best car magazines australia

If you want big Aussie car mag energy, start with Wheels—still the benchmark for reviews, features and awards. Street Machine brings burly V8 builds and burnout bravado, while Unique Cars obsesses over classics and barn finds you’ll swear you can afford. For the bush tracks and muddy bits, 4X4 Australia covers rigs, gear and adventure routes without the influencer fluff. MOTOR retired from print but lives on digitally via WhichCar, so the fast stuff hasn’t exactly parked up. Grab a mix: Wheels for tests, Street Machine for wrenching inspo, Unique Cars for nostalgia, and 4X4 Australia when the bitumen gets boring.
