The Hyundai i30 is one of our favourite small hatches here at OVERSTEER. We like it for its dynamic nature and value-for-money appeal, as well as its swoopy looks. The wagon version is based on the same platform as the hatch – the previous generation had a longer wheelbase than the hatch version – so […]

The latest of Citroen’s avant-garde DS range to reach our shores is an absolute visual masterpiece. Regardless of whether you like the looks or not, it is such a striking automobile that expectations are going to raised or lowered simply by looking at it. Personally, we here at OVERSTEER love it. Now, we have been […]
Welcome to the first-ever, utterly historic OVERSTEER 3D road test! That’s right, a road test in 3D! Why? Umm… well, there’s this app you see and we really wanted to try it out… Aw, hell, it doesn’t matter why – just enjoy the exciting 3D-iness! We were going to claim it was the first-ever 3D […]
Three months ago we bought you the launch of the new BMW 3 Series Touring – or wagon to you and I – complete with the promise of all-wheel drive versions just around the corner. Well, now those AWD – otherwise known as xDrive – versions of the sexy and capable wagon are here. We […]
The Suzuki Swift Sport is a simply brilliant little car. It has been a favourite of motoring journalists and actual buyers since its launch in 2005. Although the latest incarnation of the Swift was a very conservative, gentle revamping of the previous model, the latest-generation Sport bought even more driver involvement. Although its price has […]

OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Aston Martin DB9 It has been nearly a decade since Aston Martin replaced the company-saving DB7 with the cutting edge DB9, a car that wowed all who drove it. recently the DB9 has been extensively updated, so we felt it right that we should spend a bit of time with one… The […]
Despite its somewhat elderly underpinnings (it is, after all, based on the same – admittedly modified – platform as the S-Type) the XF Jaguar is truly every bit the modern mid-size executive/luxury sedan. With engines ranging from an absolutely brilliant 2-litre four-cylinder engine up to the monstrous 5-litre supercharged V8 in this XFR, the XF […]
The Ford Ranger, like the Volkswagon Amarok before it and its Mazda BT-50 twin-under-the-skin, redefined what we expect from a ute. Even in its basic workhorse form, the Ranger’s quality and dynamic ability shine brightly. The term “car-like” has been tossed around a lot to sum up the improving comfort levels and handling of modern […]
The BMW M3 is a legend, regardless of which one you are talking about. This one is the last of the V8-powered E92 coupes and it may prove to be more of a legend than most. The noise and fury of a V8 M3 on full song was remarkable when it first came out and […]
