Andy Enright

After spells writing for titles such as The Times, Autocar, Car and Top Gear Australia, interspersed with teaching people which way the Nürburgring goes, Andy Enright pitched up in Melbourne in 2013.

What followed was a terrifying couple of years pretending he knew one old Falcon from another on Unique Cars before stepping into the more comfortable shoes of the Deputy Editor role at Wheels and then the big chair at MOTOR.

Since then, he’s returned to Wheels as Editor, consolidated his role as one of Australia’s leading motoring journalists, underscored his reputation as a very handy steerer and proven a master of writing about himself in the third person.

How the first Audi R8 became a modern classic supercar

The supercar that gave the 911 a proper fright

You may well have seen figures showing that electric vehicles are now more popular than cars with manual gearboxes, in the US at least. Here things are often a bit different but, in five months of 2019, the Tesla Model 3 sold more than 3500 units.  That’s more than the combined manual registrations for Ford Mustang, BMW 2 Series, Toyota 86, Mazda MX-5, Chevrolet Camaro and Porsche 911 for the same period– ie, the very cars you might well buy equipped with three pedals and a stick. To make matters worse for those who like to change gear themselves, in a reversal of common practice, BMW has announced that the base price for its sports coupes would be for the automatic model, with its low-volume manuals being cost-plus options on cars like the M2, M3 and M4. So things are certainly looking grim for the manual, and have for some time. Mercedes doesn’t offer a manual model. Now that the base Giulietta has been shuffled out to pasture, we get no manual Alfas. Roll that thought round in your head for a while. There
