All the small things – BMW X5 xDrive 30d Review
BMW X5 xDrive 30d Review New Zealand With the new BMW X5 dimensions sitting around the 5mx2m mark, having ‘small things’ in the headline could obviously be deemed an oxymoron. However, it’s the little things that this big SUV does, that makes it such a big improvement – are you still with me? Since its […]
The ‘Alps a’ Romeo – Alfa Romeo Stelvio Review
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Review New Zealand The Alps are the largest and most expansive mountain range in Europe. From Slovenia to France, they span 1,200km and eight Alpine regions, they include around one-hundred peaks 4,000 metres and lay claim to both the Matterhorn and the 4,800 metre Mont Blanc that straddles the French Italian border. […]
VW’s new white-hot, hatch – Volkswagen Polo GTI review
Volkswagen Polo GTI Review New Zealand Most car people at some point in their driving career will have a GTI in their garage (or at least, been behind the wheel of one). Mine happened to be a Golf Mk 2 16v back in the 80’s and it has remained one of the stand out vehicles […]
BMW X3 M-Phwoarty-d – BMW X3 M40d Review
BMW X3 M40d Review New Zealand Although it cannot be assigned to just one person (apparently it’s a bit of a mish-mash of several engineers over a period of time), since the Diesel engine bears the name of Rudolf Diesel (the man that first came up with the concept of ‘ignition by compression’ in 1892), we’ll use […]

Diesel do just nicely – Holden diesel review
Holden Diesel Review New Zealand Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ll have noticed that the face of Holden has changed somewhat. The car brand’s ‘Westieness’ has given way to a more global visage. It’s a mind shift that hasn’t pleased everyone but by dipping into their overseas […]
Warning Signs – Jaguar XE 300 Sport review
Jaguar XE 300 Sport review New Zealand In the animal kingdom, colouration is usually an honest indication of the species noxiousness or intent. Dull camouflage greens or pastel hues are a hint towards the submissive while brighter more intense colours are a clear sign to beware with yellow setting off a warning siren for all […]
A taste of Italy – Alfa Romeo Giulietta review
Alfa Romeo Giulietta review New Zealand When I picture Italy, I am consumed with images of endless summer days. An arid dusty countryside that extends out to the bright blue waters of the Mediterranean that surrounds it. Quaint little towns with narrow cobblestoned streets. Close-knit families sharing bottles of Chianti and dipping warm fragrant garlic […]
