  • Car Dealers - Will They Soon Be Extinct?
    [Automotive] There are some things in life you can really on, apart from death and taxes. Having car dealers around is one of those things. Let's face it, they seem to be everywhere, don't they? Sometimes it seems that on the outskirts of a town or city, the streets are full of little else.


  • Car Dealers - Is Business Sponsorship a Cynical Promotional Tool?
    [Business:Marketing] Recently, I received a promotional newsletter for a local car dealer that had a particularly large article about a charity fundraising event they had sponsored. It got me thinking about the nature of business sponsorship and whether the benefits of having a car dealer backing a charity actually outweighs the feeling that this was simply just a cynical promotional tool.


  • Car Dealers - Why Advertising is Fundamental
    [Business:Advertising] Selling cars is one of the biggest businesses around and it has to be said, advertising is a fundamental part of this. There have been some wonderful TV campaigns over the years promoting some very famous brands: Honda's quirky ads particularly stand out in recent times.


  • Used Porsche - You Can Save Thousands When You Buy One
    [Automotive] There are few vehicles as stately and as desirable as Porsche cars. I think it would be a fair assumption to say that there aren't many drivers out there who would turn their noses up at the opportunity to own one, but there is one factor that prevents these cars from selling like proverbial hot cakes; the price.


  • Used Lexus - A New Supercar Contender
    [Automotive] Supercars are fast. They are exciting. They claw their way to the front of the race and battle to stay there. With massive engines and even more massive torque, these are the stylish purring beasts that can keep car enthusiasts talking for weeks. What they are not, however, are Lexus'.


  • Used Mercedes Benz - The Luxurious Business Car For You
    [Automotive] If you have been looking for a well respected line of cars with a beautiful executive design, then the Mercedes Benz range is perfect for you. With luxury business interiors but potential to fit your family in some of the models, the brand has managed to provide something useful and comfortable (as well as imminently desirable) for every buyer.


  • Car Dealers - Put Some Thought Into Your New Car Purchase
    [Automotive] Buying a car is often the most expensive purchase that a person will make, besides the expense of buying a home. Unlike your home, your vehicle doesn't appreciate in value. Instead, it loses marketability as soon as you purchase it. This makes it even more important to put some thought into your new car purchase. Luckily, car dealers have the expertise necessary to make sure that you find the type of car that you want in the price range that you need.


  • Car Dealers - Visit Your Local Dealer For Used Car Offers
    [Automotive] Most people are aware that a vehicle loses value as soon as it is driven off the showroom floor. While most people can't get by without reliable transportation, your vehicle can't really considered an investment. More people than ever are taking advantage of the benefits of buying used. Car dealers have some of the best deals of used cars and buyers can benefit from visiting their local dealer even if their budget doesn't allow for a new vehicle, fresh off the showroom floor.


  • Car Dealers - Find the Right Dealers For You
    [Automotive] When you start the process of buying a car, there are many things to take into consideration. Your price range is an immediate factor, but you also likely have personal preferences and an idea of what you would like from car dealers. Your dealer can make sure that you get exactly what you are looking for, while providing service that is beyond expectations. However, to find the right dealer, you need to know what to look for.


  • Used Mercedes Benz - The Pleasure of Driving the E-Class
    [Automotive] The world is full of cars that are built for function, with plenty of boot space and child locks. It is also full of cars that are built to be brilliant cars, with fast engines, expensive wheels and a speedy drive. What the world isn't full of, however, is cars that seem to be designed for you, and for you alone. These cars are the ultimate in luxury and keep you in exactly the manor to which you are accustomed, and they fit your needs perfectly.


  • Car Dealers - Do You Want to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint?
    [Automotive] Car sharing, recycling, buying environmentally friendly products and 'switching off' are all becoming the norm these days and are not just reserved for the eco-warrior hippy types of days gone by. People are quickly realising the need to reduce carbon emissions, slow global warming and reduce what goes in to our poor landfill sites. Individuals that may be aware of this are your local car dealers.


  • Used Ferrari - Still Selling Consistently
    [Automotive] With the current economic crisis continuing to unfold and lead many of us to the poorhouse, you wouldn't be blamed for expecting to see a significant drop in the number of sports cars and prestige cars sold around the world. However, it would appear that sales of these car models have remained fairly consistent especially in the used sector. The question is; why are members of the public opting to buy used sports cars instead of new models?


  • Renault Dealer - Make Sure You Choose the Right One
    [Automotive] There are few vehicles in the world today that have as storied a history across Europe as the Renault. Founded in the late 1890s, Renault has set the stage for many car companies that came later. Pioneering superior engineering, craftsmanship and design, there are few vehicles -- and car companies -- that can even begin to compare to the superiority of a Renault.


  • Renault Dealer - A Reputation For Reliability & Durability
    [Automotive] When it comes to purchasing a new car, many millions of people choose the Renault due to its superior engineering, stylish design and a century long reputation for reliability and durability in the car world. Therefore, when the desire to purchase a car of this calibre strikes, you want to make sure that the Renault dealer you choose to provide your new vehicle, has just as good of a reputation as the car itself.


  • Renault Dealer - A Guide to Choosing Additional Options
    [Automotive] One of the most exciting and fun times that you can experience is going to buy a new Renault. The thrill of the test drive as you try to decide on just the right vehicle for your needs. That new car smell that envelops you in the excitement of your purchase. And who could forget the fun of picking out the perfect parts and accessories for your new car so you can enjoy all the things in life that you want, and have the perfect car to help you do it.


  • Renault Dealers - The Forefront of European Motor-Works
    [Automotive] The craftsmanship and ingenuity of the Renault automobile has been at the forefront of European motor-works since 1899, and as such, when you are in the market for one of the most reliable cars on the market, you want to make sure the Renault dealer that you choose will be able to offer you the services you deserve. First and foremost, the dealer should have a wide selection of vehicles from which to choose.


