Built to XEeed – New Jaguar XE P300 Review
Funny thing about review vehicles is personal perception. I personally prefer not to know too much about the vehicle I am testing prior to getting behind the wheel, I want to garner my own first impressions rather than being swayed by another. Most of the time this works well for me, however, with the new […]
BMW’s Lap of luxury
It’s always a plus when your BMW media invite begins with ‘Meet at Mechanics bay.’ This location generally means a Helicopter ride to an event that will undoubtedly be something rather special. In this case, I was correct with the event but thanks to the weather gods not playing ball, incorrect with the chopper. Still […]
Mazda3 Review – Phhview
Hand on heart, I can safely say that car launches are an amazing experience. Most Car companies go to great lengths to organise events that offer idyllic surroundings that match the vehicle they are introducing. Racetracks for Sportscars, off-road adventures for more utilitarian vehicles, I think you get the point. Earlier this year, Mazda took […]
Hyundai i30 N-Line Review – Very few degrees of separation
It’s long since been highlighted that we (the collective we) are all connected to each other by just six degrees of social steps, or less.

Toyota Rav4 range review – The 8 sided polygon
As you smart people are already aware, a polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain or polygonal circuit (according to what I looked up) and the all-new Rav4 comes loaded with them. From the grille to the tail, inside […]
Volkswagen eGolf Review – Well above Par
To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when Volkswagen NZ offered me the chance to review the eGolf. I have been a long-standing fan of the Golf, especially the ‘hotter’ versions, so let’s just say I was a little reserved when handed the keys to something (that in my mind) had more fairway […]
Hot Holden lunch date with the Commodore VXR and friends.
The Holden invite said, ‘Join us at Pukekohe racetrack for a light lunch followed by hot laps in the Commodore VXR with Greg Murphy and Tom Alexander, Plus a meet and greet with Jamie Whincup.’ It was an action-packed event but if I’m honest, they had me at free lunch! For those that are unaware, […]
