Ford Ranger Wolftrak Review – Hungry like the Wolf
Forgive the Duran Duran headline, but I liked the band, the tune and enjoyed the Ranger version too. The Ford Ranger Wolftrak occupies an interesting sweet spot in the market. It doesn’t have the outright swagger of the Raptor, the luxury aspirations of the Platinum, or the orange-trimmed bling of the Wildtrak V6. Instead, this […]
BYD Atto 3 Evo – It’s Spicy and it’s Coming to NZ
Remember when electric cars were all about compromise? Well, BYD’s just thrown that rule book out the window. The all-new Atto 3 Evo has landed in New Zealand, and it’s bringing a whole lot more than just better battery range to the party. After dominating the Kiwi EV market with over 7,000 units of the […]
The Nissan X-Trail was the perfect tool for my Trail Run
There’s a point in every car loan where the novelty wears off. The obvious features have been explored, eventually you stop thinking about the car altogether, and you just use it. That’s more or less what happened with the Nissan X-Trail e-POWER over the weekend, when a planned trip to Rotorua turned into around 600km […]

Ford Everest Wildtrak Review – Big, Bold and Bright Orange
There are some cars that try desperately hard to convince you they’re adventurous. They have plastic cladding, chunky-looking tyres and enough black trim to make a coal mine look underdressed. Then there’s the Ford Everest Wildtrak. It doesn’t really need to shout about its capabilities, it looks like it could happily spend Monday morning dropping […]

When you’re chasing the automotive holy grail (that sweet spot where cutting-edge technology meets timeless luxury) there’s really only one nameplate that consistently delivers, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

An i4 Detail – 2026 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe Review
The BMW i4 has been with us for a wee while now. I can remember first testing one back in 2024, and this was around the time the news broke about the New Zealand Police using them as pursuit vehicles. Now the i4 is up for a refresh by way of a stylistic nip and […]

Today’s Cardle served up one of Japan’s most beloved rear-wheel-drive coupes — and it made us work for every pixel.
Singer Reimagined Heritage V72 – Restoration Meets Mechanical Mastery
When you think of watchmaking, you probably imagine Swiss craftsmen hunched over delicate mechanisms, sweat beading on their foreheads as they wrestle with impossibly small components. Singer Reimagined’s new Heritage V72 doesn’t break that image, it celebrates it. But here’s the twist: this isn’t some retro pastiche designed to look old, it’s a full-blooded restoration […]
