REVIEWS

LAUNCHED: Audi S4
Supercharged V6 replaces atmo V8, but no sympathy cards required.

A5 Sportback
The latest step in fast-moving Audi’s global product strategy is the A5 Sportback – a hard-to-describe model lobbing into a new segment.

Abarth Punto Evo
Scorpion badge brings sting to Fiat’s hatch

Review: Nissan Pulsar
OCCASIONALLY the backstory is more intriguing than the subject itself. Welcome, then, to the fall and rise of the Pulsar, dormant after seven long years of the spectacularly unsuccessful C11-series Tiida.

Review: Mercedes-Benz CLA
Thinking of the CLA-Class as a baby brother to the CLS is right and wrong.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E400
Will anyone lament the loss of the V8 from the engine menu in Mercedes-Benz’s standard E-Class line-up for Australia when a tasty V6 has been added? Probably not.

First drive: Jaguar XFR-S
It seems like just yesterday, because it was, that we were telling you about how strange it was of Jaguar to put its savagely tuned 5.0-litre V8 in its XJ limo to create the XJR.

First drive: Subaru WRX STI
One of rally’s original turbo ’toon cars grows up

First drive: BMW M3 & M4
Highly anticipated duo will restore M division’s stellar reputation

2009 Kia Cerato review
Korean Corolla rival benefits from German influence

LAUNCHED: Skoda Octavia
Price-leader 1.6 joins value-packed range.

Open wide and say R
Can VW’s new Uber Golf R cut it against Renault’s Megane 250 cup and Ford’s sharp-as Focus RS in the battle of the hyper hatches?

Audi A7 Sportback
Think of it as the next-gen A6 with slinkier looks and a slickback

Review: Mitsubishi Outlander LS
Previous Outlanders have never been standout performers in the increasingly competitive medium SUV segment, but they’ve sold solidly due to their appealing seven-seat practicality and good value.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
Excess, as AMG well knows, equals success.

Review: Holden Malibu
Holden keeps its foot firmly on the gas with the launch of its all-new Malibu mid-size sedan, which arrives hard on the heels of the VF Commodore.

First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo S
An outward display of raw fear is not an attractive quality in a man, so it’s a good thing I wear a strong poker-face.

First drive: Volkswagen Golf wagon
In a world where station wagons being eaten alive by SUVs of all sizes the newest Golf wagon provides a compelling alternative

2009 Volvo XC60 review
Check the badge. Yep, it’s a Volvo.

This week’s Wheels – Ford Fiesta LX
Prized progeny of the blue oval proves good drives can come in small packages.

LAUNCHED: Kia Cerato Koup
Good looks and, umm, looks good.

Right Hook Chevrolet Camaro Review
Holden won’t import the thunderous Chevy Camaro (yet), but in this exclusive first Aussie drive courtesy of Queensland-based Performax, we’re able to unleash the wild horses of a bona-fide Pony Car

Suzuki Kizashi AWD
All-wheel drive signals tilt at Subaru

Review: Range Rover
The new Range Rover is so quiet I can hear the leather creaking, and I can’t decide if that’s a flaw or a feature.
