While the Tiguan is starting to get on a bit, Volkswagen NZ has just decided to release the FWD version of its successful small SUV into the local market, in turn reducing the entry price point to $39,990 and remaining remarkably competitive in the process. But does the Tiguan lose anything (other than drive to […]

So here’s what we think so far…
I went to get some groceries in the Volt the other day. So how did it perform as a shopping trolley? Again, pretty much like an ordinary car… But you could be forgiven for not initially expecting this. The Volt’s boot is an oddity. With the long, sloping hatch being almost entirely glass, along with […]
Well, we have just completed a 400km+ round Christmas trip in the Volt and it continues to impress. Although possibly not in the way you might initially expect. Where it can potentially use literally no petrol around town – as long as you do under 60km – it will inevitably use petrol on a long […]
It is the weekend following Christmas. You may well have emerged from a food coma by now and are looking for something to watch that isn’t an ’80s sitcom repeat, wrestling or The Crowd Goes Wild. Here is a particularly awesome episode of “Roadkill” from Motor Trend where the boys build a Mad Max-esque Rat […]

Apart from […]
Merry Christmas from OVERSTEER! We hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas and New Year and look forward to bringing you all the best new car reviews, news and random stuff in 2014!
Competing in the small car segment has always been a tough game to play in, but these days it just keeps getting tougher. Just like trying to choose which car to buy in the segment… Kia haven’t made it any easier by releasing the rather good and extremely good-looking hatch version of the Cerato, either. […]
For the next few weeks, over the Christmas/New Year break, we have a Holden Volt to run around in. So we thought we would let you know exactly what it was like to actually live with Holden’s range extender electric car on a daily basis! We will be posting regular updates on our daily life […]
