High (performance) Society – CUPRA Ateca review.
For a while now, high-performance SUVs have been a thing. They merge the practicality of a family sized vehicle with the feeling of high-riding safety and then to top it all off, add in a powerful drive train to satisfy our hunger to go quickly. However, it seems that traditionally, performance SUVs have been the […]
Leaner, Meaner – Porsche Macan II review
The scent of Premium Alcantara/leather enlivens your senses the moment you step inside the new Porsche Macan SUV and it’s wunderbar. Despite only being launched into the automotive world around five years ago, the sporty Porsche Macan has certainly more than simply ingratiated itself into the performance marque’s family. Smaller than the Cayenne, larger than […]
Sapphire and Steel, happy 65th Holden
Tall cars and even taller stories awaited us at an event that was advertised as ‘65 Million years in the making.’ It was Holden’s 65th Anniversary and what a way to celebrate. We rather fittingly boarded a ropey old plane to the Chatham Islands, 828km East of New Zealand, three hours late and what followed […]

The KIA Cerato goes forth – Kia Cerato review
The all-new Kia Cerato’s design (in part) hails from California while its suspension and handling, I’m reliably informed, have been influenced by a highly regarded European marque’s motorsport division – now having seen and then driven the GT version, I believe it all shows. With its first-generation leaving the Korean factory around 2003/4, the Kia […]
N is for Nani
Hyundai has a fresh entry into the hot hatch segment but how exciting could a fast i30 possibly be?
5 things you can do with Lemons
As a tarty fruit, Lemons offer a wide variety offer sharpness and texture to baking, meals and drinks. However, this lovable yellow can also help you out of a rind (sorry bind), get rid of unwanted guests and more importantly, can make you a motorsport megastar. Become ageless Use a lemon to whip up […]
More in Focus – All-new Ford Focus review
Ford NZ – My first introduction to the all-new Ford Focus at the New Zealand launch a month or so ago most certainly left me wanting more, more time with it that is. Hatchbacks (in fact cars in general) have taken a backseat to SUVs and Utes so to be behind the wheel of a […]
Jeep Outlaw – Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk review
Just quietly, since watching Turbo channel’s ‘Street Outlaws’ I have grown rather partial to drag racing. Sure it looks pretty simple going quickly in a straight line and yes I admit that (generalising here), both the participants and spectators wouldn’t necessarily win and fashion show at Flemington or Aintree but it’s the rawness, ludicrous power […]
