Armchair Review - Unique PeopleMovers
If i were in a position where i needed something with 6+ seats, it would honestly be both difficult and downright stupid to overlook some of the MPV options available to buyers in the 2011. With the shift to SUV’s, ‘vans’ as they were once called have become a less popular choice, but still offer loads in the form of safety, comfort and drivability. There’s also a few...
2011 Kia Rio
Just can’t believe my eyes! The Rio was once an abysmal small wagon-style hatchback bought by bogans on a budget with a large lack of safety items and sold purely on dollar value. Thank god for Peter Schreyer (Kia’s design leader) as he is totally transforming everything from the line-up into desireable entrants in their respectable classes! Due for release mid-year, hopefully...

2011; Current loves in the Automotive World
2011 Kia Optima Platinum
IN LOVE with the new force from Korean stalwart Hyundai/Kia. The new Optima shits on pretty much everything in the midsize class (including beloved Mazda6). There’s no way i’d take anything over it. Gorgeously sculpted and and looks $100k more expensive than it is. At $37,990RRP it is an absolute bargain. Especially due to the level of equipment -...

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Jolting forward in leaps and bounds, the 2011 Grand Cherokee has been sculpted into a stunning, clean and fuss-free design that looks entirely ageless. Theres no huge flanks, overinflated wheel arches and huge headlights like those on the Dodge Nitro etc etc. The Grandy in essence is similar to the new Toureg in its execution of parralel pannel lines etc. Hopefully...

Cars of the Week
2010 Suzuki Kizashi
A sign of good things coming, the new Kizashi is a remarked move for Suzuki. Although the final styling execution has been criticised for being too conservative on the basis of the concept, i think it looks BRILLIANT. The fluid lines, arch-filling alloy wheels and striking colour-choices make it a potential winner in the medium-class segment. Reviews are raving about its...

Korea's new flock
2011 Hyundai Elantra
RIDICULOUSLY handsome, refined, modern and captivating, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra exudes class and will no doubt change the small-mid car class. Although the lines are somewhat similar to those of some competitors (with the coupe-like roof slope and pointed fascia), the car looks remarkably upper-class and will woo the market like no Hyundai before. So far we know that the...

Cars of the Week - 20/4/2010
BMW X1
The BMW X1 has recently been released onto the world stage. And i think it will no doubt; change the way in which soft-roaders will be perceived. I’ve yet to see one in real life, but in pictures it looks larger than the likes of Volkswagen’s Tiguan. However, the RAV4 sized compact ‘SAV’ as BMW are calling it, packs loads of potential. The most surprising and...

UPDATED Mazda 2; Fiesta beware.
Ford, eat your heart out.
The updated Mazda 2 will address the majority of the issues that it faced against the Fiesta; a higher quality interior, more equipment and commands attention on the road. Although people may not love Mazda’s happy-chap design language, the all new Mazda 2 is perfectly befitted with a smug snout.
The updated interior looks spectacular, filling in the magazine...

March Update
Mazda 6 GH Update
So the Mazda6 has been updated to align with Mazda’s current range of athletic-design of car. For some reason, i can see OPEL in the design? Like the front of the latest Astra… but it could just be me. The improvements sound promising though! More equipment and refinement are always positives!

Hyundai IX35 Elite

Large Cars - Most Recommended
Moving up in the world, in engine sizes and general comfort, large cars have long been family favourites in Australia. They offer effortless cruising for long distance driving and plenty of space for all the gear that goes along for the ride. Decreasing in popularity due to an increased trend to downsize due to the price of petrol, and the fact that small-medium cars now offer more bang for your...

Small Cars - Most Recommended
Budget of around $25k? Stablility control MUST be an option at a minimum, style, modernity and all-around competence for daily driving are the main factors in the small-car segment. Purchased by ALL types of consumers and now the most popular class of vehicle in Australia.

An obvious bias for Mazdas, but they simply can not be beaten for value, style, reliability and...

Most Recommended - Light Car Segment
I haven’t blogged in a while, so i thought it’s time to share some more automotive information and make lists of the top cars on anyone’s Brand NEW car shopping list.
Firstly, LIGHT CARS - <$20,000 - perfect first cars or last cars, cheap on the hip-pocket but still fun to drive with plenty of safety features.

TOP 5 Cars to look forward to in 2010
Up-and-coming releases on the Australian market that please the eye, the pocket or the nerd inside.
2010 Volkswagen Polo
Available with a huge range of engines for the global market, the 2010 Polo has very similar to the Golf, just less rounded, more edgy. It’s definately the hottest compact car of 2010 and will be far more appealing than the bland; current Polo. I look forward to the...

Top 9 of 2009
So the true standouts of the 2009 Automotive calendar. There’s clearly a heavy bias towards small-medium cars, because that’s the genre i am most interested in, but there is a few other notable entrants that caught my attention.
In no particular order:
1. MAZDA 3
An absolute overall winner in the small-medium class. Most of the grades (Neo, Maxx Sport and SP25) represent...

false start.
I’ve had possibly the worst start to a NEW year, this week.
It began with a New Years Day-Eve bug that left me sleeping on the bathroom floor, forbidden from food consumption and attending work; for that 24 hour period.
Once the mystery illness migrated to another body, life in 2010 began. Whilst house-sitting in a beautiful estate not far from home, the world-wide-web was out of reach and...

2010, good evening.
Welcome to 2010, tumblr.
New Years Eve wasn’t so much a magical night; but it went to show that good company + outdoors = a great time. We spent much of the night under the stars, admiring the unmarked FG Falcon XT police car navigating the streets at far above the posted speed limit, the drunken jolly neighbors trying to communicate with an anxious cab driver, and of course the...
