AUSTRALIA’S BEST VALUE PERFORMANCE CAR ANNOUNCED - (WINNER AT HALF THE PRICE OF NEAREST RIVAL) For a lot of people driving a car means far more than just getting from A to B.

It’s an intellectual discussion and one we should be having. But when it comes to what many (and possibly most) of us really want in a motoring experience, it’s a passionate choice. It may even be a generational one which is deeply ingrained. Aussies just love V8s. |

| HAVE WE HIT ‘PEAK BUTTON’ IN OUR CARS … AND HOW MUCH GADGETRY IS TOO MUCH? Chances are your car has buttons that you have absolutely no idea about. With modern vehicles increasingly becoming driveable computers, some motorists are feeling a sense of overload and of being decidedly out-of-the-loop.
