2023 Volvo V60 Summary

There’s something about a Volvo wagon. Especially one with Cross Country in its name. City sophistication mixed with the potential for adventurous outdoor pursuits. 

Leaning into its all-wheel-drive capability for a cheeky ski weekend with the family. Hooking up the boat and heading to the lake for a spot of fishing. Or seeking out that off-the-beaten-track camping spot you’ve had your eye on.

The V60 Cross Country is made for that family-focused role. Okay, so the Clearys didn’t do much skiing, fishing or camping during a week with this premium mid-sizer. None, actually.

But we did assess its comfort, flexibility, practicality and everything else required to help grease the wheels of day-to-day household life. Stay tuned to see what we discovered.

2021 Audi RS4 Summary

Station wagons might have fallen out of favour in Australia over the past 10 years or so, with their market share gobbled up by SUVs, but if anything can lure buyers back it will be vehicles like the Audi RS4 Avant. 

The speed of a genuine performance car, the space of a family wagon, and, in our opinion, stunning looks. What more could you want?

The question, though, is does this updated-for-2021 version still deliver on its dual promises of practicality and performance? Let's find out.
