    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.

    Audi Q5 Design 2017 review
    By Peter Anderson · 22 Aug 2017
    Audi's Q5 mid-size SUV has been a remarkable success in this country. It's hard to believe the unadorned original landed here in Australia almost 10 years ago, with a fresh face, VW Group underpinnings and a job to do - luring people who couldn't afford, or just didn't want the giant bruiser Q7 into an Audi SUV. It

    Subaru XV 2.0i 2017 review
    By Peter Anderson · 28 Jul 2017
    Riding on the Impreza's new platform, the new XV is still, to be kind, challenging to look at. But if it's got the new and improved Subaru platform underneath, it's probably a better car. Right?
