Yes, I would love to own a Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series V8 turbo-diesel, who wouldn’t? But the price is a bit of a stopper, more than a bit actually. Toyota makes it easy on a wannabe 'Cruiser 200 Series owner buy offering the smaller Prado which is a worthy little brother to the Big Kahuna and is still a [...]
The all-new Toyota Camry is here and aims to be the Camry that Australian car buyers really want to have in their driveway. Gone (mostly) are the dull driving manners and conservative styling...you might even say the new Toyota Camry is stylish and even fun to drive. But, have Toyota gone too far with this new-gen model and produced [...]
The NSW Blue Mountains are a must-see for visitors to Australia, and like some other attractions that we have in Australia, are perhaps taken a little for granted by us. The beauty and diversity of this region, a designated World Heritage listed area, is almost unmatched. You can do a lot here in a day, it's even better to spend [...]
For the fourth year in succession Toyota has finished ahead of its automotive rivals in a list of the most admired companies. The annual Fortune ‘World's Most Admired Companies’ list is based on the opinion of executives, directors, and analysts of some of the biggest and most successful business in the U.S. and abroad. The respondents are asked to [...]
Aussies love dual-cab utes and they particularly like the 'souped-up' varieties that just about every manufacturer brings to the market. One of the latest additions to the mix is this TRD-enhanced version of the Toyota HiLux SR5. What I find really interesting about this Toyota 'accessories' pack is that it feels a bit more integrated than some of the [...]
It's funny to review a car like the 2018 Toyota 86 GT and talk about how the sports car offering is value for money. But, the Toyota 86 is actually one of the best-value buys on the Australian car market. I've driven cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini and I always feel like Toyota's sporty coupe delivers a lot of [...]
The NSW Southern Highlands region is a short drive from Sydney and we toured this beautiful area in the 2018 Toyota 86. Only around 100 kilometres from Australia's biggest city, the Southern Highlands really is a world away from the daily grind of city life. The Car Toyota Australia handed us the keys to the latest version of it's Toyota [...]
November 22, 2017 Search for: 2017 Toyota Camry SX We drove the Camry at its local launch and liked it. It tends to a bit of understeer when pushed, but the electronic nannies all keep things tidy. We liked the looks and the equipment level. There is a raft of electronics to keep you safe, and to [...]
SUVs overtake passenger car sales for the first time ever We knew it was coming, and it has finally happened. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries stats show SUV buyers now outnumber hatch, sedan and coupe buyers. If you add pick-up-style trucks like Hilux and Navara, it happened a while ago. No one can explain this shift, but it [...]
Yes, Yes,Yes, oh YES: stunning “diamond” styling inside and out, excellent engine and transmissions Oh dear me no: dated audio unit, no Apple CarPaly/Android Auto, no entry level model Before we go on: I’d like to remember those 5 souls who lost their lives when a light aircraft crashed into the DFO Shopping Centre after take-off from Essenden Airfield.
