FIRST DRIVE: FIAT PUNTO POP

The Fiat Punto is back

First drive: Isuzu MU-X

Isuzu clearly knows when it’s onto a good thing. Riding on the D-Max’s wave of success – which is up 30 percent year on year – the Japanese brand will launch its first SUV, the MU-X, in Australia next month. And we’ve been driving it.

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.

First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo S

An outward display of raw fear is not an attractive quality in a man, so it’s a good thing I wear a strong poker-face.

First drive: Jaguar XFR-S

It seems like just yesterday, because it was, that we were telling you about how strange it was of Jaguar to put its savagely tuned 5.0-litre V8 in its XJ limo to create the XJR.

First drive: Jaguar XJR

Making a super sporty version of a luxury limousine may make as much sense as putting wheels on a king size bed, but that doesn't stop car companies from doing it.

Quick spin: Fiat Punto Pop

It’s cheap, it’s small and it’s Italian – everyone meet the ‘new’ Fiat Punto.

First drive: Australia's most powerful car

Say hello to the most powerful production car ever built in Australia.

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?

Review: Fiat 500 1.2 Pop

“It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!” singer/songwriter Dolly Parton once remarked. And then there’s this – Fiat’s ‘repositioned’ but otherwise unchanged 500. Now from $14,000 driveaway, it’s the least expensive way to look classy on four wheels.
