Every car on the Drive Tribe fleet, reviewed from time behind the wheel on Sydney roads: what it is like to drive, what it costs to run for a weekend, which tier it sits in, the minimum driver age and the excess. Written by the person who chose each car, with the running costs and trade-offs stated plainly rather than sold. Supercars, exotics, performance cars, luxury SUVs and the lifestyle fleet, from a $150-a-day BMW X5 to a $2,600-a-day McLaren 650S.
What a week with an Audi R8 is actually like: five commutes, daily parking, a week of fuel, the kilometre allowance and how the rate tapers. The rare supercar that still makes sense on a wet Thursday.
Both generations of Audi\'s V10 supercar, reviewed for Sydney roads: the first with its gated manual and Gallardo-related engine, the second built alongside the Huracan and the last R8 there will be. Confirmed by request for your dates.
A 441kW twin-turbo V8 wagon with a 565-litre boot, air suspension and a 3.6-second sprint. The family car that outruns supercars, reviewed for the reader with luggage. Exotic tier, 25 and over, confirmed by request.
The first M3 wagon in the model\'s history: 375kW, all-wheel drive, 0-100 in 3.6 seconds and 1,510 litres with the seats down. The M3 Competition sedan with a proper boot, reviewed honestly. Confirmed by request.
A 294kW five-cylinder hatch or sedan that reaches 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and sounds like nothing else at the price. Hire it from 20 on a full licence. Honest review, real numbers, confirmed by request.
A 331kW twin-turbo V6 coupe or Sportback that reaches 100km/h in 3.9 seconds and never raises its voice. The fast car for people who would rather not be noticed. Honest review, confirmed by request.
The McLaren built to be driven every day: 419kW, a carbon tub, hydraulic steering and a sill you can step over in a dress. The cheaper way into the badge, reviewed without the brochure. Confirmed by request.
A 441kW twin-turbo V8 in a five-seat SUV built on the same bones as the Lamborghini Urus. Quicker than most sports cars, room for the family, and a quieter badge than the pace deserves. Confirmed by request.
The Lamborghini with five seats, a proper boot and a twin-turbo V8 instead of a V10. It is the most photographed SUV in the country and one of the quickest, and it asks far less of its driver than the Huracan does. Honest about the size, the noise and the fuel.
The car McLaren built after the 650S: 530kW, a second-generation carbon tub, 0-100 in 2.9 seconds and a cabin you can actually see out of. The step up, reviewed honestly. Confirmed by request.
