5 Things I learnt from doing Targa Tour NZ
Targa New Zealand is the planet’s Ultimate Road Race and (thanks to Toyota NZ) I had the opportunity to take part in this year’s 25th anniversary. According to the Targa press, ‘you will either be touring or racing for the entire day, with just a few brief moments to catch your breath before the start […]
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. […]
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 […]
Amarok’s Edition Addition – Edition R review
Volkswagen Amarok Edition R Review New Zealand. With 1.3billion of the world’s population people speaking Chinese, it’s by far the globe’s most spoken language, however, English (spoken by a mere 379 million) spreads its voice to 137 countries making it arguably the most popular. It’s a complex language, filled with spelling, homonyms and punctuation discrepancies. […]
Evocotive Evoque – 2019 Range Rover Evoque Review
The Evoque is the 4.4m long baby or is that ‘darling’, of the Range Rover/Land Rover line up. When it first launched around 2010/11 it introduced a lot of ‘Posh’ to the sub-compact SUV market, so much so that Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice herself) claimed to have a big hand in designing one of its […]
4Motion Devotion – A VW 4Motion Experience
Volkswagen invited us to the snow-capped mountain peaks of Queenstown and a racetrack in Cromwell to ‘get to grips’ with their 4MOTION All-wheel drive system and tell us why it’s so important to the brand. Although the 4Motion itself actually only appeared by name in 1999, Volkswagen has been involved with AWD systems as far […]
Viva Vitara – 2019 Suzuki Vitara review
It’s been over thirty years since the first Suzuki Vitara sprung to life in the crossover SUV market and boy do I now feel old. I remember it as a two-door ‘holiday’ convertible that felt synonymous with sun, fun and lively upbeat pop music – sigh. Anyway, four generations later (the Vitara not me), the […]
New Toyota Supra First Drive Review New Zealand
A rain-soaked and water-pooled race track was not the way we really wanted to experience the much-anticipated NZ launch of the fifth-generation Toyota Supra but alas thanks to Auckland’s inclement winter weather, that’s exactly what we had to deal with. Launched in 1978 under the Celica nameplate (before receiving its own identity in 1986), the […]
All the small things – RAM 1500 Laramie review.
Ok, so having the 5.82m Long, 2.02m wide and 1.92m tall RAM truck and ‘small’ the in the same title may seem rather ludicrous, however, it is, in fact, all the small things this big ute does that really make the difference. Let me begin by getting all the nitty-gritty’s out of the way. Built […]
