Take one already exceptionally good car and throw a whole lot of extras at it for surprisingly little money and you should sell a bunch more of them. At least, that seems to be how it works for BMW these days. And who is going to argue with them, because in addition to a very […]

As happens quite often these days, following the range-topping (and more expensive) sporty A250, the absolute pick of the new A-Class range is the humble diesel variant; the A200 CDI. Why? Well, it really comes down to one thing; torque, and the A200CDI’s wonderful spread of its big, fat lump of torque that sees it […]
It’s a new Commodore, but is the world interested in any way? Well, the sales figures suggest that at least a few are, but nowhere near as many as there used to be. That is a shame because the VF is undoubtedly the best car that has ever come out of Australia. Packed with cutting […]
With the new Accord Honda has taken the best parts of both previous Accords – the Accord V6’s plush ride and the Accord Euro’s sharp handling – and combined them to make a thoroughly convincing package. It has its flaws, but the new Accord truly is one of the most impressive cars to come from […]
While the Citroen C4 Aircross is probably the most overlooked of the Mitsubishi ASX-based triplets – along with the Peugeot 4008 and the ASX itself – it is almost certainly the best looking of the three.

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 […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Volkswagen Golf 77kW TDI Mention the Volkswagen Golf to any motoring dunderhead and they will tell you how it is the benchmark for all family hatchbacks, and they are right. The newest seventh generation car however has gone where no Golf has gone before- drastically down in the price range, but without […]
