Buying a new vehicle is an amazing experience. Nothing beats the anticipation of your first ride in a brand new car that’s all yours. The only downside? RESEARCH! A car is not a purchase people take lightly and it could take up to three months to explore different vehicles; which we think is three months too long! Instead, we got together a team of passionate (if not slightly obsessive) car journos with one goal in mind; to help you buy a car that was made for you. Our quiz was designed to analyse your life style needs and determine what new car will navigate you best through the journey of life. Whether you’re looking for the most economical car or the most powerful car, all you have to do is answer a few simple questions and our website does the hard work to narrow down the vehicles best suited for you.
It doesn’t stop there though; we also like to keep you up to date with the latest Australian car news, reviews and updates. Whether its writing thrilling articles on new hypercars, taking quality utes on adventures in the great outdoors or rating SUVs on the family friendly scale, our website has it all in terms of quality material. We also have all the info on when is the best time to buy new cars and how to nip the best car deals!

Ford revealed the all-new Bronco SUV. It’s an exciting time at the moment with the resurrection of Ford Bronco; the family and off-roader vehicle. Ford revealed three variants of the new car: two-door, four-door, and a Sport option. The Broncos are highly capable when it comes to 4x4 adventuring and off-roading. Ford mentioned that there will be several engine and transmission options as well.
The Ford Bronco has a rich heritage dating back to 1965 however the model was discontinued by Ford in 1996. After the Blue Oval dropped the Bronco, this vehicle became a collectible item with a hefty price.
Ford however is expanding its horizons again all in order to tackle the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota FJ Cruiser and somehow the Land Rover Defender. It plans to follow the same strategy they had with the Ford Mustang. Bronco will somehow be a standalone off-roading brand.
The legendary Ford Bronco is back in a classic yet modern design, it will include inventive features, remarkable off-road capabilities and a highly capable chassis and drive train. The interior of the Ford Bronco will also come full of technological features.
Engine and Performance
With all the current restrictions with emissions, car manufacturers are making smaller engines. So sorry folks, the all-new Ford Bronco won’t be available in an eight or six cylinder. There will be 2 different four-cylinder engines; a 2.3-litre turbocharge that produces 270 hp and the second engine is 2.7-litre twin-turbo that generates 310 hp. Both engines will have a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Ford Bronco is also available in a standard four-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive system. Also, you can include additional options such as:
• 35-inch Mud-terrain Tyres
• Bead Lock-capable Wheels
• Electronic Locking Front and Rear Differentials
• Long-travel Dampers
• Sway-bar-disconnect Feature
The Bronco has an impressive 30cm ground clearance and can dive through up to 85cm of water.
Interior Vibes:
The all-new Ford Bronco is available in two or four doors, and can also come with a soft or hardtop. Like the Jeep Wrangler the Bronco has removable body panels and offers the same open-air potentials which will get you excited for your next journey.
Ford took into consideration the convenience and comfort of their customers, especially while they are driving the Bronco on an adventurous trip. Bronco has a bracket above the dashboard where you can mount your phone or camera. Its frameless doors make it easier to remove the doors, and if you have the extended-wheelbase model, you will have enough space to store the doors in the car. An 8.0-inch or 12.0-inch touchscreen is available. You can also connect to the cloud and link your smartphone wirelessly. The infotainment system has modern tech features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, in addition to an off-road performance app. The cabin also contains durable, waterproof surfaces that protect your things when the doors and the soft or hardtop roof are removed.
The all-new Bronco will have a bundle of safety and driver assistance technology features:
• Automatic High-beams
• Parking Sensors
• Forward Collision Warning
• Automated Emergency Braking
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
What To Ride believes that at least for now, the Ford Bronco will unfortunately not make its landing in Australia anytime soon. Ford only confirmed the left hand drive production.

