The Mini Paceman is the eighth addition to the ever-increasing/increasingly-confusing Mini family. Now, try and stay with me here; the Paceman is the smaller, three-door version of the Countryman. Which essentially makes it the smaller, three-door version of the larger five-door version of the original smaller three-door Mini hatch. Dunno about you, but it makes […]

Once upon a time, the idea of a “sporty” SUV would have been laughable. The concept of a sports car and a SUV were about as diametrically opposed as it was possible to get in the world of cars, so the idea of combining the properties of the two would have simply been ridiculous and […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Lexus LS 460 F Sport The Lexus LS is one of our firm favourites here at OVERSTEER, especially in LWB hybrid guise, so how does the SWB sporty version stack up? We take one for a thrash to find out. The F Sport-isation of the Lexus range has finally reached the LS […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Lexus LS 600hL It’s massive, impossibly quiet and unsettlingly brown and we here at OVERSTEER love it to bits; the Lexus LS 600hL is the biggest Lexus on the block and it just keeps getting quieter and more high-tech. But has a recent infusion of bling hurt it at all? We take […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Land Rover Freelander Si4 It’s been around for a while now and while some of the shine has undoubtedly come off, the Land Rover Freelander has had an update that should more then help to keep it relevant.

Well, more of the same, really. The introduction of the i40 sedan functions more as giving Hyundai a diesel entrant into the […]
In October last year we bought you the First Drive of the new mega-hot hatch from BMW, the M135i. That was in Australia. Now we are proud to bring you the very first drive of the M135i on New Zealand soil. OVERSTEER has driven the car more than 1,500km from Auckland to Queenstown over two […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Subaru Impreza WRX Crouching Tiger Edition While the new Impreza is upon us there is a conspicuous absence of a WRX version – this is because there will be no more Impreza WRX’s. Instead, the WRX badge is being spun off as a separate model – much like Nissan did with the […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series LX double cab It is big, it is square and it is white. It is not a fridge, although if it had one, that is the only thing that would make it cooler. It is the Land Cruiser 70 Series and it it still as awesome as […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S While the overall shape hasn’t exactly evolved a lot over 50 years, the bits stuffed underneath the familiar shape have got better and better. And the familiar shape has, of course, had to grow to fit more bits and pieces jammed into it. This means the 911 is […]
