First out of the blocks is the 2.5-litre petrol-only Sport, starting at $29,700 for the sedan and $30,900 for the wagon.

Standard features include 17-inch alloys, a six-speaker stereo with reversing camera, remote central locking with push-button start, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, sat nav, auto headlights and wipers, cloth trim, space-saver spare tyre, power windows, leather steering wheel and gear-shifter and power folding mirrors.

Even the entry model has six airbags, ABS, stability and traction control, front and rear city AEB and reverse cross traffic alert. The 6 scored five ANCAP stars in 2013.

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.