  • Car Dealers - Making Your Car Search Simpler
    [Automotive] Buying a new car can be hard work if you are not properly prepared. There are many Car Dealers in the UK and you do not want to have to go from dealer to dealer trying to find the car that you want, instead you should start by doing your research online and narrow down the car dealers with the best deals on the type of vehicle that you want.


  • Car Dealers - It's Easier to Save Money Than You Think
    [Automotive] Purchasing a new car can be very exciting, especially if you are considering purchasing a luxury vehicle or a sports car. However, these are typically pricey vehicles and as such it is very important that you visit several Car Dealers before making your luxury or sports car purchase.


  • Car Dealers - Why Doing Your Research is Vital
    [Automotive] Buying a new or used vehicle can be an exciting experience; there is something really special about driving your new to you vehicle off of the Car Dealers car lot. However, with so many options available to you when it comes to purchasing a new to you vehicle, it is important that you have an idea of what you want before you visit a car dealer and that you know what to look for in that vehicle as well as have a list of questions to ask about the vehicle before you make your purchase.


  • Used Bentley - A Rather Costly Used Car!
    [Automotive] Some people would question the logic behind spending over 50,000 pounds on a used car, but then again the used cars I am talking about aren't just any normal cars. Prestige and luxury used vehicles are a arguably a cut above the models that you would normally see crowding a dealer's forecourt, but the same concerns still apply regardless of the badge on the front of the vehicle. These concerns include; how the car has been driven by the previous owner, is there a full service history and has it ever been involved in any kind of serious accident.


  • Car Dealers - An Online Presence is Vital
    [Automotive] What do you think of when you hear Car Dealers? Do you see a supermarket full of cars? Then you would be correct. You can go to a location and shop for a used car just as you go to the store to buy groceries. The same convenience of going to a supermarket is found in shopping for your car.


  • Ford Mondeo - The Perfect Family Car
    [Automotive] If you're looking for a family car, the Ford Mondeo offers some great features to help make life a little easier. Combining space, style and technology, the Ford Mondeo is powerful but practical.


  • Ford Mondeo - A Great Experience Behind the Wheel
    [Automotive] The Ford Mondeo is not only a sleek and powerful car, but it's also an intelligent one. Filled with dozens of standard and optional gadgets, the Ford Mondeo recaptures the fun and ease of driving.


  • Ford Mondeo - Spacious & Powerful
    [Automotive] If you're looking for a family car, the Ford Mondeo is one of the best on the market. Each of its seven models are spacious, intelligent, powerful and great looking. Featuring Ford's smooth and dynamic Kinetic design, they look powerful but classical.


  • Ford Mondeo - Choose Your Style Carefully
    [Automotive] Deciding to buy a Ford Mondeo is the easy part. Choosing which model, style and optional extras to go for is where things start to get tricky. The problem is that there's just so much choice.


  • Used Maserati - A Great High Powered Sports Car
    [Automotive] Owning a huge-engined high powered sports car is a wonderful thing. The drive is incredible, making even the most boring roads into speedy wild-tempered dream highways - especially if the car is really good. The comfort too is generally unbeatable, with motor companies fighting each other to produce cars that really scream privilege from the rooftops.


  • Used Maserati - The Automatic Does All the Hard Work For You
    [Automotive] Maserati have realised that sometimes what people want to drive is a stunning behemoth with a mighty engine that does most of the hard work for you. The result of these ponderings has to have been the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic, a deliciously easy to drive Automatic transmission that still has a sport attitude and healthy enthusiasm.


  • New Renault - The New Models Are Affordable & Attractive
    [Automotive] Renault has been famous for creating vehicles that are reliable and dependable and very fuel efficient. The New Renault line does not disappoint in any of those areas. All of the new cars they've manufactured over the last year have been above industry standards in safety and in fuel efficiency. Renault has given us a line of new cars that are driver friendly, affordable and very attractive to the eye, this is a line that they can be very proud of.


  • New Renault - The Stylish New Scenic
    [Automotive] The New Renault Scenic is a stylish addition to the Renault auto family. It's brought a fresh look to the compact MPV segment of the car industry, offering a sporty look that brings to mind the Renault Megane Coupe. Both the Scenic and the Grand Scenic are considered great driving vehicles, have a nice interior design concept and are a really good value. The ultimate family car that still offers a nice sporty look, the Scenic is an ideal option for many drivers.


  • New Renault - The Koleos is a New & Interesting Addition
    [Automotive] Renault is well known for manufacturing different and interesting vehicles. The recent addition of their first cross over model, the New Renault Koleos continues that tradition. The Koleos is the first attempt at a SUV for the Renault company and even though it's taken a little extra time, the waiting has been worth while. The Koleos is a quality vehicle that has a lot to offer. It's well made, affordably priced and is one of the best new SUVs on the market today.


  • New Renault - Why the Clio is One of the Best Superminis
    [Automotive] The New Renault Clio is considered to be one of the best mini's on the market. It comes in a 5 door model that is quite spacious and roomy and a smaller sportier 3 door hatch back model. Both feel and ride like much bigger cars. The Clio is a very sturdy, driver friendly car that offers surefooted road handling even at higher speeds and through different terrains. The new Clio has a lot to offer in a small, sleek stylish package.


  • Car Dealers - How the Scrappage Scheme Will Save Them
    [Automotive] The bustling automotive industry is being hit at the centre of the heart, their very purpose - to sell swanky, steamy cars that will be handed over to a carer who will give it lots of love and attention, increasing their sales and status as the essential key for keeping their body in shape. Although, without nourishing sales, their body is falling apart, which is where the magical Scrappage scheme drives right on by, fueling the body with appropriate resources to stay healthy.


