Mazda Axela Guide: Why It's NZ's Favourite "Fun" Hatch
If you have spent any time browsing the used car market in New Zealand, you have probably noticed the Mazda Axela popping up everywhere. There is a good reason for that. It corners like a car that costs twice as much, returns fuel economy that will genuinely surprise you, and has racked up hundreds of thousands of kilometres for NZ owners without major drama. But not all Axelas are the same. There are three distinct engine options, two body styles, and a hybrid variant that most buyers do not even know exists. This guide breaks it all down so you can buy with confidence.
Buying a Used Car in Christchurch: The Ultimate Local Guide
Buying a used car in Christchurch is not the same as buying one in Auckland or Wellington. The Canterbury climate, the Port Hills, and the long open straights of the Plains all shape what you need from a vehicle. A car that performs perfectly in the north can struggle down here when a July frost hits and the temperature drops overnight. As one of the busiest used car yards on Blenheim Road, we know this market better than anyone.

At 2 Cheap Cars, we sell thousands of first cars every year. Here is our definitive guide to the five best learner cars on the market right now.

Samsung Galaxy S26 In-car Features
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 range yesterday at Galaxy Unpacked in San Francisco, and for once, a flagship phone launch has something genuinely interesting to say to drivers. The S26 is not just thinner and faster than the S25. It has been built with in-car use clearly in mind, with specific features that address real problems drivers have with phones mounted on a dash. Whether your car has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or neither, several of the new S26 features will change how you use your phone behind the wheel. Here is what is actually new and what it means for everyday driving in New Zealand.
What Is the Cheapest Reliable Hybrid Car in NZ
The search for the cheapest reliable hybrid in NZ invariably leads to the Toyota Aqua and the Honda Jazz Hybrid.

Best Used SUVs for the Auckland Lifestyle: From Rugby Runs to Piha Surf
In Auckland, our cars need to be multi-talented athletes.

We break down the top 5 used SUVs that fit the true Kiwi lifestyle.
