What can be said about the Corolla that hasn’t really already been said before. Many, many times before. It’s a car. Not a particularly exciting car, but far from being offensively awful.

So let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way first: the Isuzu D-Max is the same ute that we have known and loved here in New Zealand as the Holden Rodeo. And then as the Holden Colorado. The whole Rodeo/D-Max thing was a collaboration between Holden and Isuzu, until a few years ago when […]
