Review: Volvo’s all-new V40 with Pedestrian Airbag Technology
Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing.
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: Audi SQ5
Be warned, we are on a slippery slope of sound manipulation.
First drive: Porsche 918 Spyder
Wheels flies 56 hours for 28 minutes on-track in a $2million hybrid Porsche supercar. Wouldn’t you?
First drive: Chevrolet SS
James Stanford drives the Chevrolet SS in Palm Springs.
Review: Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
You won’t find ‘Race Start’ on the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. The launch-control technology that helps make the smaller E63 AMG the fastest accelerating sedan in Wheels’ history is ignored in the still supercar-fast S63.
Review: Volvo V40 XC
When the words ‘cross country’ appear on a vehicle, there’s an immediate issue in managing expectations. Volvo’s new V40 derivative suffers from just such a challenge.
Review: Kia Cerato hatch
Stone motherless last. Not a position you really want to find yourself, unless, say, you’re a guest of the Americans in Guantanamo Bay and there’s a lengthy cue for a go on the water board.
2013 Holden Trax Review
The world has gone small-SUV mad. In markets all over the globe, the satchel-sized Sport Utility Vehicle has become the hottest thing since sleeve tattoos and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.
2013 Alfa Romeo 4C Review
This is a slightly sad, mildly embarrassing thing to admit, but sometimes – very rarely – the unveiling of a car can make all the hair on my body stand up and dance.
Volvo’s twin-charged future
Why not both?
2013 Range Rover Autobiography Review
The day when cars can assess your mood as you’re driving and react accordingly – playing Gregorian chants, or birdsong when you’re stressed, sending mild electric shocks to your crotch when you’re sleepy – is fast approaching, but I didn’t realise it was already here.
2013 Holden Commodore SS-V Redline Review
So many performance Commodores over the last 20 years haven’t cut it as track cars. But those days are over.
2013 Lotus Exige S Review
If you like it hardcore, you’ll see the light
2013 Range Rover Sport Review
Find something it can’t do. Go on, try…
2013 Hyundai i30 SR Review
In Hyundai-speak, it’s the “Local Model Expansion Strategy.” For us, the first result of a more adaptable product-development approach is the i30 SR, a warm hatch that is (for the moment) unique to Australia.
Review: Mercedes A250
It’s not like Mercedes-Benz to get left behind, but there’s no denying the Aussie branch of the world’s oldest car maker has stood idly while BMW and Audi raked in the cash, and the entry-level buyers, with their 1 Series and A1 respectively.
Review: Mitsubishi Mirage
Since the closure of the Tonsley Park assembly plant in 2008, Mitsubishi Motors Australia has struggled to come to terms with both its past and future. Staff have come and gone, managing directors have been rotated like Aussie fast bowlers, and the GFC strangled the vital supply of new product from Japan.
Review: BMW X1
WITH Audi’s Q3 premium compact and smart, affordable crossover alternatives such as Kia’s Sportage, Mitsubishi’s Outlander and Subaru’s XV stealing customers, BMW is fighting back with a wide-ranging mid-life upgrade of its X1.
Review: Honda CRV
The new, Thai-built fourth-generation is easily the best CR-V in the model’s 17-year history.
Review: Porsche Cayman
Poor man’s 911? Don’t believe it. In fact, until the 991 911 range is filled out with the superstar Turbo and GT models, the second-generation Cayman S is the most focused and fun car Porsche currently makes.
Review: Audi RS4 Avant
Who says the fast life has to stop when you start a family?
Review: Opel OPC range
The odd thing about pushing this car really hard is that you know exactly when you think the car will start understeering, and steering-wheel tugging, but it just doesn’t.
Review: Mazda 6
If the new Mazda 6 was just 50 cents longer, it would be as big as a Commodore.
