BMW’s DYNAMIC and desirable M240i Coupé has undergone a little price shaving and is now available for a more affordable $74,900 (plus on road costs). That’s a substantial saving on the $79,100 list price (last time we looked), and that was with less standard equipment. Deliveries for the M240i Coupé with this offer will commence […]
WHILE MOST PEOPLE think of the Ford Mustang in its V8 guise, there’s another model in the line-up that some people think is actually a better-balanced car. Yes, it’s the four-cylinder variant. And now a high performance 2.3-litre will join the range for 2020, offering a 236kW turbocharged engine, a new range of colours and […]
THE VENERABLE BUT still highly desirable Porsche 911 gets a new addition to the range with the arrival of the 911 Carrera Coupe and 911 Carrera Cabriolet, the new “entry level” models in the line-up.

As you would expect, uncovering the extent of snooping by authorities and insurance companies into the driving habits of ordinary people is almost impossible. Vehicles manufactured since 1996 carry […]
Pets have become part of the family, so when you travel by car, often they will too. Here’s how to travel with pets, safe for them, safe for you. IT PROBABLY ISN’T SOMETHING top of mind when you’re buying a new car, but family pets will occasionally, or often, be travelling with you, so it’s […]
AS WITH ANY piece of equipment, there are guidelines on how radar and speed cameras should be used. However, these guidelines are being ignored, and motorists are being unfairly (and possibly illegally) penalised as a result. We are indebted to Aussie Speeding Fines (follow link here) for the following information, culled from operator and training […]
Despite the cavalier way we approach it, driving a motor vehicle is probably the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis. THINGS ARE definitely improving, with the number of fatalities steadily falling across the country (although there has been a worrying and hopefully atypical upward trend in some states this year), but this […]
MOST CAR REVIEWS blather on about all the wonderful new technology that’s fitted to the latest model, but talk to owners and you quickly learn that a lot of the so-called features are superfluous to their needs.
