2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

By Mike Costello 20th Jun 2018 41 Comments

The updated Mercedes-Benz C-Class range arrives en masse in Australia during August. It's more than a nip/tuck, with most of the additions found under the skin. They keep this generation of Australia's favourite luxury car sharp, as it enters the second half of its model cycle.

2018 Mercedes-AMG C43 review

By Mike Costello 20th Jun 2018 14 Comments

The Mercedes-AMG C43 range is the better-known C63's grippier, less manic sibling. The updated versions have a more powerful twin-turbo V6, slick new cabin tech and more, to keep the Audi S4/S5 range on its toes.

2018 Subaru Levorg 2.0 GT-S long-termer: Introduction

By Mike Costello 18th Jun 2018 45 Comments

The Subaru Levorg has always struck me as a car with a bit of an identity crisis. Is it a WRX wagon with another name? A luxury estate with a proudly mainstream badge? Neither, really.

2018 Mercedes-AMG S63L review

By Kez Casey 16th Jun 2018 18 Comments

With a confident swagger, subtle muscularity, and a thumping twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, the Mercedes-AMG S63L makes for a surprisingly fitting flagship for the brand, encompassing the best of luxury and performance in one formidable package.

No Golf GTI manual: Is this the beginning of the end?
