Say hello to the awesome little Opel Corsa e. A great pocket rocket so nippy and agile you could almost call it a hot hatch!
Aside from a lack of storage space in the back seat area this orange hatchback is nearly impossible to fault.

A smooth ride, power, and economy is what you will experience with the C5 Aircross PHEV from Citroen. A great little SUV offering excellent economy, all the bells and whistles you’d expect form a modern European car, typical French quirky-ness and did I mention excellent economy?

Welcome to the funky ‘SUV’ (or overgrown hatchback as I like to call them) the Opel Mokka-e. A great little run-a-bout that will save your wallet many dollars (and the environment too, apparently).
This great little SUV EV is a lot of fun to drive, especially in sport mode, and turns heads wherever you go.
All the bells and whistles you’d expect from a European car at an affordable price.

Les Harris was born in the small town of Pirongia in the Waikato region, North Island, New Zealand on the 26th of February 1925. Before he settled into a professional career he moved around a lot but had lived on the family farm in Harris Road, Pokuru, King Country, which is still in the family today.
Having many different jobs over the years including owning and managing the Thames and Waihi rubbish run, general carrier with a couple of handy trucks, mechanic in various places including Citroen motors in Thames, working on the wharves in Wellington in the 1950’s, driving buses in Auckland for many years after an unsuccessful attempt at owning a fish ‘n chip shop in Epsom and café in Queen Street before retiring at 65. He built his own house in Mt Roskill, and invested in a few houses over the years, being a landlord and working and maintaining on those properties until he was around 80 years young.
Comfort, Economy, and Fun all in one!

Introducing the 2022 Peugeot Partner. This award winning van is now available in New Zealand in short (as tested) and long wheel base options both powered by a grunty little 1.2 litre 3 cylinder turbo engine mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission with manual change ability.
This is a great little economical van perfect for inner city deliveries.

Not long before the COVID-19 lock-down we tested the Holden Acadia, one of the last vehicles to carry the Holden name plate. And what a vehicle it is!
Now is the time to get out there and pick up a bargain as Holden sell off the remaining stock (when things are back to normal of course!). These are effectively collectors items now.
Enjoy the video below and stay safe people. Looking forward to coming out of the lock-down and locking in more tests.

Remaining largely unchanged for the last twenty or so years Suzuki finally upgraded the Jimny (very easy to pronounce this Jiminy, as I do many times, even the Suzuki sales guys sometimes take to calling it Jiminy Cricket!), and let’s face it, why would you change something that has been extremely successful for the last two plus decades. After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, the Jimny certainly wasn’t broke, and new model isn’t trying to fix something that doesn’t need fixing, instead, they are pretty much perfecting perfection.
Today it was announced what many guessed would be coming.
The end of an iconic brand across Australasia. Holden, will be no more.
Love it or hate it, there is absolutely no denying the role this Australian brand has had in most people’s lives and hearts since its birth 160 years ago.