  • Car Dealers - The Scrappage Scheme Explained
    [Automotive] Heard about the scrappage scheme yet? My local car dealer is participating and if you are thinking about getting a new car anytime soon, then it would definitely be beneficial for you to find out whether yours is too. During this economic downturn, the scrappage scheme is a brilliant tool for...


  • Car Dealers - How to Buy From Them
    [Automotive] With these hard economic times, many people are deciding to pass on a brand new car and get a used one instead. There are many good used Car Dealers out there. However, there are also some bad ones. Some people may be afraid that buying from a used car lot would be almost the same as falling for a scam, but that's not the case. There are more good dealers than bad, but you do need some tips to make sure you get the best end of the deal.


  • Car Dealers - Do Your Research Before Visiting One
    [Automotive] Its inevitable, everyone has to buy a new car eventually. Some people prefer to buy them from ads in the newspaper, while others like to buy from used car dealers. The vast majority of people however, buy a car from new Car Dealers. There are some tips to avoid getting in over your head or being pressured into a car that you don't really like.


  • Used Mercedes Benz - Getting on the Car Efficiency Bandwagon
    [Automotive] As we all know, the ozone layer and its associated keywords are fast becoming an obsession in the world of motoring, and indeed in all other industries as well. And with good reason too - we are fast running out of gas and oil, and are contributing to global warming at a rate that we are having real trouble reversing. Perhaps more relevantly, being inefficient with our fuel costs us ever increasing amounts of money - money that we would very much like to keep in our bank accounts rather than spending.


  • Used Mini - A New Look & A New Image
    [Automotive] The Mini as a brand has undergone a massive series of changes in the past few years. What was once a tiny iconic car, back in the swinging sixties, is now rebranded as a compact yet spacious supermini. This hatchback retains that same stylish and famous Mini shape whilst trying to add a hefty dose of modern features and easy comfort to make the ride a little less bumpy.


  • Used Mini - You Either Love it Or Hate it!
    [Automotive] Opinion is divided - should the brand new and brilliantly shiny Mini Cooper be loved or hated? People the world over seem to treat this newly rejuvenated brand just a little bit like Marmite. You either love it, desperately, or you hate it with a passion. But what is the objective consensus of this supermini in comparison with its little iconic forefather - does it beat the old, or is the new a failed attempt at improvement?


  • Used Mini - 50 Years Old & Still Going Strong
    [Automotive] You wouldn't believe it. That iconic car design, the Mini, has now been gracing the mean streets of Britain for 50 years. It may seem like time has just zoomed by, but it is undeniable - that once revolutionary design is now, believe it or not, an old one.


  • Car Dealers - Tips on How to Choose the Right One
    [Automotive] When its time to buy a new car, many people just go to the nearest dealership or the one they have the most experience with. Car Dealers have a few common characteristics that can vary widely from location to location. Many dealerships have different stock, both in the number of vehicles on hand and the model of vehicle. Another difference is the current specials. Some dealers can perform certain repairs and routine maintenance, while others have different amenities offered. The biggest difference of course is reputation.


  • Car Dealers - Use the Financial Crisis to Your Advantage
    [Automotive] The financial crisis, although not nearly as bad as it was in previous months, is still affecting all of us. Petrol prices are very up and down (unfortunately mostly up), and some businesses are only just holding on by their unfortunate fingernails, including car dealers and showrooms in some areas.


  • Used Lexus - Find the Right Model For You
    [Automotive] If you are looking to buy a top class car with more than a little bit of sex appeal, then you could be forgiven for dreaming of owning a swish and smooth Lexus. As the classy younger sister of that oh-so-reliable brand, Toyota, Lexus have spent the past few decades building themselves a reputation regarding middle of the range cars with style and pizazz.


  • Used Lexus - Power and Speed Combined
    [Automotive] Who says your car had to be big to be powerful? Once upon a time American muscle cars may have been the meat on the bones of the car market, but thankfully times have changed. We no longer rely on having a huge beast of a car, complete with humongous wheels and a body to boot, in order to experience the torque and pull of a truly powerful drive.


  • Used Mini - A Truly Iconic Brand
    [Automotive] The world s full of brand names that are so familiar to us it seems we have known about them since the day we were born. Coca Cola, Pepsi, Microsoft. Some of these are huge conglomerates, whereas others are simply items or products that have inspired the nation for years. The delicious Mars bar, Marmite, Fairy liquid. In the motor industry, there is one iconic brand that stands head and shoulders above the rest - the MINI.


  • Vauxhall Corsa - Practical, Economical & Fun to Drive
    [Automotive] For anybody saying the Vauxhall Corsa is girlie in anyway, well to put it frankly you're wrong. The car's appearance is far more masculine than many other supermini cars already on the market. Its newly designed lustrous lines have improved its appearance tenfold from the boxy look it had a few years ago.


  • Vauxhall Corsa - A Far Cry From Other Small Cars
    [Automotive] So, what can I tell you about the new Vauxhall Corsa? Well I can tell you I was pleasantly surprised with its driving performance and the amount of space in the back! It's quite a nippy car which I found unexpectedly comfortable. This is a far cry from certain small cars I have previously owned which I have driven countless number of times up and down the motorway.


  • Used Mercedes Benz - A Brief History of an Iconic Brand
    [Automotive] Some brand names in the auto industry are so much a part of our culture that we don't even have to learn them. Instead, they are already stored deep in our brains, along with snippets of information and associations that tell us just what to think when we hear their name. Mercedes Benz is one such brand, immediately bringing to mind that iconic logo, and reminding me of those luxurious Kompressors and absurdly elegant chauffeur driven saloons.


