Highway To Hell

THEY SAY THE JOURNEY IS BETTER THAN THE DESTINATION... THEY MUSTN’T HAVE DRIVEN A G300 ON A LONG HIGHWAY DRIVE.

- Matt Raudonikis

THE G300CDI Professional is an easy car to live with in town, in the bush or in the desert, but how does it fare on a long touring drive? A trip to Silverton to witness the final stages of the Outback Challenge would provide the answers. Plus, taking the G-Pro would ensure we had the vehicle to reach the Challenge’s remote stages.

Melbourne to Broken Hill direct is a tedious 900km haul up the highway. There are more interesting dirt-road routes to take if you have time on your side, but when you need to get up there to see the stages that night, the highway it has to be. If you find long highway drives a chore, then the G-Pro really won’t be your friend.
