Car Torque with Matty J

On this episode of Car Torque, I interview Paul Maric from Car Advice.com.au who is the Senior Road Tester. I ask questions about the automotive journalist industry,  how to get in, what journos look for, cars in general, ask a few this or that’s and get an understanding of Paul himself. Paul gives in depth information about his time in the industry, his car views as well as where he wants to see cars in the future.

Hot hatches have been in the media a ton lately with the latest hyper hatches running amuck with the big boys. The 2000s saw the shift from big displacement engines in little cars to turbo technology in which we see in hot hatches today. This period was the resurgence of the hot hatch. I was joined by Alam and Anthony as we talked about our favourite from the period and why these cars made such an impact on us.
