OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Mini Cooper Baker Street As the Mini is starting to get on a bit now, BMW has seen fit to start tarting it up a bit and firing out a bunch of “Special Editions” with extra kit and special paintwork and bits of trim. This is, of course, a Mini tradition, as […]

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 […]

OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Honda Euro Civic L There is a strange mental disconnect when you approach the Honda Euro Civic hatch for the first time. You find yourself slightly confused. Surely, you think to yourself, this can’t be in any way related to the other car to carry the Civic name, that dull, uninspiring sedan […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Fiat 124 BC I will get something off my chest straight away here, I love Italian cars. Yes they will let you down from time to time and parts can be scarce depending on the make or model, but in my mind there are very few car-building nations that can match the […]
Do we love the Toyota 86? Of course we do! But does that mean it is a car that you can really live with on a daily basis? It is, of course, a fairly specialised sports car, but then it is also a Toyota made by Subaru, suggesting that if anyone can make a sports […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: BMW 320d When BMW launched the new 3 Series earlier this year, the company also resurrected its long-time “Ultimate Driving Machine” marketing tag. At the launch we concluded that the new 3 Series did indeed live up to the tried and true line, with a great mix of ride quality and tenacious […]
