This month we’ve finally got behind the wheels of Porsche’s most controversial new model since the Cayenne, read all about our impressions of the 4-door Panamera here. We’ve also samples Citroen’s new C3 hatch, and Steve has ridden the new BMW S1000RR superbike until the wheels came off, or at least until they closed down the track and booted him out!

This month we introduce a new regular contributor in the form of the well-known Steve Wicks - read his first piece for Drive Magazine on using a bike to commute daily right here. While Bob Allison gets stuck into his customary, detailed research to find out just what’s going on behind the new emissions tax we’re facing this year.

As for road tests, there’s the Renault Clio RS being put through its paces this month, Russell swans about in a real ugly duckling, Chrysler’s Sebring Convertible, our last test of an old friend in the VW Golf Mk1 as well as VW’s strangely compelling CC 2.0 TDI DSG, and the very cute, very sexy little Nissan Qashqai n-tec in all it’s glory. Meanwhile Steve gets his leg over Yamaha’s baby YZF-R6 (the big girl), and then has to man up again to take control of the raging Suzuki GSX-R 1000.

Finally, our showdown for the month sees the two rally giants from the 90s, Subaru and Mitsubishi, facing off on SA soil at least. Except it isn’t what you’re thinking. See how the new Mitsubishi Outlander fares head to head against the Subaru Outback right here.
