Out now: motoring iPad App 44 – Budget Bustin' Babies
In the latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad magazine the spotlight turns on affordable hatchesCars designed for inexperienced drivers or small families on a strict budget have to be affordable and easy to drive – but do they also measure up as 'real' cars? In the latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad App magazine our road test team placed Alto, Spark, Mirage, Micra and up! under the microscope – 'cos they look bigger through the lens.
At the other end of the market, three new supercars were recently unveiled in Geneva – but not to universal acclaim. We asked a well-known designer to offer his thoughts on the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Lamborghini Veneno. He held back nothing... except his name.
Local manufacturing is back in the news, following Holden's announcement of a program to offer 500 workers voluntary redundancy in Elizabeth and Port Melbourne. But in other parts of the world – like Shanghai, in China – the automotive industry is alive and kicking goals with cars like the Maserati Ghibli. Over in Sweden, meantime, Volvo is putting the finishing touches to a new engine family set to slay V8s. And pricing and specs for the Fiat Freemont wrap up our news for this edition.
We also drive Mazda6 Atenza, Chrysler's diesel-powered 300C and the Range Rover Autobiography, and we get carried away to distant places in our long-term test Hyundai i40.
Issue 44 of the motoring.com.au App is loaded with the latest news, in-depth features, and retina-popping pics and videos. Download it free from the iTunes Newsstand at the App Store now.
