Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG

Excess, as AMG well knows, equals success.

Review: Mercedes-Benz CLA

Thinking of the CLA-Class as a baby brother to the CLS is right and wrong.

Review: Audi R8

The R8 supercar is the best thing that has ever happened to Audi.

Review: Renault Zoe

The future really is another country, one from which I've just returned.

Review: Volkswagen Golf GTI

Can Volkswagen do no wrong?

Volvo S60 Polestar Limited Edition

Here, at last, is a truly fast Volvo that isn’t rubbish.

Review: 2013 Honda Civic DTi-S Diesel Hatch

Journalists, by nature, are cynics. So when Honda Australia declared its first ever diesel, fitted exclusively to the Civic hatch, is as refined and as quiet as its petrol offerings, I sniggered into my morning coffee.

Review: Mazda CX-5 2.5 AWD

Among 2012’s more eventful moments were Lance Armstrong’s performance-enhanced fall and the meteoric rise of Mazda’s CX-5.

Review: Ford Kuga

It's the most technologically advanced vehicle Ford has ever sold in Australia, utilising enough computer power to send a monkey to the moon, and back, and it's not a luxury sedan, or even a mega truck, it's just a medium SUV - the new Kuga.

2013 Toyota RAV4 Review

Do buyers of SUVs place much importance on razor-sharp handling, or are there more pressing priorities?

Review: Audi RS6

I am a Luddite. I have clutched with feverish intensity to the good ole days of atmospheric engines that used cubes to create performance rather than embrace the emerging era dominated by snails and superchargers. That could change with the RS6.

Review: VW Beetle

Remember Peter Weir’s The Cars That Ate Paris? Evidently VW doesn’t.

Review: Volvo's all-new V40 with Pedestrian Airbag Technology

Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing.

Review: Volvo V40

Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing. The pitch for the V40, however, is even stranger, appealing as it does to people’s altruism.

Review: Opel Corsa OPC

There are a lot of emotions I expected to see on the face of the bloke getting out of the Opel Corsa OPC in front of me – bemusement, sadness, fear – but joy was not one of them.

Review: Range Rover

The new Range Rover is so quiet I can hear the leather creaking, and I can’t decide if that’s a flaw or a feature.

Review: Mitsubishi Outlander LS

Previous Outlanders have never been standout performers in the increasingly competitive medium SUV segment, but they’ve sold solidly due to their appealing seven-seat practicality and good value.

Review: Nissan Pulsar

OCCASIONALLY the backstory is more intriguing than the subject itself. Welcome, then, to the fall and rise of the Pulsar, dormant after seven long years of the spectacularly unsuccessful C11-series Tiida.

Review: Audi A7

Audi’s MY13 A7 delivers most of the things an MY12 owner might wish for, plus some bonuses, but the steering’s still a bit weird.

Review: Holden Cruze Sportswagon

DOES anyone else out there think wagons are pretty sexy looking?

Review: Hyundai Genesis

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.

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: 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: 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.
