CarsGuide team

The CarsGuide team of car experts is made up of a diverse array of journalists, with combined experience that well and truly exceeds a century. 

We live with the cars we test, weaving them into our family lives to highlight any strenghts and weaknesses to help you make the right choice when buying a new or used car. 

We also specialise in adventure to help you get off the beaten track and into the great outdoors, along with utes and commercial vehicles, performance cars and motorsport to cover all ends of the automotive spectrum. 

Tune in for our weekly podcast to get to know the personalities behind the team, or click on a byline to learn more about any of our authors.
