I’ve been violated – without any lubricant. Yesterday, I attended a business breakfast to listen to Martin Ward, the MD and CEO of AP Eagers Limited speak about his company – past, present and future. I’m a minor shareholder and the invitation was provided by Charlie Smallhorn, my broker at
Twelfth-generation Toyota Corolla is huge leap forward in most respects The all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla is due to arrive in Australia early in the new year. One aspect of this car, along with the current model is that it’s available with a standard petrol engine but a hybrid powertrain as well.
I’m not yet privileged enough to drive a lot of new models but I still need to provide my readers with information on upcoming models. And I’m not alone with the Tesla Model 3 access. Wheels magazine, the iconic Australian publication was the only media outlet given access to the
I haven’t driven a lot of Subaru’s in the past. As a former new car dealer, Subaru was annoying, to say the least. In my years with Mitsubishi, Suzuki and then Fiat Chrysler and right up to the Volkswagen years, it was particularly difficult to win business from Subaru –
Why the Kia Stinger is Business Insider’s 2018 Car of the Year Hi, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy, giving you the inside goss on American magazine Business Insider’s car of the year. Seems that the various gongs are coming out earlier and earlier – you’d normally wait for the end
Mazda 6 Tourer review: Soul Red Crystal – Arrive in this and you feel special I’d normally, as I do, share interesting articles from the web on cars and auto stuff. Unfortunately, seems that when I try to share an article or story from The Australian, they (News Limited) want
Jeep Wrangler has long been an iconic off-road vehicle, not only in Australia but around the world. In the recent round of Euro NCAP tests, Jeep Wrangler shocked and disappointed testers with a 1-star rating. But perhaps you shouldn’t be too worried. According to a spokesperson for Fiat Chrysler Australia,
Well Adani protestors, it didn’t work out for you, did it? Apart from the vehicles required to create the Adani mine and the vehicles that will be used by staff ongoing, this story by The Car Guy has absolutely nothing to do with the auto industry. Here are the thoughts of
Abarth 695 Rivale review: a car so bad, it’s scary Abarth 695C Rivale. Jeremy Clarkson has a wicked and sharp tongue. And when he doesn’t like a car, he tells us all about it. And with this Fiat, in particular, the scorn level has elevated to supersonic levels. I must
This Mazda CX-3 Akari is finished in Soul Red Crystal Metallic and it’s a colour that you can almost fall in to. Magnificent to say the least. There are a lot of paint colours in the car market but few are as lustrous as this colour. And as I press publish
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.
