Out now: motoring iPad App 43 – Little luggers
In the latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad magazine we pitch the Cruze Sportwagon against the Hyundai i30 TourerWhile compact SUVs become more commonplace and pricier, and hatchbacks lose some of their lustre, the small wagon is making a minor comeback in Australian driveways. In the latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad App magazine we compare two such small wagons, the Holden Cruze Sportwagon and Hyundai i30 Tourer, to see which offers the best value for money and on-road appeal.
We also travel back in time to when Bob Watson drove his Renault R8 Gordini to 1970 Australian Rally Championship victory. Fast forward to 2013, can the latest factory-backed Clio R3, Renault's official return to the ARC, repeat history? Feann Torr straps in for a wild ride to find out...

We also drive Mercedes-Benz’ new swoopy sedan, the CLA; hop behind the wheel of Holden’s new true blue offroader, the Colorado 7, and take Subaru’s latest diesel CVT auto-equipped Subaru Outback for a spin.
