In a world where sustainability and technological advancement are increasingly crucial, the automotive industry finds itself at a crossroads. It’s not merely about designing cars anymore; it’s about crafting vehicles that align with the ethos of the future. Enter the Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed Tourer PHEV, a testament to the fusion
I might have said this in previous stories. I was a Jeep dealer (along with Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat and Alfa Romeo) from 2003 until I sold Northstar Motor Group in 2015. And I’m still a Jeep fan, just not all of the models. Back in the day, Jeep was an
NVES or New Vehicle Efficiency Standard. So this is one acronym that will frighten a whole lot of Aussies over the next couple of years And particularly if you’re a SUV or Ute buyer…or seller. Another update regarding the Federal government NEVS roll out. I acknowledge that this piece comes
I’ve been in a few limosines in my time. In the motor industry, when you’re attending meetings for a manufacturer or importer, they’ll arrange a car to collect you from the airport to go to the meeting location. Mercedes S Class, Chrysler 300, even Kia Carnivals are the vehicles of

I ordered a new Kia EV6 GT in May 2022 and have been waiting patiently for it to arrive. Thanks to Kia Australia, I’ve had the opportunity to test drive the twin to my car for the last week, even down to colour. So my impressions of the KIA EV6
By Shaun McGowan – CEO and Founder, Novated Lease Australia Until recently, not many people outside of tax accountants and company payroll officers had heard of ‘fringe benefits tax’. Now though, it’s the talk of internet forums, barbecues and water coolers up and down the country. The reason? A change

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!
I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.
I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.
thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .
And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.
So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
