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. Looks ARE subjective, but we here at OVERSTEER rather like the C4 Aircross for its distinct twist of Citroen-quirk […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
