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. We check it out. The Land Rover Freelander has just become the latest vehicle […]

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: 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: 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 […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Mercedes-Benz B250 The Mercedes-Benz B250 is a hard car to get your head around. On one hand you have the upright, mini-people mover body and slightly, well, grandmotherly styling. But on the other hand you have the noticeably lower ride height, big wheels and the quite frankly silly 155kW/350Nm engine lurking under […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Bentley Continental GT It isn’t every day that someone hands you the key to a $325,000 Bentley just after lunch and says “Go where you like, dinner is at 7.30”. It is even less frequent that this happens within an hour’s drive of one of the greatest motor racing circuits in the […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Mini Cooper Baker Street As the Mini is starting to get on a bit now, BMW has seen fit to start tarting it up a bit and firing out a bunch of “Special Editions” with extra kit and special paintwork and bits of trim. This is, of course, a Mini tradition, as […]
