BMW X4 xDrive30d AWD SUV Review

Remember that while the X4xDrive30d is technically an AWD SUV, it definitely isn’t designed for virtually any sort of off road driving. That will promote a lot of argument amongst readers I am guessing. It is ideally suited to trips to the snow with icy roads, trips to the holiday house or farm [Read More]

2016 Mitsubishi Triton Single Cab GLX 2WD Trayback Ute Final Long Term Test review

The 2016 Mitsubishi Triton Single Cab GLX 2WD Trayback Ute has been the superstar in our renovation. We would have struggled to do it without. I think I have sold about three similar Utes to trade people turning up to do quotes. Unfortunately the good people at Mitsubishi actually wanted their Ute back [Read More]

Kia Sorento 2WD 3.3L V6 SLI Review

The Kia Sorrento has all the ingredients for a great family SUV. It has good styling and presence, high seating position, plenty of room for a family and gear, seven seats for those soccer runs and after school runs and lots of features for driver and passengers. [Read More]

Jeep Wrangler X Limited Edition Review

The jeep Wrangler has been a favourite here for quite some time, one of those vehicles that exude a degree of “çool” as well as practical off road ability. So when the opportunity came along to test the Limited Edition X version, named after the X Games extreme sport athletes, we jumped at the chance. [Read More]

2015 Ford Ranger Update Review

So the 2015 Ranger has improvements to the interior ambience, more SUV refinement, higher prices (they were always expensive), more safety features but no reach adjustment for the steering wheel and the flawed commercial decision not to include the lifesaving reversing cameras as standard.

Mitsubishi Triton 2WD Cab Chassis Trayback Ute Review

We have for a few weeks the GLX single cab 5th generation 2WD Triton tray back ute to test. Launched earlier this year the often overlooked the 2WD versions provide invaluable capacity for trades people, rural and mine uses. The world of work and recreational utes is highly competitive and an important part of the Australian new car vehicle market with over 200,000 sold last year. [Read More]

2015 Mitsubishi GLS Pajero Review

Back in the early 2000’s Mitsubishi revolutionised the 4WD market with a large 4WD that actually had road manners. The issue is that apart from improvements along the way the Pajero you buy today is essentially at the core the same as that first vehicle. It still has excellent on road handling for its size and more than competent off road ability, [Read More]

Peugeot 308 GT Diesel Review

I am a big believer that first impressions always count and Peugeot makes a bold one. There is no mistaking a Peugeot for anything else and its distinctively French DNA is ever-present in the new 308. The 308 GT comes in two drivetrain options – the manual 1.6L turbo petrol or an automatic 2.0L turbo diesel – the latter being our test vehicle for the week. [Read More]
