2011 Audi A1 Review

Aussie men will no longer have to put their reputation on the line when they get into an Audi A1. Unlike previous Audi models, which were often considered more feminine, the A1 goes to the extreme, offering a wide range of personalisation options to suit a wider market. There’s a wide range of colours and [...]

2011 Audi A1 Review

AUDI A1 REVIEW When looking to the German automaker, Audi, the connotations of class and quality are inevitably called to mind, particularly pertaining to the compact segment. Aptly, Audi’s newest mini rival, the A1, conforms to this presumed notion, delivering agility, quality, and a fun ride. Albeit the A1 is not without its flaws, it [...]

2010 Audi S8

2009 Q7 Review

Audi is an automotive brand known for setting impeccable standards of quality. The 2010 Audi Q7 remains true to its genes, ingeniously combining its strong stance, fine build quality and sophisticated technology. This premium luxury vehicle delivers everything (and more) you would expect from a German-engineered large crossover, whilst resonating a balance of sophistication and [...]

2010 Audi TT

Until recently, the idea that a sports car could ran on diesel would have been laughed out of the R&D department. No longer does this automotive apartheid exist. Turbocharged diesel injection (TDI) has totally transformed the vehicle market. For the most part, people are starting to understand that a diesel performance car does not drive [...]
