Since 2010 the SUV market has grown exponentially at the expense of normal sedans and hatchbacks.
We have been at the forefront of the growth, reviewing the vehicles on a fit for purpose basis, so you can make educated buying decisions.
The market is broad ranging from urban 2WD and AWD SUVS through to the large dual range 4WDs that are fast becoming a memory.
Family wagons, small and medium SUVs all are popular with buyers now and we are the best at reviewing them for you.
Toyota’s indestructible Landcruiser 76 Series Workmate Wagon is one of the few 4WD’s that I would confidently drive from the showroom to the centre of Australia. However if I was to try and use this as my daily commuter then I think I would go a bit crazy. [Read More]
Toyota’s Kluger ticks almost all the boxes for a family AWD SUV. It’s almost as if they were reading the minds of buyers over the years. The Grande is the top of the range. What impresses most about the Kluger Grande is the feeling of space inside. You literally have to get out and check that it is a mid size SUV. [Read More]
The Mercedes Benz GL 350CDi BlueEFFICIENCY Luxury is somewhat of a dark horse in the luxury 4WD SUV market. It is unbelievably capable but rarely sees more dirt than the dusty driveway at the country property. Some of its compatriots may be better in some areas but I don’t believe any have a better overall balance.

The new Mitsubishi Outlander Aspire overall is a significant improvement over the model it replaces, being more fuel efficient, better CO2 figures, more safety features and better 3rd row seats. In a market segment that is becoming more competitive every day any model has its hands full. [Read More]
Since its launch demand for Toyota’s FJ Cruiser has exceeded expectations. This is probably because the FJ Cruiser is not only a revelation in its looks but it is extremely capable off road as well. The FJ Cruiser is powered by a 4.0L V6 5 Speed drivetrain with a dual transfer case. [Read More]
With the updates in March 2011 the Škoda Octavia Scout retains all the positive qualities that makes it a favourite. These are AWD ability and safety, an absolutely huge boot space with versatility, a powerful but economical 2.0L TDi motor mated to a 6 speed manual and enough features to keep most people satisfied.

The Toyota Landcruiser Sahara is a very capable vehicle on and off road. You can easily fit an extended family in; load it up for that dream adventure into the wilderness or potter around town. There are more genuine accessories as well as aftermarket than you can poke a stick at and it will tow nearly every caravan/camper or trailer available on the market with ease. [Read More]
Compact externally but roomy internally, well-equipped, CRD engine, dual-range transmission, real 4WD ability – the Suzuki Grand Vitara DDiS has it pretty well covered if you want a no-nonsense small 4WD with some creature comforts but don’t need a full-size 4WD to get off the beaten track.

Mitsubishi revolutionised the 4WD market some 10 years ago, with a large 4WD that actually had road manners. Time has moved on and the latest model of the Pajero is now getting long in the tooth but still remains an exceptionally competent 4WD with good handling and dynamics and excellent value [Read More]
The Volvo XC60 D5 Teknik I had the pleasure of driving is a classy AWD Vehicle. Driving it for the first time I was surprised at the ride height of the vehicle (it stands at 1713mm in height) and how comfortable it was. The Volvo XC60 includes traditional Volvo safety features. [Read More]
