XCAR drive the “best Bentley yet”

Did we ever tell you about the time OVERSTEER drove a Bentley Continental around Bathurst? Yes? Several times? Ah, well, that’s good, because we like to remind people about it on a regular basis. That is why this video was a good excuse – the XCAR boys spend a bit of quality time bonding with the Bentley […]

The latest NZ MOTORING PODCAST is now available and here is the video test of the BMW 218i Active Tourer that features in it! The first-ever FWD BMW is a remarkably good little package that we enjoyed spending time in over the Christmas break.

QUICK DRIVE: Suzuki Swift Sport

We have always been HUGE fans of the Suzuki Swift Sport here at OVERSTEER – it is not only a small car with loads of character, Suzuki have actually made meaningful changes to the ordinary Swift to transform it into the Sport, as opposed to slapping some badges and a spoiler on it. It not […]

QUICK DRIVE: Renault Megane RS265

To be completely honest, there hasn’t been a hell of a lot that has changed about the Renault Megane RS265 since we last drove it, but it is the sort of car that when a company asks you if you want to drive it again, you simply don’t say no… Since our last experience in […]

QUICK DRIVE: BMW 435i Gran Coupe

Now, I must admit that I am something of a fan of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, despite its silly name, but even I seriously doubt that something like this ever happened: Customer: “Excuse me Salesman, do you have something like this [points to 3 Series sedan] but a bit lower and sportier?” Salesman: “Ah, […]

PHOTO GALLERY ROAD TEST: Subaru WRX STi

Okay, here it is – our latest Photo Gallery Road Test, this time of the Subaru WRX STi! Which may be slightly confusing because our last one was of a Subaru WRX… Actually, this one is of the hotter, nastier (in a good way) WRX STi, but there is still room for confusion. So why have […]

QUICK DRIVE: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Overland

The Jeep Wrangler is no stranger here at OVERSTEER, in fact we would go as far as to say it is one of our all-time favourites, despite (or, indeed, perhaps even because of) its glaring – and, quite frankly, blatant – shortcomings as a road-going vehicle. Off-road, however, it is utterly unbeatable, and this, along […]

ROAD TEST: HSV Senator Signature

Car names. It is a tricky art getting it just right. Coming up with a name that invokes the spirit of the car is a very hard thing to do – the Ford Probe, for example, failed quite badly at that when, instead of invoking images of a cutting-edge machine used for space exploration, it […]
