Psychic Civic – Honda Civic RS Sensing Review
With the current Civic RS already having received a bold new look and brand new attitude, Honda ‘thought’ they’d make it a little bit psychic too. We went along to check out the new Civic RS ‘Sensing’ and somehow they knew we were coming. We took a look at the 10th, yes 10th generation Honda […]
In the box SEAT – SEAT Tarraco review
Our first look at the SEAT Tarraco in New Zealand Globally, ‘Euro’ SUVs are forging ahead when it comes to the desirability charts, while a little closer to home, locally, New Zealand is positioned well ahead of the curve in both overall SUV ownership and those younger (sub 40-year olds) that buy them. It’s these […]
The Can can – 2019 Suzuki Jimny review
Bee’s, with their tiny wings and large bulbous bodies, are natures way of proving that virtually anything is possible. They fly when they shouldn’t visiting 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip and to me in many ways, the Suzuki Jimny is the same. It’s a tiny bean can of a vehicle that when […]
Next Generation Beautiful – all-new Mazda3 Review
The highly anticipated all-new 4th generation Mazda3 was unveiled at the 2018 LA Auto Show to a very receptive audience. Based on the Kai Concept car that I was lucky enough to have seen previously in Japan, the all-new Mazda3 is, according to Mazda, pioneering the next evolution of Mazda vehicles in terms of design, […]
The KIA Cerato goes forth – Kia Cerato review
The all-new Kia Cerato’s design (in part) hails from California while its suspension and handling, I’m reliably informed, have been influenced by a highly regarded European marque’s motorsport division – now having seen and then driven the GT version, I believe it all shows. With its first-generation leaving the Korean factory around 2003/4, the Kia […]
N is for Nani
Hyundai has a fresh entry into the hot hatch segment but how exciting could a fast i30 possibly be?
More in Focus – All-new Ford Focus review
Ford NZ – My first introduction to the all-new Ford Focus at the New Zealand launch a month or so ago most certainly left me wanting more, more time with it that is. Hatchbacks (in fact cars in general) have taken a backseat to SUVs and Utes so to be behind the wheel of a […]
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.
LeMon treat for Mother’s Day
With May 12th rushing towards us like a freight train, the annual ritual of what to buy the woman that has everything is rapidly moving into nightmare territory. While perfumes, flowers and chocolates are a reliable ‘goto’s’ they also underline that fact that you gave the person that brought you into this world and who […]
