The jeep Wrangler has been a favourite here for quite some time, one of those vehicles that exude a degree of “çool” as well as practical off road ability. So when the opportunity came along to test the Limited Edition X version, named after the X Games extreme sport athletes, we jumped at the chance. Unfortunately the review slipped through the cracks. What is the saying.. better late than never.. […]
The Dual Cab 4X4 diesel Ute market for recreational buyers is hotly contested. There is the big 4 with the Colorado, Mazda BT50, Isuzu d-Max, and Ranger, Mitsubishi stirred the pot with the launch of the exceptionally capable Triton earlier this year and Nissan has launched the all new Navara. Toyota Hilux and BT50 are due before the end of the year […]
The other thing that was very noticeable was that the Triton felt small in the streets of Melbourne. It felt nimble with the tight turning circle and while it is after all a bug Ute, it never felt like it was awkward or inconvenient. Even when pulling to the left of the intersection and turning right on the red light. Only in Melbourne!!! […]
The Subaru Forester has long been a favourite here at OzRoamer with its boxer engines, Symmetrical AWD capability and Subaru quality and innovation. Externally the style could be described as conservative meets practicality. The midsized AWD SUV maintains sleek lines without resorting to the sloped and tiny rear windows. […]
When Mitsubishi Motors launched a new Outlander a few years ago they almost completely missed the mark. However the new 2016 Outlander has substantial mid-life changes, marking improvements in design, refinement and overall driver engagement. […]
The NX 200t (t is for turbocharged) comes in an extensive 4 spec range, however, here at OzRoamer we like the best of the best, so I am glad we got to test the top of the range AWD Sports Luxury. As the name suggests, Lexus has created an effortless blend of sporty performance and design with luxurious features. […]
Back in the early 2000’s Mitsubishi revolutionised the 4WD market with a large 4WD that actually had road manners. The Pajero GLS we are testing here retains the stylish external shape and has some features that enhance that style such as 12 spoke 18-inch alloys, front fog lamps, roof rails, high intensity dusk sensing headlights etc. […]
Lexus launched an all new SUV late last year. The NX 300h Sports Luxury we are testing here today and two other models. It’s not like this is an untested market for Lexus with the RX series being relatively successful for them and the RX 450h almost providing a good argument for hybrid engines.

Kia have taken the opportunity to redesign the third generation Sorento. KIA now offer their 7 year unlimited km warranty, 7yr capped price servicing and 7yr roadside assist which is a big statement on how confident they are with their engineering. […]
The New 2015 Subaru Outback is a significant improvement over the previous model in style and sophistication. The Outback is one of those vehicles that grows on you the more you drive it. This is because the subtle luxuries and safety features are not intrusive but become apparent as time progresses […]
