Landcruiser 76 Series Wagon Workmate Review
Toyota’s indestructible Landcruiser 76 Series Workmate Wagon is one of the few 4WD’s that I would confidently drive from the showroom to the centre of Australia. However if I was to try and use this as my daily commuter then I think I would go a bit crazy. [Read More]

Toyota Kluger Grande Review
Toyota’s Kluger ticks almost all the boxes for a family AWD SUV. It’s almost as if they were reading the minds of buyers over the years. The Grande is the top of the range. What impresses most about the Kluger Grande is the feeling of space inside. You literally have to get out and check that it is a mid size SUV. [Read More]

Mercedes Benz GL 350 CDi BlueEFFICIENCY Luxury Review
The Mercedes Benz GL 350CDi BlueEFFICIENCY Luxury is somewhat of a dark horse in the luxury 4WD SUV market. It is unbelievably capable but rarely sees more dirt than the dusty driveway at the country property. Some of its compatriots may be better in some areas but I don’t believe any have a better overall balance.

Škoda Octavia Scout 4X4 6 Sp Manual Review
With the updates in March 2011 the Škoda Octavia Scout retains all the positive qualities that makes it a favourite. These are AWD ability and safety, an absolutely huge boot space with versatility, a powerful but economical 2.0L TDi motor mated to a 6 speed manual and enough features to keep most people satisfied.

Toyota Landcruiser Sahara TD Review
The Toyota Landcruiser Sahara is a very capable vehicle on and off road. You can easily fit an extended family in; load it up for that dream adventure into the wilderness or potter around town. There are more genuine accessories as well as aftermarket than you can poke a stick at and it will tow nearly every caravan/camper or trailer available on the market with ease. [Read More]

Suzuki Grand Vitara DDiS Review
Compact externally but roomy internally, well-equipped, CRD engine, dual-range transmission, real 4WD ability – the Suzuki Grand Vitara DDiS has it pretty well covered if you want a no-nonsense small 4WD with some creature comforts but don’t need a full-size 4WD to get off the beaten track.
