Higher than the rest
With the new Mazda6 Takami, which in Japanese translates roughly as ‘Higher than the Rest’, it really is a case of the best made better. Available as saloon for $56,995 and now a wagon at $58,695, the Mazda6 Takami is the company’s flagship, and a very handsome one at that. From the […]
Packed with power
‘Muscle car’ may not be something you would expect to hear in a review of a Mercedes Benz, but that was the first thing that sprung to mind while testing the Mercedes C63 S Estate. The C63 model range is a bestseller, with the Estate teamed with a Saloon, […]
Audi Q3’s Makeover
The new Audi Q3 has been a long time coming. With the first gen debuting in 2011, it was a big success for the Ingolstadt company, with loyal customers lapping it up en masse. So, after eight years, one of Audi’s most popular models has finally received a makeover, but is this […]
The power of perfection
You could use any number of over-the-top action adjectives to describe the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. After 24 hours in our care, we can confirm the ZL1 is quite simply the most powerful, tyre-shredding devourer of blacktop you can buy for under $200,000, and thanks to HSV dealerships like Blackwells Holden, it […]
Bang for your buck
It is not every day we get to see a new Suzuki Jimny. In fact, if you look back far enough, we haven’t had a new pint-sized off-roader to carry the Jimny name for about 20 years. Now we have, and my word it is something really special. The term […]
A whole lot of grunt
Need a seven-seater family vehicle that can tow a caravan, boat or jet ski? The new Mercedes Benz GLE 300d is just the vehicle for you. I picked it up from Armstrong Prestige and I have to say, I was quite intimidated by the size of it. Its exterior has […]
Great things come in small packages
Is it possible to make one of the best small hatches better? Honda thinks so. Just check out the new Jazz. Visually we see a more pronounced nose and restyled LED headlights, but it still retains the iconic eggshell styling. The entry-level S comes in a 1.3 i-VTEC four pot […]
A stand-out drive
When reviewing a new car, it’s the details that make it stand out from the pack. Models are getting good at all-round driving ability. The Focus is no exception. Apple Car Play should be a standard in all vehicles now and the Focus’ sound is brilliant; I connected in less […]
Packing some punch
I asked Hemi Peek at Avon City Ford what he thought were the three top features of the Ford Endura Titanium; “A solid drive with a luxurious cabin, hands-free automatic power tailgate opening and easy interactive display”. Well he wasn’t wrong. The 2-litre turbo diesel is also packing some punch […]
A dynamic set
It’s all about class with Mercedes and, with two of the brand’s top-line models getting major improvements, it makes me wonder how far you can take it, especially when the starting point is an already dynamic set of cars – the AMG A45 and CLA 45. The CLA 45 is […]
