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. Very impressive. And now Hyundai has removed the painted chequer plate nose on the Hyundai Kona Electric and replaced
Today I’m commenting on a video I’ve seen recently about transmission repairs and secondly about the life of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. If you’re as old as me, you might remember a man named Peter Wherret – he of the “Torque” and “Marque” television program aired on the ABC, over
This article was released yesterday (7th November 2020) from Hyundai regarding the new Hyundai Sonata N Line.

#HIS7ORY: In a season like no other, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team secures a historic seventh consecutive double championship at Imola Even for a moment, it seemed that Valtteri Bottas would surge away and take the race. And then the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix threw up an alternative as Valtteri
By winning the Portuguese Grand Prix on Sunday, Lewis Hamilton became the ‘winningest’ driver in the history of the sport. Lewis came back from losing the lead on the first lap to take the chequered flag by a comfortable margin over fellow Silver Arrows driver Valtteri Bottas. There are some
Great makeover and PHEV option on 2021 Eclipse Cross While the rear of the facelifted Eclipse Cross isn’t illustrated all that well, I’m hoping that the lower rear spoiler has been deleted. That’s been the only critical comment by the Car Business customers, instead opting for the less flamboyant Outlander.
Lewis equals Michael Schumacher’s F1 win record with victory for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team at the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix Nürburgring I’ve been a follower of Formula 1 since I was a child and that’s a very long time ago. I was born in the year that Juan Manuel

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.
