2024 BMW M3 Competition G80 xDrive Hire Sydney: Review, Specs and What It Is Really Like
390kW, 3.5 seconds and all-wheel drive, with four doors and a boot. Quicker than the AMG GT and the only car in the tier that asks you to give up nothing.
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.
390kW, 3.5 seconds and all-wheel drive, with four doors and a boot. Quicker than the AMG GT and the only car in the tier that asks you to give up nothing.
430kW, 4.5 seconds, two and a half tonnes and the aerodynamics of a filing cabinet. The most recognisable luxury vehicle in Australia, and our most requested wedding car.
A front-mid-engined 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with the gearbox over the rear axle. The best-balanced car in our fleet, and one of the best-sounding of the last decade.
A 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, 449kW and all-wheel drive. What the Huracan LP610-4 is genuinely like to live with for a weekend in Sydney, and the roads worth booking it for.
478kW, 3.0 seconds, a carbon fibre tub and dihedral doors. The most surgical car in our fleet, and the most photographed. What the 650S is really like on Sydney roads.
A 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 making 486kW, all-wheel drive, four real seats and a usable boot. The only supercar in our fleet you can take on an actual trip.
Seven seats, quattro all-wheel drive and the most accessible price in the luxury tier. It is the sensible one, and the spec sheet is honest about that.
The smallest thing in the luxury tier and the only one that is genuinely enjoyable to drive. Also, unglamorously, the easiest to park - which around Sydney is worth more than it sounds.
Seven seats where the third row fits actual adults, in a car that still reads as prestige. The rarest combination in the tier and the reason this one gets booked.
The car most people mean when they say luxury SUV. It is also the oldest thing we run, which is worth knowing before you book and does not stop it being the right choice.