  • Used Maserati - The Beautiful Grancabrio
    [Automotive] Maseratis, masters of the race car, have long been known for producing stunning cars, packed with dozens of curves and so keen that they were practically addicted to the road. They were a brand born from Formula One, competing with the other big names like Ferrari and Lamborghini to produce super speedy supercars that could spin their drivers around the track in the blink of an eye.


  • Used Maserati - The Perfect Car For Driving in the Countryside
    [Automotive] Driving through British countryside villages, you could be forgiven for expecting to cross paths with a beast of a tractor, or even a combine harvester if you are lucky. More often than not, however, these huge creatures are confined to their fields, and Britain's luxury car owners are really the owners of the expensive rural paradise. The bonus of this, of course, is that a quick drive through some of these quaint villages will expose you to some lovely examples of luxury car workmanship.


  • Used Volvo - Tips For Buying One
    [Automotive] Although buying a used Volvo can save you a lot of money over buying a new one, there are some things you should look into before purchasing one in order to limit the chances that you end up making a bad deal. With a little research before the purchase you are likely to get a better car.


  • Used Porsche - How to Get the Most Out of Yours
    [Automotive] There are some cars which have been manufactured with a particular destiny in mind for them. This could be to be driven every single day and accrue hundreds of thousands of miles before finally giving up on life and grinding to a halt on the hard shoulder of the motorway. Adversely there are some cars that will be lovingly looked after, spending the majority of their days covered by a dustsheet in somebody's garage. When you buy yourself a Porsche 911, you can be sure that it is going to be in the latter camp rather than the former.


  • Used SEAT & The Power of Branding
    [Automotive] I have been quite interested in the power of branding and brand quality when it comes to the purchasing of new and used cars. It would appear that the kudos attached to the badge on the front of the car is more important to some prospective buyers than the engine specs, reliability factors, safety rating or any other myriad of attributes. The question is why a badge matters so much to some people.


  • Vauxhall Corsa - A Great Value Car
    [Automotive] As you may be aware, it seems people have less money over the past year or so available to spend especially on new cars. Petrol prices seem to increase on a daily basis so it comes as no surprise consumers are looking to purchase cheaper cars. These cars which are more reasonably priced seem to be smaller cars. Vauxhall has definitely benefited from being a brand that offers great value for money with other car manufacturers like Mercedes that are perceived as offering quality rather than value for money. Of course it all depends on what you are looking for in a car.


  • Used Volvo - The Best Way to Buy One
    [Automotive] Depending on your personality and your likes and dislikes, finding a new car can be either a chore or an adventure. However, everyone needs to go through this process from time to time. Maybe you're searching just because your car is getting old and worn out, or maybe because your car no longer works at all. Some people just like to get a different car for a change. Suppose you want to get a used Volvo, and are wondering the best way to go about it. Well, these days you have a number of different options.


  • Used Volvo - As Good As New Models
    [Automotive] Sometimes you need a new car, but you just can't afford to purchase one that is brand new, at least not in the make and model that you are looking for. One thing that can easily be done to solve this problem is to look through the listings for used cars. This is a good idea for cars that tend to hold up well over time, such as a used Volvo. You can get a slightly used car for a lot less than a new one, and lots of times they are still almost as good as new, with just a few kilometres on them.


  • Used Volvo - The Advantages of Owning One
    [Automotive] Although some people prefer to have a brand new car that is made to order especially for them with all the latest features, there are also advantages to buying a car that has been previously owned. Say you want to purchase a Volvo, there are a number of advantages to buying a used Volvo instead of a new Volvo, so you should consider these before deciding whether to go the new or the used route.


  • Car Dealers - How Will Renault's Electric Car Change the Market
    [Automotive] Renault is awaiting a sun rise to elevate over its production line. A sun rise that will spark off vitality and endeavour to bring about a change in Renaults sales, a change that could promote a flourish within the car dealer, or that could cause a staggering downfall in expectations. After much consideration and head strong collaboration, Renault can now publish that their electric concepts that were show roomed at this year's Frankfurt motor show have the all clear and will be paraded around the automotive industry in less than two years.


  • Car Dealers - How Toyotas Are Back on the Rise
    [Automotive] Here's a story car dealers should read. One month, Toyota's sales were floating on a monotonous lake that kept bumping into dead ends. The sales manager of this one particular company had an idea and decided to gather up his flock to discuss incentives and boost up their determination as sales representatives.


  • Car Dealers - How the Chrysler-Fiat Deal Will Affect Them
    [Automotive] In about five year's time, car dealers will experience a booming change in the industry. By 2014, it is predicted that 56 per cent of Chrysler's will have evolved from Fiats. If you aren't currently a big fan of Fiats, supposedly this transformation may have to wash a wave of renewal over you.


  • Vauxhall Corsa - Great Practicality
    [Automotive] The new Vauxhall Corsa certainly looks the part particularly with its newly designed sleek exterior but does it drive as well as it looks? Unfortunately the 1.0 litre three-cylinder is sluggish considering it takes 17 seconds to reach 0-60.


  • Used Toyota - Try Before You Buy
    [Automotive] Trying it before you buy it is never a more important concept than when it comes to buying a used vehicle. Though the car may be new to you, you have to keep in mind that it did have a previous owner -- and in some cases, it may have had more than one -- and therefore has the potential to be a giant money pit requiring repairs that you never even knew existed. This is because every person drives their cars in very distinct manners that are representative of their own personalities, as well as the very real fact that the previous owner(s) may not have kept the vehicle on any kind of required or recommended scheduled maintenance program -- like getting the oil changed every 3,000 miles, among other things.