If you’re a lover of thrilling power and the fresh, open air then the limited edition Lamborghini Sián Roadster is the car to fall in love with. This unique beauty has the most powerful Lamborghini engine and is an extraordinary experience with the roof down. In recent times, we are seeing that supercar giants are in a battle to not only provide the most powerful supercar but to answer the question of “which car looks the best?”. We have seen this in the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and now The new Lamborghini Sián Roadster limited edition which has a breathtaking appearance and is giving everyone a run for their money with the latest technology.
Electrification and hybrid technologies providing a new tomorrow:
This supercar is powered by a V12 engine combined with ground breaking hybrid technologies to produce a total of 602kW of power all in a convertible package. Lamborghini’s innovative hybrid system also stores electric energy in its super-capacitor storing ten times more energy than the lithium-ion battery.
The V12 alone is responsible for 577kW accompanied by an extra 25kW from the 48-volt motor and can reach a top speed of 350 km/h. Its weight-to-power ratio is a super low 2.0 kg/hp, and it can tear from 0-100 km/h in under 2.9 seconds. This electrification strategy will not affect Lamborghini’s legacy of providing extraordinary and dynamic performance.
Design and comfort:
The Lamborghini Sián Roadster will provide its rider with an exceptional experience with its open-air cabin. A birds eye view of the Sián Roadster gives you a nostalgic flashback to the first Lamborghini Countach, especially the way the design is integrated diagonally from the cockpit to the rear. The aero wings definitely give this new car an aggressive sporty profile. Lamborghini Sian ensures a revolutionary aerodynamic efficiency where airflow is directed through the front splitters and bonnet, and through the side air intakes, outlets and over the rear spoiler. The back of this supercar has the Lamborghini signature hexagon design with hexagonal taillights.
Although the Lamborghini Sián Roadster is not the most economical car and is mainly used for enjoying power and performance, it still benefits from a high level of driving comfort enabled by the hybrid system and its outstanding handling and aerodynamic designs. This new supercar will guarantee that the driver will only feel the pull of acceleration, abolishing rough shuddering movements.
Whoever will see one of the 19 Lamborghini Sián Roadsters will be incredibly lucky and whoever drives it will be even more so with the unique opportunity to be one of only 19 people to own it in the whole world!

Covid-19 has done a number on the world today and most times you’ll find there aren’t enough hours in a day to do your shopping let alone look at to buying a new vehicle.
Well rest assured Kia Motors Australia (KMA) has developed a tool to help you select a car that’s right for you. It’s easy yet effective in helping you build and buy your car online and Kia has stated that this is a service many people have gladly adapted to already.
By visiting kia.com.au and clicking ‘Build & Order Online’, the customer has the opportunity to tailor a brand new car specifically for them and what their family needs at their own pace. They then enter their details and what dealership they would like to seal the deal (with a $100 credit card deposit)! They can also add details of a trade in and inform the dealership whether their existing car is still under finance. Previously Volkswagen introduced this service in Australia.
After the customer has built their new car the dealer of their choice will contact them to finalise the purchase and discuss details of delivery.
Easy as!

The Tesla Model Y Five-seater was released in March last year and deliveries to US customers started in March 2020. However, the seven-seater is set to start deliveries sometime in the last quarter of this year according to Elon Musk’s confirmation via Twitter.
Tesla has confirmed that the Model Y will have the option to add an additional row of seats to accommodate 7 adults despite this model being inspired by the Model 3 platform, which is smaller. However, it still has a compact SUV feel to it which is quite popular nowadays. It is still unclear whether there will be two seats on the third row or have the seats backwards-facing.
Interior, Infotainment & Features:
In the Tesla Model Y the driver gets to enjoy an elevated seating position and a low dash, which gives a commanding view of the road ahead. Moreover, the interior of the Model Y is neat and simple, with a 15-inch touch screen, immersive sound system and an expansive all-glass roof that creates extra headroom and provides a seamless view of the sky.
The Tesla Model Y comes with emergency braking, collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and more. It will also have Full Self-Driving capability (cheers to the lazy!), enabling automatic driving on city streets and highways pending regulatory approval, as well as the ability to come find you anywhere in a parking lot- useful for those with poor memory of where they parked!
Power:
The Tesla Model Y all electric vehicle is All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with two independent electric motors controlling torque in the front and rear wheels to ensure better handling, traction and stability control. It is a highly capable car that can handle itself in rain, mud, snow and even off-roading. As is typical with electric cars, acceleration is fast and can sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds with a maximum range of up to 505km.
What To Ride can’t wait to meet the Tesla Model Y even though we are unsure when it will grace us Down Under. However, a car that can drive itself is a car we’d love to see!

A rare car is something so special to own as manufacturers produce them in limited numbers and are the best of the best. The following models were so exclusive that they were only produced in single digits.
There are few reasons that warrant the production of a rare car and they all contribute to why these cars are so expensive. Rare cars are usually made in celebration for a special company's anniversary, or the car upholds a legacy in racing, or was featured in a movie driven by a legendary celebrity.
A car that was built for a special purpose will most probably sell for millions of dollars, unlike the many other cars you see on the streets.
We’ve compiled a list of 15 of the rarest cars. These cars were produced in single digits and they are limited editions or one-offs.
15- Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe:
Only six units of the Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe were produced from 1927 till 1933. The first car was delivered to the customer in 1932. In 1987, a unique Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for a record price (at the time) of $560,000 USD which is approximately $1,300,000 by todays standards.
14- Jaguar XKSS:
Sometimes things don’t go as planned, especially with Jaguar. The D-Type race car was a legend for Jaguar so they created a road-legal version and named it Jaguar XKSS. The first model for Jaguar XKSS was built in 1957 and the plan was to build twenty-five units. However, only sixteen units were assembled, and only nine Jaguar XKSSs were built to original specifications and actually launched.
