By David Morley · 05 Aug 2022

Audi has already shown us the new A3 and S3. But if you've been waiting for the ultimate performance version of the platform, that wait is over as the RS3 enters showrooms. The RS3 has always been fast and grippy, but this time, it's also showing a brutal side that is pure muscle.

Kia Stinger 2022 review: 330S

By Emily Agar · 02 Aug 2022

The Kia Stinger has only been around since 2017 but it's made an impact in the heavy-hitting sportback market for good reason. Australians have a strong history with high octane sedans.

BMW M4 2022 review: Convertible

By Byron Mathioudakis · 15 Mar 2022

BMW has finally sorted out the M4, even in the hedonistic and yet still ballistic Competition Convertible.
