OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Hyundai i40 Elite sedan We here are OVERSTEER are more than familiar with the Hyundai i40 in its wagon form, so what does the sedan version bring to the party? Well, more of the same, really. The introduction of the i40 sedan functions more as giving Hyundai a diesel entrant into the […]

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 […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Holden Barina CDX It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes a version of a car comes along that changes your original perception of it. The CDX version of the Holden Barina actually seems to be one of those cars… Originally, I didn’t like the Barina very much. It looked great, but was […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Holden Colorado 7 Okay, so the Colorado ute missed the target somewhat, but how about the seven-seat SUV version? It’s got a more sophisticated rear suspensions set up for a start, so it shouldn’t be as crap, right? Turns out that actually IS right! We take the Holden Colorado 7 for a […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Ferrari F355 There is only one way to say this; the Ferrari F355 is an exquisite piece of machinery. It has received much praise from the motoring press over the years and for good reason; it is a properly good car! Built as a replacement for the 348TB, it was more than […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Jaguar XF 2.0i4 It’s an XF, Jim, but not as we know it… The XF gets a boost from Ford. An EcoBoost, that is, as the XF becomes the latest car to appear on our shores with Ford’s fantastic 2.0-litre four-cylinder giant killer under its bonnet. Although Jaguar would prefer it if […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Volkswagen Polo R-Line We here at OVERSTEER are unashamed fans of Volkswagen’s littlest local offering, the Polo. It has all the charm of cheerful puppy, but can turn savage when pointed at a corner. Savage in a good way, that is, not in “a Kia Rio on Eco-tyres in the wet” kind […]
The Volkswagen Golf has long been the five-door hatch benchmark and, as such, played in the upper-levels of the price range for the segment. But now the Golf goes on the attack with drastically reduced prices and increased spec. We spend a day thrashing a couple of them at the Golf 7 launch. What is […]
