This is a small update to my recent post on the Kia Niro Hybrid. One of the important reasons that I test drive and review various brands, is to provide an honest opinion on the worthiness of the vehicle. Recently, courtesy of Kia Motors Australia, I reviewed a brand new
As dominant as Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has been over recent years, it’s looking like its Red Bull’s turn to take the front. Max Verstappen was a class above the rest of the field, even having sufficient room to pit late in the 2021 Austrian Grand

What’s the hardest Grand Prix to watch on television? Probably the 2021 French Grand Prix at the Circuit Paul Ricard. With the blue and red lines around the track destined to keep cars from hard-crashing into the barriers, (most of the time) my eyes get heavy and I have to
When your favourite team and favourite driver finish outside the points, it’s disheartening and almost to the point where I didn’t want to provide this review. But as Lewis says, “An unfortunate day, a humbling experience and I’m so sorry for the team”. 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix highlights Heartbreak in

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.
