#Toyota #Hilux V6: more power than the elderly chassis would ever need. Vaguely terrifying. Otherwise a mild update of the old girl. 5/10 — Understeer (@UndersteerNZ) March 5, 2014

#Toyota #86 RC: stripped-out track-day special has black bumpers, tiny wheels and a cheap interior, but is staggeringly cheap and fun! 10/10 — Understeer (@UndersteerNZ) March 5, 2014
As we mentioned in yesterday’s Hyundai Elantra First Drive, small sedans seem to be the done thing this year. Our second launch this week was also a small sedan – the new sedan version of the Audi A3. Are small sedans the new black? Well, we drove a red on at the Audi launch, so […]
Is 2014 going to be the Year of the Small Sedan in New Zealand? OVERSTEER has been to the launch of two this week and there are at least a couple more to come this month, so just maybe it is… or maybe the manufacturers are just getting them out of the way early in […]
Sometimes car companies don’t put much thought into their car names. Take, for example, the Maserati Quattroporte. The name translates literally into “Four Door” in English. This may be a revelation to anyone who hasn’t actually noticed that the car has four doors, but to the rest of us it is blindingly obvious. But Maserati […]
Holden is one of the early entrants into the new “Baby SUV” segment that will shortly become more populated as other manufacturer’s clamour to turn their compact cars into jacked-up faux off roaders (usually with virtually no off road ability) and the Trax is that entrant.

Quite frankly, ever since Skoda New Zealand launched the new Octavia here, this is the version we have been hanging out for. The Octavia RS has always been a brilliant steer and we had no doubt this one would continue that tradition, especially when we found out it would have the same engine as the […]
We have now finished our time with the Holden Volt, so it is time for a wrap up of our final thoughts on it. The first thing you notice when you hop back into an “ordinary” car after just driving a Volt for almost a month is how smooth the Volt actually is. With no […]
People who enjoy the use of many, many words when few will do REJOICE – Ron is back! To celebrate the return of Ron Dennis and his almost magical ability with words, we present to you a column I wrote way back in 2009 for DRIVER magazine. I wrote the column as an open letter […]
The Grand Cherokee has always been one of those vehicles that was just plain likeable, even when it was a poorly built, soggy, big American cruiser. Now it is much more than that. Much, much more. One of our favourites – aside from the monstrous SRT8 version – has always been the brawny diesel-engined variants. […]
