The 2016 Nissan Altima has just been unveiled, three years after the debut of the current version, and it looks to be some sort of mid-life facelift rather than a full model redesign.

To be honest, we weren’t expecting to drive this car anytime soon. The Ferrari 488 GTB was just revealed in February this year, and given the long waiting lists for these things, we’re surprised the dealer even kept a test car, let alone gave one to us. However, we only had the car for a few hours, so here’s the quickest review you’ll ever read.
| The Good: – Tremendous engine – Cabin space and features – Ride and handling |
The Bad: – Understated cabin design – Low ground clearance – Mirrors on the small side |
| The Good: – Decent engine for its class – Excellent ride and handling – Class-leading cabin materials |
The Bad: – A/C takes time to cool – Somewhat shallow boot – Mild steering feedback |
The convertible version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith has just been revealed, and despite the hype, it looks exactly like the convertible version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith.
| The Good: – Great styling inside and out – Handles pretty good – Decent ride comfort |
The Bad: – Expensive for its class – Small boot volume – No low-range gearing |
It was time to get some new tyres for our Jaguar XK, since the old ones had “expired” as per the RTA. Considering it’s always a hassle to go get tyres changed, we decided to try shopping for tyres online, on the only local tyre site we’d heard of in Dubai.
This is the “new” 2016 Mazda 6. It just seems to be a facelift, but in reality, it’s actually a pretty major change, when you consider the all-new interior.
Our region probably has the highest concentration of 4x4s on the planet. Given the immense popularity of offroad vehicles here, it is a shame that maybe 90% of them are never actually taken offroad, given that we live in the desert. However, offroad driving isn’t that hard once you know what you’re doing, and we’re here to tell just how to get started with your first desert adventure.
Guess what? We’re special. Special enough that Chrysler is offering a car here that is not offered in North America. The 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT is still built there, but will only go on sale in a handful of overseas markets such as South Africa, Australia and Japan as well as all the GCC countries. And we got our hands on a fresh example.
