The smartest Electric Vehicle available in Australia – Hyundai Kona Electric loses its strange face I recently drove the Hyundai Kona Electric Vehicle and 2 of the three Hyundai Ioniq hatches.

This article was released yesterday (7th November 2020) from Hyundai regarding the new Hyundai Sonata N Line. Whilst the market is suggesting the slow death of passenger cars, there’s still demand for performance vehicles – think Hyundai i30 N Line, Kia Stinger, Volkswagen Golf GTi and more. The Hyundai Sonata
A great alternative to an EV and a high-quality vehicle to boot. Introduction As I suggested in my previous review of the Hyundai Ioniq EV, I’m more impressed with alternative fuel vehicles.

I haven’t been an Electric or Hybrid advocate. Over the last 6 months or so, I’ve had the opportunity to test a few and I’m slowly coming around. This car, the Hyundai Ioniq Electric is another level. There’s no doubt that electric vehicles are starting to create waves. Elon Musk’s

Hyundai i30N – Their first performance car, and they’ve nailed it. Affordable and fun to drive Before waxing lyrical about my time in the Hyundai i30 N Fastback, I just want to thank the COO of Hyundai, John Kett, for the opportunity to test drive the Hyundai range. I know
Hyundai is refreshing its model line-up in Australia. Probably needs to as sister company Kia Motors catches up in overall volume albeit with a less expansive model line-up. Hyundai’s ILoad and I Max isn’t a part of Kia’s lineup and this new i30 Sedan N-Line promises to be a good
Hyundai has launched a bargain-priced crossover to market, loaded with safety and style – Hyundai Venue. I don’t review or write for Hyundai – the journo list seems to be way too long to get on, so I’m happy to share information from other sources whenever I can. Autoweek.com is

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.
