The Nissan Navara has long been a mainstay in the local ute segment, generally hanging around the top five sellers, occasionally breaking into the top three and generally being a handsome, rugged option that was always worth consideration. While the old D22 (it was originally launched in 1997) managed to survive its replacement by the […]

The recent explosion in popularity of the baby SUV has seen a number of manufacturers caught short and now lacking what has quickly become an important part of the range. But not Mazda. The Japanese manufacturer has been on a blinding roll recently, with remarkably good product pouring from its factories; the Mazda6, Mazda3 and […]
The Citroen C4 has struggled for sales a bit as of late, despite the local distributor managing to get a some remarkably good pricing across the range. So now, for the facelifted C4, they are trying the opposite approach and the C4 range now consists of one very well stocked model. The new C4 now gets […]
The Ford Fiesta ST is simply one of our favourite cars ever here at OVERSTEER. Its happy puppy-like enthusiasm is infectious and its ability to simply rip corners to shreds is utterly addictive. Very little has changed since we last tested the ST, in fact, nothing has changed. But that includes the price and even […]
The Citroen C4 range is a slightly odd one these days. Not because the cars are strange – they are, apart from the brilliantly odd C4 Cactus, some of the most “normal” cars Citroen has ever made. No, what is odd about them is the fact that five cars make up the C4 range – […]

We have had along wait here in New Zealand for the new Ford Mondeo. The USA got it back in 2012 as the Fusion, while a change of manufacturing facilities has seen RHD production delayed by a number of years. But it is here now and it has some pretty big expectations that it needs […]
Around a year ago Volvo New Zealand quietly launched the first of the Drive-E engines into the local market nestling in the engine bay of the S60 and V60. Since that time two things have happened – more Volvos have been equipped with Drive-E engines and Volvo New Zealand has sold more cans in a […]
The Lexus RC F takes over from the IS F as the performance flagship in the Lexus line up (not counting the limited LF A, that is) and as such packs a revised version of the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 that featured in the IS, but in an all-new two door coupe body that takes the Japanese […]
#Fiat Panda: maximum fun at the slowest speed possible. Tiny 2-cylinder engine and comedy trans are brilliant. Super cheap. 9/10 #TweetTest
