Features
• Now if you want to be ridiculous - Derek Pickard examines a "car" that could well break the 2000 mpg barrier!
• Rip off at the pumps - are you being served? Graeme Willingham investigates petrol shandies, the practice of mixing "super" grade with "standard" at some outlets.
• With your next Ford in mind - John Doughty has just taken over as Chief Designer with Ford Australia. Paul Harrington describes the man, and his views.
• Figures for the future - now! - You may habve thought that four wheel drive passenger cars were a thing of the past, but Audi has released its Turbo Quattro to prove you wrong! Douglas Armstrong reports.
• A rat in a cat!- There are many paths towards cheaper motoring, but replacing a six with a V8 engine may not immediately seem to be one of them. David Segal found otherwise.
• Monday/Friday Falcon freak - Paul Harrington describes experiences with an XD Falcon that didn't come from Ford's press fleet!
Full Tests
• Long on economy - and expediency - There's no questioning the petrol economy of both Suzuki's hatch and Daihatsu's Charade, but is that everything? David Segal and Paul Harrington ask the questions.
• A six to stem the tide - Are the Holden VC Commodore's improvements enough to slow the move to four cylinder cars? Paul Harrington reports.
