About James
James Wong began his automotive journalism career at Carsales in 2015 as an intern, before joining CarAdvice in 2016 where he quickly became a prominent news writer. During his time there he published almost 3000 news and review articles and even made Mumbrella’s “Top 20 most prolific web authors in Australia” list in 2019.
He later broadened his skills in automotive PR as a Communications Consultant with Ford Australia through Pulse (now Ogilvy PR), before reuniting with former colleagues at CarExpert.
Outside of work, James owns a Mk7.5 VW Golf GTI nicknamed “Freddy” and is a proud Ambassador for Drive Against Depression, a charity supporting mental wellness through driving. Away from cars, he enjoys tennis, dancing, and karaoke – usually belting out a Mariah Carey ballad.