  • Used Toyota - One of the Most Popular Used Vehicles Around
    [Automotive] Quality: defined by Merriam-Webster as "a degree of excellence; a distinguishing attribute; and essential character"... all of which describe the automobiles that the Toyota car company produces without flaw. Quality: such a simple word with such a powerful impact. One word that can sum up the superior engineering, superb design and exceptional reliability and safety that every model in the Toyota family has to offer. For these reasons, as well as the ability for a Toyota to maintain its resale value across the board, the most popular type of vehicle that people purchase used, is a used Toyota -- which model they purchase is also quite telling.


  • Used Toyota - Retains a High Resale Value
    [Automotive] For the many millions of people in the market to buy an automobile, one of the most common approaches is to purchase a used car that has been thoroughly checked out by a licensed mechanic in order to locate and repair any potential maintenance problems. The reason that used vehicles are so popular is because they are often more inexpensive than there brand new counterparts. However, do not let the lower price tag fool in to thinking you are getting some kind of sub par vehicle, some of the most popular autos on the road today are purchased as used vehicles, specifically because of their superb engineering and design which helps them retain not only their resale value, but all of the qualities as a used car they had when they were brand new.


  • Used Toyota - Perfect For Even the Most Maintenance Negligent Owner
    [Automotive] There are many reasons that people choose a used Toyota when they are looking to either purchase a new (to them) vehicle or to add another car to the family, perhaps for a child to drive or as a much needed second car if two people are going to work. The primary reason people choose a Toyota is because of their solid reliability and their reputation as being well built automobiles. When choosing a used car, this is incredibly important because you definitely do not want to find yourself driving along and all of a sudden breaking down because the car was not properly cared for.


  • Used Porsche - Pushing Science to the Limit
    [Automotive] The Porsche 911 GT3 epitomises the Porsche legend that has dominated the world of sports cars for 40 years - fiercely fast and furious. Exemplifying a combination of form and function, with a driving experience that is acutely intense and all consuming, it is sure to satisfy any supercar fanatic. Its six-cylinder rear engine allows for 320 kW of power and an impressive top speed of 312 km/h.


  • Used BMW - A Combination of Style & Comfort
    [Automotive] When it comes to choosing the perfect prestige saloon car these days there is a great deal of choice out there and there are also a lot of factors to take into consideration. There is the matter of finding a car that looks prestigious and luxurious for business matters that also have all the comfort and space required for family trips out. Having traveled a great deal in saloon cars I can testify to the fact that this amalgamation of style and comfort isn't as easy to find as you would expect. One of the cars I would recommend looking at would be one of the German prestige saloons that have steadily risen in popularity over the past decade or so.


  • Used Smart - Made For City Driving
    [Automotive] One thing you will notice about any of the Used Smart cars that you may consider purchasing is that the car is very small. When they were first introduced to the market, they were often compared to toy cars. It's true that the Smart is cute and sweet looking and it does look like something a child should be peddling about in the garden. But, as with a lot of things, looks can be deceiving. These cars are made for driving, they handle well, they are fast and even though they are made for city driving, they do well on the open highway too.


  • Car Dealers - Take a Look at the Renault Espace Special Edition
    [Automotive] A family car with a quirky twist, a practical people carrier with a little more than your usual amounts of panache. The Renault Espace (2006 Globe Ellen MacArthur special edition) is a celebration of the sailing achievements of Dame Ellen MacArthur, who sailed solo, non-stop around the world in less than seventy-two days. The partnership between her Offshore Challenges Sailing Team and those in charge of the Renault Espace was born in 2003, and has been going strong ever since.


  • Used Dodge - Destined to Become an Icon
    [Automotive] You shouldn't always assume the name on a car is a short, snappy way of describing to a prospective owner what you'll be in for if you part with your cash. The Skoda Superb, for example, is so far away from being superb that trading standards should get involved. The Nissan Sunny was a popular car throughout the eighties and nineties but owning one would make a cloud of depression gather overhead faster than you could ask for your money back. Being used to this, Dodge's newest project being called the Demon was cause for concern.


  • Used Chrysler - A Classy Saloon at a Great Price
    [Automotive] There's something to be said for finding a bargain that really pays off. Whether it's an item of clothing that your friends think cost far more than it actually did, or finding a long-lost film in the bargain bin section of a shop for pennies, the warm feeling of satisfaction is a welcome one. Certain cars fall into this category too, especially if you're buying used. Chrysler, Hyundai and Skoda all offer fantastic cars for very little money.


  • Used Volkswagen - Now is a Great Time to Buy a Used Polo
    [Automotive] There is a great deal of competition in the super mini sector of the automotive industry at the moment. Every single manufacturer seems to be releasing their take on what they consider to be the perfect super mini. Even prestige super car manufacturers like Aston Martin are developing small hatchbacks at the moment. This influx of new models means there is a lot of choice for the discerning small car buyer at the moment. It also means that the previous models that will begin appearing on the used market will be at very attractive price points indeed.


  • Used Volkswagen - A Great First Car For Young Drivers
    [Automotive] The news that a son or daughter has just passed their driving test can be a simultaneously joyous and nerve-wracking occasion for parents. Firstly, you feel joy and pride that your offspring has successfully passed a test that will set them up for life and has achieved something very important.

However, when I was shopping around for a used car recently I had no intention of coming home with anything less than total perfection. I was looking for a used sports car.


  • Used Maserati - Affordable and Practical
    [Automotive] If you ask a group of people what their dream car is, you are likely to hear a very wide range of responses. There will be sports cars mentioned, along with saloons, 4X4 vehicles and classic roadsters. One type of car that is unlikely to be mentioned in this conversation would be the family hatchback. This is primarily because family hatchback cars are designed to be practical and affordable. The notion of 'dream cars' is to be free with your imagination and to dispense with the realities of everyday life.


