People movers. Once upon a time buying one pretty much told the world that you had given up on the idea of fun and had fully embraced the idea of functional. They were a sensible mode of transport for people who, when asked what kind of car they drove answered with the colour. However, that […]

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 […]
Traditionally – well, in recent history, at least – small, sporty, two-door cars have been mainly bought by people over 40, with at least half of them being of the female persuasion. That was, of course, until the Toyota 86 came along and dared to attract a whole bunch of young males to a market […]
Every time a new BMW X5 is launched there comes the constant reminder from BMW that it is most definitely NOT an SUV. Nope. SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle and the X5 most certainly not that. No, apparently the X5 is an SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. Yes, apparently there IS a difference. To […]
“A massive improvement” would be the best way to describe the revised Colorado ute and Colorado 7 SUV. And it was an improvement that needed to happen too. When it was launched the Colorado was, well, underwhelming. Holden had taken aim at the venerable Toyota Hilux and while it had made a better ute than […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sometime OVERSTEER contributor Karl Burnett was recently lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the upcoming awesomeness that is Forza Motorsport 5 on the Xbox One for NZGamer.com and they were kind enough to let us share his conclusions here! Thanks guys! I’ve been a fan of Forza Motorsport since the game’s initial release […]
