Volkswagen has just launched an upmarket alternative to its bread-and-butter Caddy offering, in the form of the Urban Edition. Limited to 70 units, the $36,990 (drive-away) Caddy Urban Edition brings with it some tech and styling that’s aimed squarely at inner-city small-to-medium enterprises...
During part one of our trip to Tasmania's wild west with Isuzu and its I-Venture Club, we discovered some of the more picturesque parts of the Apple Isle and learned a little about local history. The next two days would take no prisoners, however. We were to air down and explore the Henty Dunes, and get a little crossed up on the loose sand...

Now, courtesy of Isuzu and its increasingly popular I-Venture Club, I’ve seen what may be, the most picturesque part of the gem that lies just south of the mainland...

There are other ways to educate yourself, but I find this a crucial early step in the process. We don’t bat an eyelid at seeking advice on a pain we’re feeling...
I’m of the belief that car sounds are very important. That could mean a lack of sound, too, depending what it is.
