    Worst car of 2025? The 'zero accountability' MG3 is finally recalled.

    After more than eight weeks of doing nothing, the 'death trap' MG gets officially recalled - with more than 10,000 people at risk, owing to a glaring design deficiency.

    Mitsubishi: Stop doing this!

    Mitsubishi's implementation of so-called 'driver assistance' technology is among the worst - in the latest models - and there is STIFF competition. I'm talking about ADAS - 'Advanced Driver Assistance Systems'. Although the first 'A' should more rightly be changed to 'annoying'. This is what happens when ANCAP pretends it's the dog, and carmakers act like the tail - driving is just about ruined as a satisfying experience.

    The truth about oil and fuel additives

    I recently had the chance to catch up with the top engineer at Nulon (which used to be wholly Australian but is now owned by German chemical giant, Fuchs). What I learned at their headquarters in south-western Sydney basically inverted everything I thought I knew about additives - I even started using two particular kinds, with a view to heading off two particular modern engine problems.

    Polestar is a joke in Australia now

    Polestar erected a glorified plywood box inside the Volvo dealership in Penrith the other day. (Next to a floodway and snake swamp.) Apparently it's all part of saving the planet, of course. And - obviously - s-o-o-o-o incredibly newsworthy.

    Here's why you don't trust car reviews any more

    Vested interest is a conflict of interest, right? When a publisher is in bed with a carmaker, their review does (at best) quite a poor job serving the interests of you, the potential car buyer, in the audience. Thus, trust evaporates (but the publisher cops a big, fat earn).

    Kia Tasman sales are a disaster - who knew that would happen?

    Kia Tasman drives really well, has great powertrain integration, a classy interior, a great rear seat, a big tray, and heaps of cabin space. Unfortunately, that's insufficient to overcome its rampant ugliness, its mediocre engine and its sky-high pricetag, so people aren't buying it. Good news, if you want a big discount.
