2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI review
Take it from an existing Golf GTI owner – the new Mk8.5 is brilliant. It's as sharp as ever, and remains the benchmark all-round hot hatch.

2025 Hyundai i30 Hatch N Line Premium review
The Hyundai i30 Hatch N Line now has distinctive European flavour, but its mild-hybrid engine doesn't make it feel warm-hatch fast.

MG's cheapest model may no longer hold the budget crown in Australia, but there's a lot to like about this new compact hatch.

2025 MG 4 XPower review
You can’t buy an MG 4 XPower like this… Not yet, anyway. But this hot electric hatch could mark the birth of MG’s take on Hyundai N.
