Benz B180 CDI Short Stay – May 2009
Roomy, boomy and not real zoomy.

Hyundai i30 CRDi Long Termer – May 2009
Cruise gremlins miss deadline.

1999 Subaru 22B STi: Greatest Impreza ever
Built to satisfy new world rally championship rules, the 1999 subaru STI 22B is the greatest impreza road car ever

LAUNCHED: Porsche Boxster

Mazda CX-9 short stay – April 2009
Space, the final frontier.

Hyundai i30 CRDi Long Termer – April 2009
Capitalising on the folding stuff.

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper S Cabriolet
Finally, second-gen goes sunny-side up.

Hyundai i30 CRDi Long Termer – March 2009
Going for gold, but all’s not cruisy…

City Of Lights – Ford Fiesta LX vs Honda Jazz VTi vs Mazda 2 Neo vs Toyota Yaris YRS
We’ve established that Ford’s globe-trotting Fiesta is a small car with sizeable talent. Time now to see how brightly it shines when facing its natural nemeses.

Brotherly Shove – Audi RS6 vs Lambo Gallardo LP560 – 4
Two very different cars, one shared V10 heart. So should the VW Group be your preferred supplier for the ultimate two-car garage?

Hyundai i30 CRDi Long Termer – February 2009
It’s a long way into top.

Audi TTS v BMW 135i v Mazda RX-8 GT v Nissan 350Z

Hyundai i30 CDRi Long Termer – January 2009
Oil aboard Korea’s hybrid-alternative hatch.

This week’s Wheels – Mazda 6 Diesel Sports hatch
The 6 fills a Japanese-branded gap in the diesel passenger market.

LAUNCHED: Lexus RX350
RX returns to refine the luxo SUV formula it defined.

Second sight – Honda Insight
Gen-two of Honda’s hybrid won’t lure buyers with its driving dynamics, but a $30K price tag and low running costs might have the pull to convert Prius zealots.

LAUNCHED: Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Gasp! A Porsche oiler? Relax, it’s actually quite okay.

Poles apart – BMW X6M X5M
The latest additions to BMW’s legendary M division forego big revs for serious slugs of turbocharged torque. Our pre-production drive in northern Sweden suggests they’re both seductive and questionable…

A new supercharged 5.0-litre V8 slingshots Jaguar’s XFR to the pointy end of the Euro sports sedan line-up.

FIRST DRIVE: Jaguar XKR
Coupe now with sharper claws.

2009 Audi R8 V10 Review
Audi’s R8 already shares DNA with Lambo’s Gallardo, and now they’ve added the baby bull’s V10 heart. Porsche’s 911 Turbo should be scared, very scared…

Axles of evil – M3 v C63 AMG v IS F
There’s a new threat to the world order of compact sports sedans – a made-in-Japan missile with M Division and AMG in its sights…

2009 Volkswagen Golf VI review
Round six, and both performance and economy are above par.
