Zooming with DRIVEN

We're talking about the ute shootout that's causing serious debate over on our Facebook page this week, as well as Ineos' new Grenadier that's on its way to New Zealand. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a couple of weeks now, there has been a lot of debate within the DRIVEN as to which Ferrari is the best. And we're happy to report that the debate has finally been solved, and unsurprisingly, Sam was wrong.  We also talk about the new performance cars that were released this week in the form of the McLaren Artura and the Porshe 911 GT3. And while the McLaren is a plug-in hybrid tech masterpiec...

We revisit the Sixty Second Sell, and rally-related cars are the topic of discussion this week. From Ford Fiestas, to Pajero Evolutions, the stuff you can find on our site is nothing short of amazing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about the new performance cars that were released this week in the form of the McLaren Artura and the Porshe 911 GT3. And while the McLaren is a plug-in hybrid tech masterpiece, the Porsche is a nod to traditional drivers everywhere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time this year, the whole gang is back together, so we decided to head back to the video studio to bring you Zooming in all its glory. Arguably the biggest news in the office this week isn't car related, but instead, it's the fact that Sam welcomed a pair of twins into the world! Unfortunately, he forgot to give them car-related names, so we've come up with a few to help. We also dis...

We discuss possible seven-seat premium SUV options on a budget between $80-$120K, and pitch our favourites. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're down to just two as David heads off on the local launch of Hyundai's new Palisade SUV, and Sam's on baby duties as his twins are born. Dean and Andrew talk about Tesla's massive recall which covers over 130,000 cars in the US, and Tony Quinn buying into Triple Eight Racing, and becoming the biggest stakeholder in the racing business. Dean also tests Andrew's knowledge on Ferraris i...

We cover off NZ's new car sales for January 2021, and while you won't be surprised as to which vehicle is on top, there has been some interesting movement in the pack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The big news this week in local motoring is Hyundai's launch of the new Palisade SUV, which is one of the first eight-seaters we've seen in NZ.

As we first settled into lockdowns, automotive market predictions were grim, but a lot of brands defied expectations and managed to still sell a heap of new cars throughout 2020. We also cover what we've been driving over the summer break, and David goes into detail about the New Zealand Grand Prix making its debut at Hampton Downs earlier this month. Sam's still yet to return, so we play the car...

Motoring kicked off with a bang this year at the New Zealand Grand Prix, where Shane van Gisbergen managed to win the main event while starting from pit lane! Our man David was on the ground there, and he talks about what the event was like as a whole. Andrew went down to Palmerston North to drive Lexus' new IS sedan, and it sounds like it was a hoot!
