    Articles by Peter Anderson

    Peter Anderson
    Contributing journalist

    Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.

    By Peter Anderson · 15 Dec 2017
    Finding a seven-seat SUV with the V6 power to move all those humans is a challenge, unless you're willing to spend $100,000 or more, but fortunately Kia's Sorento can be yours for less than half that

    Holden Trax 2018 review
    By Peter Anderson · 12 Dec 2017
    Holden's plucky little Trax was a bit of a trailblazer (ahem). Not only was it Holden's first compact SUV, it beat most of the manufacturers to the segment by almost 12 months.

    Subaru Forester 2017 review: 2.5i-S long term
    By Peter Anderson · 07 Dec 2017
    Subarus and I have an interesting relationship. I was the proud owner of a MY00 Impreza WRX, back when I didn't care about the cost of insurance and what other people thought I did for a living.
