REVIEWS

Review: Audi RS6
I am a Luddite. I have clutched with feverish intensity to the good ole days of atmospheric engines that used cubes to create performance rather than embrace the emerging era dominated by snails and superchargers. That could change with the RS6.

Review: Kia Cerato
Kia’s naked ambition is there for the world – including Australia – to see.

First drive: Honda CR-V Diesel
Honda finally brings the CR-V Diesel to Australia, and it’s got quite a lot going for it as our first drive reveals.

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

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

2013 Toyota RAV4 Review
Do buyers of SUVs place much importance on razor-sharp handling, or are there more pressing priorities?

Review: Holden Cruze
Difficult though it might be to believe, 2013 is not just about the VF Commodore for Holden.

First drive: Maserati Quattroporte
Twin-turbo Italian beauty gets more room and a stronger, lighter body to take the fight to Porsche and Aston Martin.

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder review
The open and shut case for Lamborghini ownership.

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: 2013 Honda Civic DTi-S Diesel Hatch
Journalists, by nature, are cynics. So when Honda Australia declared its first ever diesel, fitted exclusively to the Civic hatch, is as refined and as quiet as its petrol offerings, I sniggered into my morning coffee.

Review: Audi S8
The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.

First Aussie drive: Jaguar F-Type
Associate editor Westerman’s worried. He’s driven Jaguar’s F-Type through Spain’s mountainous north, and in the July 2103 issue, given it bigger raps than Jay-Z and Tupac. But has he got it right? Does European brilliance translate to Aussie awesomeness?

First drive: Infiniti Q50s hybrid
The Infiniti Q50 S proves that a hybrid-driven future doesn’t have to be horrible.

2009 Skoda Fabia review
Polo sibling to bring Czech values to supermini market.

Fiesta’s worth easy to gauge
Priorities in the Blue Oval’s new world car – safety, performance, fuel efficiency and road holding. How come the gauge needles don’t rate?

LAUNCHED: Mazda 3 MPS
Second-gen hot hatch tames the torque, but still walks the walk.

Ferrari 458 Italia
Peter Robinson’s long history with Ferrari was ignited by a late-’60s love affair with a Dino 246. Since then he’s driven virtually every subsequent model from Maranello, making him hard to oust as the man to thrash the brilliant, blinding 458 Italia
