This is a proper sports car. Small, RWD, razor sharp and not encumbered by the stretch to pack too much power into its delicately perfect package, the Subaru BRZ (and its Toyota 86 twin) represent a purity of concept that is exceedingly rare these day. It is a car that has a single purpose in […]

GTI; three little letters that, in any other order, wouldn’t spell anything more meaningful than “git”, but when arranged in this particular order spell out one of the more legendary badges in motoring history. Especially to any fan of the Hot Hatch genus. Now the car that took the concept of the Hot Hatch to […]
While we have had the diesel versions of Volvo’s last Ford Focus-based small car for a number of months now, the petrol version have finally arrived. The diesels are perky performers with punchy engines and great handling, so what can the petrol-powered versions add to the mix? The answer to that question is; power, and […]
The return of the nissan Pulsar to New Zealand shores hasn’t exactly sent waves of rapture running through the country, but if visual sightings of the car on the road is anything to go by, then it has been accepted well by local buyers. And why not? It is very, very well priced and a […]

Regardless of whether you like the looks or not, it is such a striking automobile that expectations are going to raised or lowered simply by looking at it. Personally, we here at OVERSTEER love it.
