Tiny A-segment SUVs are the thing every manufacturer wants to have right now, with the explosion in interest in SUV generally, but the smaller end in particular. So it makes sense that the most SUV-ish car maker on the planet would want to get in on that action. We head over to the USA for […]

We here at OVERSTEER love nothing more than a GOOD Hot Hatch – and the Audi S1 is a Hot Hatch done properly! Taking the basic premise of jamming a big, powerful engine into a very small car, the Audi S1 packs the 170kW turbo engine out of the VW Golf GTi, slaps a quattro 4WD system […]
Much like the Skoda Octavia Scout that was launched only a short while before it, the Subaru Outback could always easily have been mistaken for a Legacy wagon with a jacked up ride and added plastic. Except now two things make that not the case – firstly, there will no longer be a Legacy wagon […]
On the surface the Skoda Octavia Scout could be just an Octavia wagon with added plastic bits, but in reality it is more than that. But even if it wasn’t, the Octavia is one of our favourite cars here at OVERSTEER (see here, here and here for proof of that…), so that would still make […]
Forget the rally cars, for the latest instalment of his Gymkhana series, US mentalcase Ken Block throws a custom-built AWD 630kW 1965 Ford Mustang around the streets of LA… You NEED to see this…
Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, when they first appeared, the recipe for a Hot Hatch was fairly simple – take the smallest car in your range and stuff the biggest engine you can make fit into it. That was all you needed, and in most cases it worked well. In others, not so much, […]
We are currently in France on a Peugeot launch (and to attend the Paris Motor Show) and today we were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the Musee de l’Aventure Peugeot (Peugeot museum) in Sochaux. While it was full of utterly fantastic cars (and tools, weapons, coffee grinders, bicycles, bombs, sewing machines, kitchen appliances […]
Okay, here it is – our latest Photo Gallery Road Test, this time of the Subaru WRX STi! Which may be slightly confusing because our last one was of a Subaru WRX… Actually, this one is of the hotter, nastier (in a good way) WRX STi, but there is still room for confusion. So why have […]
Someone had better call Ken Block and tell him he might as well give the Fiesta back to his mum and give up making those Gymkhana videos, because “Ballistic” BJ Baldwin has just done it better. Well, certainly bigger, at least. You see, while Mr. Block skids around in his little Fiesta rally car, Baldwin […]
We are currently up north driving a very special little car. Look for a full First Drive of the fantastic little Audi S1 very shortly…
