Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!

We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.

From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me!

We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews! Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know!

Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

We brought the Cannon X after having a Ranger. 8mths later still can’t believe the value for money and no problems at all 😊

[eternallearner]

Always have to remind myself when watching/reading a review by someone who does it for a living, and that is, there is a big difference between testing a vehicle and ownership of a vehicle.

[sandroiavazzo]

I see no mention about the Musso in the comments, driven or owned just about everything else, at this point in time FOR MANY REASONS i choose the Musso, YOU MUST DRIVE ONE, and thank me later.

[dylancoleman]

First person to actually give the gwm cannon a good rating hands down if you don't agree your just biased! Went from a 2019 sr5 hilux to the gwm cannon x and towing was a downgraded but eveything else is just so much better! Will definitely be a brand that will be up there in price in a few more years just like Kia and Hyundai did went from everyone hating them to everyone buying one

[Zaki-de]

Personally I wouldn't care about Power or cornering ability when it comes to utes.
My main concerns in a ute would be for work so Durability, Reliability, Towing Capacity, Common issues, Costs of services, maintenance and Fuel efficiency. Not so much interior design and technology as most the newer utes all look good and have nice interior.
Also, maybe even offroad capability comparison would be nice.

Would love to see the Mahindra Pickup in analysis like this. In standard guise they are pretty dull but here in SA they get sold with a ton of aftermarket kit like uprated suspension, aggressive AT tires, bull bars, roof racks etc. Still more affordable than a base model 2.4 Hilux or bottom of the range Ranger 4x4. Its a real option for the budget minded buyer, not just a laughable tractor based bakkie 😂

[kentaylor]

I just got the wildtrak V6 in may. Its so far ahead of the dmax, hilux and everything else its not funny. The amarok wasnt around yet but its a bit more expensive for less kit so i ruled that out. The hilux is a bit of a joke, so expensive and you get literally an 8 year old car.

Only truly considered the dmax because its great value.

[michaelsullivan]

Really enjoyed this review. It would have been even better if you could have included comments on warranty / parts availability etc as I have heard (unsubstantiated) that owners of big US utes and some of lower budget utes don't have a good network despite have extended warranty

[StephenKelly]

Would have loved to see the Mahindra in here!

[radu]

I’m curious what herbs you smoked before the video

[milesdavis]

Oh man, you never went into reliability if these vehicles. Would be much appreciated if you did a separate video on that as well as shared the things that can possibly go wrong in each one 😊

[Kimtiger]

I really wish to buy a Ford, but I recently found out "wet belt" issue and not sure should I move to Dmax or just give a shot with a Ford, wishing now Ford fix the issue. And I am really surprised that no one cares about this major crisis. Now I am wondering is it because it is actually minor issue but few people making a fusses about or people just being ignorant and don't care because it is 100k miles later.

[jhtongamer]

What year ford ranger I have 35 k or should I go for a ldv t60? Would love to hear what you think

[phillbeggs]

Are you going to review the Ranger Platinum

[petercorrigan]

IS it true the Triton ute has stop/start tech, as stated in RACV article, this would be a deal breaker for me. CHEERS PETER.

[cheez]

off topic, I just noticed the stain on his shirt

[TEH_ub]

Should do an upgraded one with ldv utes because they are good and the mehidra utes

The best ute for me is the 1st-gen Amarok.
