We have always been HUGE fans of the Suzuki Swift Sport here at OVERSTEER – it is not only a small car with loads of character, Suzuki have actually made meaningful changes to the ordinary Swift to transform it into the Sport, as opposed to slapping some badges and a spoiler on it. It not […]

On the surface the Skoda Octavia Scout could be just an Octavia wagon with added plastic bits, but in reality it is more than that. But even if it wasn’t, the Octavia is one of our favourite cars here at OVERSTEER (see here, here and here for proof of that…), so that would still make […]
To be completely honest, there hasn’t been a hell of a lot that has changed about the Renault Megane RS265 since we last drove it, but it is the sort of car that when a company asks you if you want to drive it again, you simply don’t say no… Since our last experience in […]
Citroen is doing things a bit differently with the launch of the C4 Picasso in New Zealand – rather than having a traditional media launch where journalists drive the car and get all the relevant information, the company has simply sent the info to us and booked in test drives in the New Year.

This blatant break with naming tradition is all something to do with the French company’s new naming convention that is quite complicated and has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Peugeot was running out […]
The launch of the new Peugeot 308 was a good excuse to spend a few days driving around France in a bunch of them. We didn’t expect driving around the 308’s home land would prove just how good it would be in New Zealand though! NOTE: This link opens a page on the NZ Herald website.
The 508 has been around since 2010, when it was introduced to replace both the smaller 407 and the larger 607 and has struggled to make much of an impact in the local medium sedan/wagon segment. This is disappointing – as it is a very good car that deserves better – and yet not unexpected, as […]
