There’s more to the Evoque than meets the eye
The Range Rover Evoque is back and ready for anything on or off-road!
Rapid Head Movement – the Audi SQ2 Review
Audi’s hip, city-dwelling small SUV the Q2 arrived in a cool neighbourhood near you a couple of years ago and I personally first met it in downtown Wellington. Audi NZ had devised a bit of a scavenger hunt across the Capital that included historic landmarks, cool POIs and a visit to Weta studios (of Lord […]
Leaner, Meaner – Porsche Macan II review
The scent of Premium Alcantara/leather enlivens your senses the moment you step inside the new Porsche Macan SUV and it’s wunderbar. Despite only being launched into the automotive world around five years ago, the sporty Porsche Macan has certainly more than simply ingratiated itself into the performance marque’s family. Smaller than the Cayenne, larger than […]
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 […]
Get the balance right – Jaguar I-Pace review
It’s safe to say that on the whole, I’m not the biggest fan of SUVs or EVs. Call it, my lack of forward thinking, my aversion to change, age, love of fossil fuel, to be honest, the list goes on and I’m probably guilty on all counts. But, if a fine, upstanding, motorsport ingrained, prestigious, […]
A Bright, Green, Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Review.
Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Review New Zealand No, not its paintwork, although that might make this SUV even more interesting, I’m talking about its move towards caring for the environment and its highly advanced technology. Since Porsche burst onto the scene almost ninety years ago, the brand has virtually always been about premium performance. Cars that, […]
30 love – Jaguar F-Pace 30t Review
Jaguar F-Pace 30t Review New Zealand I have to admit, I don’t really get starstruck and certainly not when it comes to the latest plethora of ‘celebrities/influencers’ (aka people famous for doing what exactly?). However, I do hold the utmost respect for people that have worked hard to be at the top of their game […]
Peak interest – Bentley Bentayga
The Pikes Peak record holding Bentley Bentayga is in NZ to compete at the Leadfoot Festival – we decided to climb all over it. Climbing the mountain at Pikes Peak in a mere 10min 49.9s, this slightly lightened luxury W12 SUV certainly caused a stir. We wonder how it will handle Rod Millen’s driveway.
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. […]
‘Shotgun’ be gone – Hyundai Santa Fe review
Hyundai Santa Fe review New Zealand At virtually every indoor (or even outdoor stadium for that matter) event, albeit a concert, play, a big game or a smaller show there are those good, upfront, touching distance seats, followed by the rather average, middle of the road positions and then finally, there’s those way back at […]
