May The 4 Be With You – MG4 Electric Review
The term “bang for your buck” is a cliché which seems to pop up now again when it comes to consumer goods. I will admit I have used it in the past when describing a car which has so much meat on the bone when compared what you pay for it. While it is an […]
Surf’s Up – BYD Dolphin Extended Review
If there is one brand which has made an impact within a short space of time in New Zealand, it has to be BYD. Its first flirtation with our local market was the ATTO 3, a car which gained a firm foothold the flourishing EV sector. The result was BYD couldn’t get them in quick […]
Better Late Than Never – Toyota GR Supra Manual Review
You know when something is good, but you can’t help but think it lacks something that will make it even better? Maybe that curry needed just a few extra chilis, or that G n T required a twist of lime to make it perfect? When Toyota launched the GR Supra, we all thought it was […]
We’re past Base Camp – Ford Everest Wildtrak review
I live in a house with a very narrow driveway that is not the most friendly to long or wide cars. So, after having a roster of cars that fit one or two of these categories, I thought the next one up would be an exception to that rule. I was quickly shown otherwise when […]
GR8 Expectations – Toyota GR86 Review

The new, all-electric MG4 is a blinder – MG MG4 review
Awright geezers n geezesses, forgive the intro but today I’m leveraging my British roots just like the brand behind the EV I’m reviewing. MG is as British as fish and chips and the new MG4 is just as tasty. Originally launched in 1924, MG became a stalwart of the UK car scene, offering affordable sports […]

Audi Q4 e-tron first drive NZ
With a new GM at the helm (actually a returning familiar face), Audi New Zealand are on a mission, and as Greg Leet says, it begins with what’s different – and that’s him. “I’m back home,” he declared with a look of glee on his face. I spent four years as National Sales Manager for […]
Zero Emission Hero
New Zealand’s (now) very own Wojtek Czyz is making waves, and not just in the world of para badminton. No stranger to global fame having won no less than four Paralympic Gold Medals over the years, he’s just been highlighted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) Action Goals initiative, as a champion […]
