WHILE NOT STRICTLY part of our brief, plenty of over-50s ride and use ATV (all-terrain vehicles) for pleasure or work. Following yet another fatality involving an ATV, the FCAI (Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries) has called for further initiatives by the government to improve their safe use. The FCAI was quick to praise the Coroner […]
ALFA ROMEO HAS ALWAYS had a romantic image, and it has been said that every driver should own an Alfa at least once in his/her life. This may well be the one (assuming the 4C is either out of your price range or simply too hard to get your hands on). Alfa Romeo Australia has […]
KIA MOTORS HAS ANNOUNCED that the name of its new global compact SUV is to be Seltos and it will be launched in the (northern hemisphere) summer. The name, according to Kia, is inspired by Greek mythology, picking up on the name Celtos, the son of Hercules. However, we don’t know why we’re telling you […]
IN WHAT IS SURE TO BE bad news for the multitudes of Jeep fans, the new Wrangler has scored a truly abysmal one ANCAP star in the latest ranking released by ANCAP today.

IT SEEMS NOTHING will stop the interest in classic cars, as proved yet again at the Shannons Late Autumn Classic Auction in Sydney on 20 May. There were some amazingly strong results and a clearance rate of a remarkable 90 percent. Black and white numerical number plates continue to defy gravity (and, to our mind, […]
… it’s called a “clutch”, children. THERE’S A WHOLE GENERATION that doesn’t understand the sensation of enhanced car control and greater driver involvement that comes with a manual gearbox. Fortunately, most of them probably couldn’t afford the new Aston Martin Vantage that has just been released. The Aston Martin Vantage AMR, as the company freely […]
IT’S FAIR TO SAY Lexus is probably better known in Australia for luxury models rather than performance models (after all, the LEXUS acronym was originally Luxury EXport to US). But a closer look at the Lexus performance range, plus the announcement of revisions and price cuts, might change that. In addition to a series of […]
“$100k for a Toyota sounds a bit rich to me. Is it worth the money? And what else should I consider for around the same money?” IT’S ALWAYS GOOD SENSE to see what your options are before committing to any car, so thank you for your enquiry. There’s no question that $100,000 is a lot […]
