2018 Kia Picanto S Review

March 14, 2018 Peter Barnwell

2018 Suzuki Swift Sport Review

2018 Jaguar XE S Review

February 22, 2018 Peter Barnwell

2018 Hyundai Sonata Video Review

February 21, 2018 Peter Barnwell

The mid-size car market is flushed with quality offerings, think Skoda Octavia, Ford Mondeo, Toyota Camry and Hyundai’s entrant – the Sonata. The Sonata nameplate made a return to Australia in 2015 replacing previous attempts […]

2018 Hyundai Sonata Active Review

February 20, 2018 Peter Barnwell

Getting punters to revisit the medium size sedan segment is problematic for carmakers in the face of an avalanche of similar-sized and priced SUVs. But the sedan format does have merit especially if you don’t […]

2018 Nissan Qashqai Video Review

February 12, 2018 Peter Barnwell

Nissan’s Qashqai is now a full fledged urban SUV with no off-road capability at all. It’s a small front wheel drive wagon on stilts but that doesn’t detract from the fact that the little, Pommie-built […]
