Reviews

  • Honda Civic Hybrid sedan (2006)

    Identified by the dinner plate wheels and skinny tyres, this greener Civic features a 1.3-litre engine mated to a battery pack and electric motor to return an official combined rating of 4.6L/100km and 109g of CO2 per km.

  • Honda Civic Sport sedan (2006)

    The Sport version of the Civic sedan features a bigger 2.0-litre heart, as well as the futuristic styling and dashboard, MP3 capable CD stacker and auxiliary jack seen elsewhere in the range.

  • Honda Civic VTi Sedan (2006)

    Featuring a space age dash, distinctive styling, MP3 capable CD player and an auxiliary jack, but no direct iPod access, this generation of Civic rescued the nameplate after years in the automotive wilderness.

  • Hyundai Getz SX 5-door hatch (2006)

    The X in SX presumably stands for extra kit, like the larger 1.6-litre engine, disc brakes on all four wheels, ABS and electronic brake force distribution.

  • 3 INQ1

    There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.

  • Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

    Despite a few small flaws, Guitar Hero III is an excellent addition to the Guitar Hero franchise and shouldn't be missed.

  • Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

    Slick controls and great boss fights make Corruption a worthy end to the Metroid Prime trilogy.

  • Heavenly Sword

    Heavenly Sword feels like a summer action flick. It's full of nonstop action, and it looks terrific. Unfortunately, it's over far too quickly.