  • Used Bentley - The Ultimate Fantasy Car?
    [Automotive] In the office where I work, there is always a great deal of conversations regarding everybody's favourite cars. A good proportion of the people asked retort with the more obvious answers such as "Ferrari 599", "Porsche 911" or even the much clichéd "Bugatti Veyron" (just because it is the most powerful car ever made). However, one of the answers that I overheard was rather different to the others; somebody said "The Bentley Continental GT Coupe".


  • Used Bentley - How to Buy One For an Affordable Price
    [Automotive] When it comes to choosing the ultimate in prestige saloons, there really are no manufacturers that can do what Bentley do. The Bentley Continental GT Coupe has the unique distinction of being incredibly classy, extremely luxurious, but also being able to go as fast as a bolt of lightning. The only drawback would be the price, as a 6 Litre V8 Engine, leather interior and complete infotainment system rarely come cheap. There are ways that you can significantly reduce the price however.


  • Used Porsche - My Sports Car OF Choice
    [Automotive] I am unashamedly a fan of sports cars, which in essence can be a pretty expensive hobby compared to collecting stamps or model trains. So if you are interested in owning a sports car, the vast majority of us will only be able to afford just the one.


  • Used Lexus - An Affordable Luxury Saloon
    [Automotive] There are plenty of prestige car manufacturers vying with each other for total dominance in the luxury saloon market at the moment and if you are currently considering buying one, it can be a pretty confusing market to be browsing. Amongst the established European brands producing luxury saloons such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz, there are plenty of outside contestants with Maserati, Saab and Jaguar weighing in with their best attempts.


  • Used Jeep - A Great Used 4X4 Vehicle
    [Automotive] In terms of quality 4X4 vehicles in Britain, it seems like Land rover have dominated the market for a while. If anybody wants a luxurious 4X4 vehicle capable of taming even the roughest terrain, they tend to go straight for the Land Rover purely out of habit it would seem. However, there is an emerging 4X4 force that could conceivably take the wind out of the sails of all the competition. The only strange thing about this is that it isn't a new manufacturer with an array of fancy new models, in fact it is the brand that kicked the whole 4X4 trend off in the first place. I speak, of course, of Jeep.


  • Used Rolls Royce - How Has Different Ownership Changed It?
    [Automotive] The emblem that adorns the bonnet of all Rolls Royce models is called the 'Spirit Of Ecstasy' and I for one can really think of no better tribute to one of the all time greatest car manufacturers ever. As the Rolls Royce brand is over a century old (103 years to be exact) there can be no doubt that models such as the Phantom have truly become integral parts of automotive history, shaping and revolutionising what is possible in prestige vehicles.


  • Used Ferrari - Your Childhood Dream Car Made Affordable
    [Automotive] It is a fact that the vast majority of us will never get to drive the car of our dreams. For 95% of us the posters of supercars and all manner of huge, powerful automobiles of all shapes and sizes that hung as posters on our walls as kids will never amount to anything more than childish fantasy.


  • Used MINI - How Has it Remained So Popular?
    [Automotive] In terms of vehicle lifespan, most models and derivations can expect anything up to a decade in the limelight before being superseded by newer, more "modern" models. These older models are then consigned to the history books and slowly forgotten about; seldom remarked upon ever again. However, there is one car model which refuses to die and be forgotten, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year.


  • Used Land Rover - Suitable For Everyone Regardless of Class
    [Automotive] In terms of the best possible 4X4 of choice, there has only been one name on the lips of the buying public for over the past decade; Land Rover. In performance tests they are second to none, outstripping the competition at every turn. In commercial terms they have achieved what none of the competition have been able to do and that is to find the balance between rugged, all terrain machismo and the opulent luxury of a prestige saloon.


  • Used MINI - Preferable to the New Model?
    [Automotive] I cannot quite believe that the MINI is 50 years old this year and is still looking as revolutionary and stylish as it did when it first rolled out of the factory doors. However, it is almost a decade since production ceased at the hallowed Longbridge factory near Birmingham, England. Since then, the legacy of the MINI has been firmly in the hands of BMW and they have put their own unique spin on what they consider to be the perfect MINI. So in a contest between the two MINI incarnations, which one is best?


  • Used Ferrari - The Perfect 'Track Day' Car
    [Automotive] As the car expert amongst my friends there is always one question that gets asked more than any other; if you can only travel at a maximum of 70MPH on the roads of great Britain, why do car manufacturers keep engineering cars that can flagrantly beat this speed limit with little or no effort? In other words, what is the point in fast and powerful cars when they are never going to be put to the test?


  • Used MINI - Performance at the Expense of Character?
    [Automotive] It takes quite a lot for cars to reach an iconic status these days. If cars don't have a worthy lineage or heritage to speak of, then they have to provide something a little more spectacular on the roads than most. One car that has cemented its place in the history books as one of the most iconic cars of all time surely has to be the MINI Cooper. The question is; is it actually worthy of such reputation and popularity?


  • A Used Land Rover - You Will Be Impressed With Its Capabilities
    [Automotive] There seems to have been a drastic shift in the sort of people who drive Land Rover models over the past decade or so. Before the boom of affluence in the Nineties, the Land Rover was the sole preserve of the working class, making the lives of farmers and other agricultural workers a lot easier by affording them the ability the traverse even the roughest of landscapes and environments.


  • Used Porsche - There is No Greater Thrill
    [Automotive] There are some vehicles which make you very glad to have gone through all the effort of attaining your driving licence. Unfortunately, the truly marvelous cars that are to be experienced are generally all a little bit out of the average person's wage bracket. However, if you ever get the chance, I can recommend no greater thrill than getting behind the wheel of a Porsche 911.


