Latest Performance Picks

Whichever the preference, both have their following of enthusiasts. Here are our top picks for this generation of petrolheads.
Subaru WRX
RRP: Starting from $45,652

With what can be considered to have somewhat of a cult following, the WRX was birthed from Japan in 1992 and introduced to the consumer market as a daily usable rally car. It exemplifies all you could dream of for a day at the track trailed by a cruise along the coast with the windows down, and speakers blasting. The WRX is packed with performance potential, capturing car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a good kick of power and superb feeling of grip through the corners with its AWD capability. And not to mention its iconic boxer rumble, the WRX brings excitement and the child out of all of those who drive it.
Golf GTI
RRP: Starting from $58,862

Produced since 1976 and considered to be the most popular car of its class – the Volkswagen Golf GTI is a luxurious, sporty, and compact vehicle. It was designed with performance enthusiasts in mind, but it’s also a practical car with enough space for your golf clubs and bags. It has four doors which makes it easy to get kids in and out. One of its most famous features is the sound it makes when you step on its accelerator pedal – a low growl or ‘breaking wind’ sound that the DSG gear box produces makes you giggle as you’re about to have some fun! It has a lot of potential for tuning and customising, making it the perfect car for anyone looking to personalise their car and truly making it their own.
Kia Stinger
RRP: Starting from $54,090

If you’re a driver that breathes thrill, looks forward to every twist and turn on the road, then this is the car for you. Designed in partnership with Subaru and is also sold as a Subaru BRZ, the 86 is not particularly special. It’s not luxurious, doesn’t boast any refinement and it’s not powerful or practical, the 86 is all about having fun. Low tech means it’s simple, rear-wheel drive means it can slide; its lightweight, ready to change direction, a machine with old school technology, a blank canvas for the enthusiast on a budget to make their own.
