2011 Audi A7 Review
Audi joins four-door coupe party. Mind your head
Review: Audi Q5
LIKE A weary Goldilocks in search of a bed, a parent’s pursuit of the perfect family car is a quest for that ‘just right’ moment, when you open the door, like what you see, picture the billy lids safe and happy in the back seat and realise that this is the one.
Review: Mercedes-Benz CLA
Thinking of the CLA-Class as a baby brother to the CLS is right and wrong.
Review: Audi SQ5
Be warned, we are on a slippery slope of sound manipulation.
FIRST DRIVE: Audi S3
The conservatively-styled Audi S3 returns with more power, more grip and more luxury…and a lower price to boot.
First drive: Kia ProCeed GT
Shock sub-$30K pricing and Euro engineering underpin Kia’s first driver’s car
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 review
New 5.2-litre V10 heralds a meaner, leaner – yet greener – baby Bull.
Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS
The second-gen of Mazda’s wild-child hot hatch is as wickedly potent as the first, but chassis changes have reined in the manic torque steer, and helped deliver handling that’s no longer a handful.
LAUNCHED: Audi TT TDI
The diesel sports car has landed.
Mercedes E500 Coupe
CLK successor makes a class distinction
Review: Infiniti G37
Who do you think you are, Infiniti? That’s a reasonable enough question, seeing as the ‘new’ G37 (born 2007, actually) might be deemed an upstart against its pedigree (if equally aged) BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class opponents.
Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
Excess, as AMG well knows, equals success.
Review: Maserati Quattroporte S
Lift the bonnet of the new Quattroporte S for a glimpse of Maserati’s future.
FIRST DRIVE: Nissan Altima
Replacing the long-standing Maxima, Nissan Altima’s value equation climbs as you descend the range.
First drive: Subaru WRX
It’s still a WRX, but a more refined, better-handling, more involving iteration
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera review
Handgun on his hip, the Arizona sheriff leans through the shallow driver’s window of Lamborghini’s new hardcore track weapon.
Indecent exposure – Audi TTS v BMW Z4 v Merc SLK 350 v Porsche Boxster S
Who needs sunshine when you have four of Germany’s hottest convertibles ready to unleash in the Aussie Alps?
3 Kings – Chevrolet Camaro vs Holden Coupe 60 vs Holden Monaro
We muster Holden’s oz-developed muscle-car royalty to find the coupe worthy of the pony-car crown.
Audi R8 Spyder
Top chopped, engine note cranked to V10
Driven: Mini Paceman
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.
Review: Porsche 911 C4S
Is it a sign of the times that Porsche Australia reckons the typical 911 Carrera 4 buyer is motivated by its fatter stance and greater presence, not necessarily its extra grip?
Review: BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Brings the speed, but not the pharmacology
FIRST DRIVE: Holden Barina RS
Holden introduces the RS badge to its diminutive Barina. But is it warm or hot?
First drive: Nissan X-Trail
Aussie SUV favourite finds refinement and offers seven-seat option