  • Used Maserati - Find a Supercar Bargain!
    [Automotive] It can be argued that very few of us get to ever sit inside what you would consider to be a supercar, let alone become the proud owner of one. There are a few major reasons why many of us don't buy supercars and it is these reasons that fundamentally hold us back from experiencing what it is like to get behind the wheel of a car that is truly phenomenal in every single way.


  • Used Jaguar - A Reliable Signifier of Wealth
    [Automotive] I am incredibly interested in the kind of 'socio-signifiers' that cars have become. Once upon a time a person's wealth could be entirely determined by judging the amount of land they owned; now there is a veritable plethora of ways that these judgements can be made. The first one that springs to mind is most certainly the car someone drives. The very pinnacle of wealth would be displayed by ownership of a car with prestige, luxury and an iconic badge. I can think of no car that fulfils these criteria better than Jaguar cars.


  • Honda Jazz - A Great Car For Safety
    [Automotive] When buying a car, there are many things to consider. One of the first things that a customer will notice is the shape, look and feel of the body. Usually, if a consumer does not like the look of the vehicle, they will not buy the car. Reliability, handling, and safety are also some of the biggest factors when thinking of buying a car. The Honda Jazz is quickly becoming one of the best, if not the best car in it's class because it is outperforming in all these ares, especially the area of safety.


  • Honda Jazz - A Great Supermini Option
    [Automotive] When thinking of getting a car for travel in the UK, one of the main factors to consider is the size of the car. Most people driving in the UK appreciate a car that is small in size, a super mini. There are some options that have recently come into the market. One of them is the Honda Jazz. The reason this car is becoming a great choice over some of the competitors is because it has a sleek look that appeals to the younger generation, it handles well even on the motorway, and it is know for reliability and safety.


  • Honda Jazz - Why Get Into the Mini Car Market?
    [Automotive] The super mini car market has been dominated by three big car companies for the last decade. And while the Ford, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen all deliver a great product. They haven't seen anything until they see the brand new Honda Jazz. For years Honda has proven itself as the most reliable car company on the planet. There is no denying that these vehicles are not only well worth their sticker price, but will be around for a very long time. It are these two factors that make this brand so worth while. So why get into the mini car market?


  • Honda Jazz - Ready to Take on the Competition
    [Automotive] For many choosing which type of car to drive says a lot about who their are. However, because of the economy and the price of fuel continuing to escalate, there are more and more people resorting to purchasing smaller vehicles that will not only save them money, but will also emit fewer emissions and make the world a better place. All of that is fine, but if the car looks ridiculous it is not going to be chosen by the masses. For the past 10 years there have been three major players in the mini car market. Fod, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen have dominated the scene. Now comes the Honda Jazz as the new player that is ready to take on the pack.


  • Used Honda - The S2000 May Be Gone, But Not Forgotten
    [Automotive] Would you believe that the Honda S2000 is a decade old and is still yet to receive the recognition that it deserves for being one of the best quality sports roadsters currently available in Britain or any other country you would care to mention? After a decade of being largely ignored in favour of lesser production cars like the Mazda MX-5 and RX-8, production of the Honda S2000 ceased earlier this year. I for one would count myself as one of the chief mourners of this oft-looked over example of automotive genius.


  • VW Polo - A Very Influential Car
    [Automotive] When offered a chance to write a piece on any car that had shaped and influence many different economies around the world, I was tempted to write about the standards that many others before me had written about. Then I stopped for a moment and really examined some of the other types of cars out there that were forgotten. As I stood in front of a library of vehicles, one of the ones that begged, pleaded, and cajoled me to tell its story was the VW Polo. As I pulled the information out on this compact piece of history I was blown away by how much of our driving economy was influenced by this car and what it had done for us.


  • VW Polo - A Car With a Great Body
    [Automotive] Everyone loves a car that has a great body. Whether it is a boxy classic style, or the smooth rounded body that people love to run their hands over. It is the very reason that people call cars a "she." When looking at the VW Polo, there are a lot of different body's that have evolved through the years.


  • VW Polo - A Fun Hatchback
    [Automotive] Beauty, style, sleek and swift. These words have been used to describe millions of things in this world. One of the things that the world has seen fit to use these words for collectively is the VW Polo. While many companies will ship out of country to a few different places, this car has been used and adapted to many different countries around the world. Having this car as part of their economy left permanent indents into vehicular history. You can go to just about any country and see this model or an adaptation.


  • VW Polo - Good Things Come in Small Packages
    [Automotive] There was a time when not everything was designed with purpose or only economic value. There was a time when artistic concepts and beauty were the focus for everything, right down to the cars that were being manufactured. One of those vehicles was the VW Polo.


  • Used Volvo - Buying One at an Automotive Auction
    [Automotive] When it comes to purchasing a Volvo, many people these days are opting for a Used Volvo instead of a new one. With so many quality lease returns and trade ins and unfortunately, repossessions, purchasing a used car is a perfect way to get a good vehicle with many years left in it, for a great price. However, these days there are plenty of ways a person can purchase a used car. If you are in the market for a used car, you will do well to find out the places where the best deals can be had on a used car.


  • Used Volvo - Why You Should Buy Online
    [Automotive] When it comes to purchasing a car, most people want a reliable car with good safety features at a price they can afford; and it would be nice if it were something that looks pleasing to them as well. To that end, many people will often turn to a Used Volvo.


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - Has the Power Race Gone Too Far?
    [Automotive] There has been a long-standing war between the three major sports saloon manufacturers in Germany for many decades now, culminating in some of the fastest, stylish and powerful saloon cars possibly imaginable. Every single time either Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz outstrip the other two in terms of BHP, speed or torque, the game is on and doesn't stop until there is a new dominating manufacturer. The question is; at what point do you think they will have gone too far?


