The Range Rover Sport has been a remarkable success for the Jaguar Land Rover Group since its launch in 2005 and that success would certainly appear to be continuing for the all-new model, which has already seen 100 orders placed before it even goes on sale locally. In fact the demand is so strong that […]

Hybrids. They’re the future, buddy. Except they’re not. A feel-good stop-gap between internal combustion and true emission-free motoring, to be sure, but hardly the long-term future. But as a short-term solution, the diesel-hybrid goodness of the Peugeot 3008 HY4 is about as good – and certainly as quirky – as they come. Forget all this […]
Or should that be “A bunch of Hyundai”? Pffft… plurals. Who cares? Anyway, a low-key series of revamps was there order of the day for the Hyundai MY14 range launch in a wet, miserable Auckland the other day. The ix35, i40 wagon, Accent and Elantra all got upgrades for the forthcoming sales year, adding more […]
Just in case you don’t know OVERSTEER is also on the Twitter (@OversteerNZ), the Facebook (OversteerNZ) and Tumblr (OversteerNZ) and you can also check out our lovely pics on Instagram (OversteerNZ) and Flickr (OversteerNZ), although we haven’t got around to doing a lot with the last one yet. We will though! So get Liking and […]
It was one of those awful decisions: go down to Highlands to witness the very first (and utterly epic) motor racing event held there, or stay home and catch up on some work… Common sense suggested we catch up on the much overdue work, but the heart screamed that was completely and utterly wrong. Now […]
The Mercedes-Benz E 63S AMG is an utter beast and it makes the kind of colossal noise that leaves you in no doubt of that whatsoever. To try and capture than noise, we attached a GoPro down by the exhaust and took it for a blast on a country road. This didn’t work, as the […]
The Mercedes Benz E-Class has always had a slightly hard road to travel, what with having to cary out multiple duties as a taxi, luxury express and see-you-out car, depending on its market, spec level and perceived place in things in the country it is sold in. While that may seem to make it a […]
Yesterday we posted our coverage of the magnificent new Bentley Flying Spur, which we rather liked. Today we head back in time a wee bit to (almost) the beginnings of Bentley. The Flying Spur launch was held at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell and, as they only had two Flying Spurs available for road drives, […]
Bentley’s resurgence under Volkswagen’s ownership has been a sometimes-painful, but mostly gratifying thing to observe. The Continental did attract an unfortunate number of footballer’s WAGs to the table, but the strong racing spirit that has been quietly rekindled (the 2003 Le Mans win and the forthcoming Continental GT3 race car) is now starting to shine […]
For a full Road Test of the Honda Accord 2.4 click here. It is almost like Honda started with the V6 version of the new Accord, then started pulling stuff off it to create the four-cylinder version. “Two cylinders? Yep, get rid of those.” “That extra ratio in the transmission? Lose it.” “Those sexy twin […]
