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 […]
In petrol form (click here to read the Road Test) the Citroen DS5 was a car that we here at OVERSTEER loved, despite its rather glaring flaws. The biggest of those flaws were its inconsistent ride quality, dead steering and a typically French automatic transmission that was hooked up a a petrol engine that tried […]
After a few days pottering around town in the Volt we headed down south to Otorohanga for a family Christmas. The first open road trip in the Volt was a rather uneventful and rather disappointingly ordinary experience, driving home the fact that the Volt is very much like an ordinary car to drive. Apart from […]
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 […]
Wagons are cool. Even the lamest car is cooler as a wagon. So a brilliant car like the Skoda Octavia gets even more brilliant as a wagon. Don’t ask me how, it’s just the law or something… Outside Likes: New corporate nose far more modern and sleek. Compact wagon proportions are spot on. Actually looks […]
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 […]
RS6, that is. As in Audi RS6; 412kW of power, 700Nm of torque, all-wheel drive, 0 to 100km/h in a claimed 3.9 seconds (but it is actually faster than that…). That is what we had to play with today. Here is a quick teaser of some of the AWESOME footage we got. A full video […]
