Audi SQ8 review – Audi’s 900Nm coup
The Audi Q8 is a Coupe styled grand SUV that showcases much of what ‘8’ means to the 4-ring brand. Much like the A8, it offers upper-class luxury and state of the art technology, all while allowing plenty of room for passengers and luggage to enjoy their own ‘personal space’. However, in my humble opinion, […]
Blue Screen – 2020 SEAT Ateca FR review
Ask anyone with even the slightest hint of computer literacy what a blue screen means to them and they’ll shudder as they regale tales of lost work and endless hours of frustration – not so when it comes to Spanish automaker giant SEAT. Oh no, SEAT has added these two infamous words into their 2020 […]
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera – An Iconic Britalian.
Mini Clubman JCW review – Mini and Mighty
The motoring public’s love of Mini literally began the moment it was unveiled by BMC in 1959. A darling of the 60s, the tiny yet ‘oh so practical’ car came at a time when fuel prices were high and skirts were short. It was an instant family favourite and most, if not all of us […]
5th Generation SEAT Ibiza – Small car, big personality
The Ibiza ‘supermini’ is Spanish car giant SEAT’s biggest selling vehicle. In fact, since its initial launch way back in 1984, SEAT has sold nigh-on 5.5million units of this model globally and yet, here in NZ both the brand and the small car itself, have yet to gain the full recognition they deserve. We thought […]
Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 Review – CL-Yay!
I’m sure it comes as very little surprise when I say that engines have progressed a lot since I first got behind the wheel of a car, BUT, aside from the new Mercedes-Benz CLA200’s design, technology, handling and mammoth bootspace, the thing that really had me flummoxed (in a good way) was its 1.3L motor. […]
N is for Nani
Hyundai has a fresh entry into the hot hatch segment but how exciting could a fast i30 possibly be?
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 […]
The Porsche Difference
The Porsche Cayenne has had it’s fair share of doubters but this new model is the one to prove them wrong.
Twice as nice – BMW X2 M35i xDrive Review
BMW’s ‘sub compact SUV’ the X2 was added the marque’s ever-increasing range at the tail end of 2017 and subsequently joined us here in NZ early the following year. Displaying the brand’s new styling cues but also featuring a ‘C’ pillar BMW badge that nods back to the CSL of the 70’s, it was heralded […]
