Reviews

  • Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

    What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

  • Belkin Powerline AV Networking Adapters

    Belkin's take on power line networking benefits from a streamlined design compared to many Ethernet over power products, but still doesn't deliver on the hype.

  • Volkswagen Golf 118TSI Comfortline (Golf VI, 2009)

    An eerily similar shape with the marvellous twincharger engine, an auxiliary jack (but no USB) and a better interior at a lower price — slow and cautious evolution at work.

  • Skoda Superb Ambition 1.8 TSI (2009)

    Skoda's new Superb may not be a beauty queen, but its Twin Door system allows you to have a sedan-style boot for most occasions and a large hatchback for whenever you're hauling large objects.

  • NetComm NP802n Wireless Router

    NetComm's take on wireless-n still fails to live up to the hype, but is otherwise a solid and capable performer

  • Lexus RX450h (2009)

    Coming here in the middle of 2009, the new RX hybrid boasts a larger engine, tighter handling, more up-to-date cabin tech and an iDrive-style controller.

  • TomTom XL Traffic (2nd generation)

    Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the TomTom XL is a great portable GPS. For AU$100 more there's this Traffic version with, uhh, traffic messaging built-in.

  • TomTom Go 730

    Lane guidance is great and the over-hyped IQ Routes was pretty good, but the best news is that, one year on, the Go 720's faults (price, buggy features) are no more.
