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. Featuring the same 3-cylinder engine and same platform as the new 5-door Mini, […]
Welcome to the first ever OVERSTEER/NZ Motoring Podcast 90 Second Test! The 90 Second Tests will feature some of the cars Damien and David talk about on the NZ Motoring Podcast, but with exciting and pretty moving pictures known as “video” for you to enjoy as well. We will be doing one or two from each […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Welcome to our second-ever Photo Gallery Road Test, this time of the mighty Subaru WRX Premium auto. You can check out our Road Test of the manual WRX here, the story and videos from the launch here or just enjoy the pretty gallery below. It is pretty simple to sue; just click on the photo […]
