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: Aston Martin V8 Vantage While Bond is back in his DB5 for Skyfall, we got to experience the new look 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Sportshift. Given we here at OVERSTEER are car obsessed James Bond fans, you could say we enjoyed that… While the Vantage hasn’t exactly had any real James […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Chevrolet Impala I wonder just how many times I have seen the Chevrolet Impala in Hip Hop and Rap music videos. They are usually painted in a nice shade of psychedelic purple, or maybe lime green with gold rims, and the compulsory hydraulic suspension, for when these “Playas” want to raise the […]
Recently we were lucky enough to spend four days with the mighty BMW M6 down in the South Island. This wasn’t a true road test – that will come later – what we were doing was taking it on a road trip from Christchurch to Dunedin, with a bypass on the way to check out […]

The Volkswagen Amarok has been around for a couple of years now, but that hasn’t dulled the impact of just how damn good it is. It came in to the ute segment with a bang and drastically shook up the concept of just what it was we expected from our workhorses. They no longer had […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Renault Megane RS265 The Renault Megane RS265 is one of the hottest Hot Hatches currently available in the New Zealand market. We take one fresh off the Targa for a thrash. Well, what the hell did you expect us to do with it? Although recently all Renault has seemed to be capable […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Ford Mustang The Ford Mustang stands to this day as the fastest selling car of all time. When the car made its debut at the New York World’s Fair on the 17th of April 1964, Ford sold 100,000 in the first three months of production. People like Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds […]
