You’ve no doubt read the story about Goldilocks – the beds, and too soft, too hard and just right. So the same applies to Nissan’s range of SUV’s – Juke, Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder and Patrol. There’s a size to fit anyone. And now that Nissan has extended its warranty to
Hi, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy, with yesterday’s press release from Ford Motor Company announcing the return of the 2020 Ford Fiesta ST to Australia. Now, first things first. I am NOT a fan of Ford’s passenger range, even though that’s where I started in the motor industry in 1978.
A friend of mine dropped by my office recently. He pointed to the Kia Cerato Sport Plus sedan in the carpark and asked what it was. When I told him it was a Kia Cerato, he was surprised. And the next question was about the price. The entry-level Cerato Sedan
Hi, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy, with an important message about the car you’re about to jump in to. Is it safe or is it the subject of a safety recall? How many Uber, Ola, and Didi Drivers are in recalled cars? As someone who is vitally interested in the
Thanks to the folks at Which Car, thought I’d re-post this story. Based on a JL Jeep Wrangler and a 745kW Dodge engine, the 2020 Rezvani is perfect for all those ‘Ends of Days’ folk out there. Probably more so in the USA than Australia, but heck, you’ll get the
As a Mitsubishi dealer from 2000 to 2012, Mitsubishi Triton was one of the strongest selling models in the line-up. Fast forward to 2019 and the new MR Triton is arguably the best selling model Mitsubishi has in Australia. Most of my readers will know, but for the new

“Can you build me a vehicle that we can use to go to church on Sunday, without getting wet, and that my husband can use to take the pigs to market on Monday?” When Lew Bandt first developed the utility in 1933 I’m positive he would never have considered how
Mandatory speed limiters and alcohol and drug detectors are going to kill off one of the great joys of motoring Wheels Mag published this article recently so I thought I’d send it to my customers and friends. So the guts of this are those future cars, probably around 2022 in
New Look Suzuki Baleno Coming To Australia If you ignore the badge on the grill, would you really know who makes this hatch? It might look like a Kia Cerato, but this one is made in Japan by the masters of small cars with fuel efficient engines and plenty of
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.