  • Used Car Supermarket - A Great Place to Buy Your Next Car
    [Automotive] If you are looking for a car for you and your family one of the best ideas is to visit a used car supermarket to start your search. You can find a great buy on a used car and save yourself a lot of money in the process.


  • Used Dodge - Buying From a Private Seller
    [Automotive] Dodges are known for their reliable nature as well as being one of the top rated vehicles for safety. New Dodges can often be expensive for the average person to own and that is why many people are on the lookout for a Used Dodge as a viable option. While there are many ways one can find a Dodge that is used, one way people often go about this through classified ads and used car publications. However, in order to make sure you are getting the most value when you purchase a Dodge by these means, you should keep a few things in mind.


  • Used Lexus - Buying From Used Dealerships
    [Automotive] The prospect of buying a used car years ago was almost as enjoyable as hearing fingernails run down a chalkboard. That was then and this is now. Today, while the used car lot of old still exists with it slicked back haired, checkered coat wearing salesmen trying and separate you from your hard earned money on a car that is not worthy of holding down your newspaper in a stiff wind, a new way of selling used cars is changing the face of used cars sales.


  • Used Bentley - Stately But Exciting
    [Automotive] In terms of stately vehicles owned by the rich and powerful, there really are only one or two manufacturers or brands that seem to dominate the top choices. In one corner you have the Rolls Royce; dignified, stylish, but perhaps a little too restrained for modern tastes. Then in the opposing corner you have Bentley; bang up to date with everything you could hope for from a prestige automobile and also more exciting than a lot of the competition.


  • Used Chrysler - Proving Globalisation is a Good Thing
    [Automotive] As predicted by many sociologists and socio-economists over the years, Globalisation has indeed spread and has begun to turn our once culturally varied and rich planet into one homogenised glob of identical identities. There appears to be the same fast food restaurants, high street stores and brands in every town and city from Britain to Bombay. On the negative side, Western culture appears to have dominated the more developing countries, turning them into identikit versions of ourselves. On the positive side, it means that we all get to share in the traded goods and experience the best that every country has to offer.


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - They Build the Best Sports Saloons
    [Automotive] As soon as you mention the words "German Sports Saloon", it is rather inevitable that three particular car manufacturers jump into your head. If you have even a cursory knowledge of cars you will automatically be thinking about Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. It is a common held belief that Germany manufacture the best sports saloons in the world, but when faced with the choice of picking one of the three high and mighty exponents of the Germanic Automotive industry, which one should you pick?


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - How Advertising Made Me Buy One
    [Automotive] The car industry has always used advertising to add dimensions of excitement, prestige or performance, even to the dullest cars. In the 1970's some truly awful British cars like the Austin Maxi were draped with supermodels of the day in a desperate attempt to make what was for all intents and purposes a very cheap and nasty car look glamorous. The question is; did it work?


  • Used Car Supermarket - The Best Deals on Used Cars
    [Automotive] Is it time to go out and replace that old car that is wasting your money? If you are putting more money into car repairs then the car is worth, it is time to search for another vehicle. What most people are doing today is going out and taking a trip to the used car supermarket for the best deal on a used car. If you do not want the expense of a new car, a used car is a great alternative. There are many used cars available in the market place and at great prices.


  • Used Land Rover - From Working Class to Middle Class
    [Automotive] In terms of the evolution of the 4X4, there has been a rather definite shift in which social class is best represented by these large vehicles. Up until the early nineties, the 4X4 was seen as an incredibly working class vehicle; providing versatility and power for the agricultural and livestock workers amongst us. Things changed pretty soon after.


  • Used Toyota - An Excellent Car For Your Money
    [Automotive] Have you ever noticed that when you look through the paper at used cars that there aren't a lot of Toyota's. Why do you think that is? The reason why there are very few used Toyota's in the paper is because most people that own a good used Toyota don't want to sell it. Toyota's are such great vehicles that people are pleased with their vehicle and they don't want to sell them.


  • Used Bentley - A Great Used Prestige Car
    [Automotive] In terms of buying prestige cars, there seems to be a completely different attitude to the used market than cars with less prominent badges. The buying public are generally slightly more wary of buying a used Nissan Micra as opposed to a Used Bentley.


  • Used Car Supermarket - Find the Car You Want For a Great Price
    [Automotive] Today it is very common to see a family walk into a used car supermarket and drive out of the lot with a new family car. The convenience of these super stores for used cars has grown in popularity over the past few years. It is now very common to see these types of car dealers replacing the smaller used car lots on the corners of America and other countries as well. They are able to offer so many different models, makes, and years, that it provides an opportunity for every car seeker a chance to find the exact car they want. There is also a wide variety of price ranges to select.


  • Used Car Supermarket - Take Advantage of Great Deals
    [Automotive] The used car supermarket has become the standard of the auto industry these days. It is very consumer friendly for the customer to go right on the lot and find just about any type, model, and year, of car you are in the market for without traveling to several different dealers. The customer likes the idea of being able to do everything in one place. That has helped the popularity of these places and makes it a great deal for the buyer.


  • Used Ferrari - Perfect For Track Day Events
    [Automotive] Now that virtually every race track the length and breadth of the country run track days, there are no limitations on how fast you can drive your car. You simply pay your fee, get in your car and drive. This is fine if you drive a 1.4 litre hatchback, as you are unlikely to get much higher than 100 MPH, but the day I took my friend's Used Ferrari F430 Coupe was a rather different experience indeed.


  • Used Lexus - Reliability is Its Selling Point
    [Automotive] In terms of reliability there are few cars that can even come close to the kind of levels that Lexus have begun to achieve over the past few years. Unlike a lot of executive and sports saloons manufactured around the world, Lexus have devoted a great deal of time and energy on ensuring that the development and engineering of their cars is second to none.


  • Used MINI - How BMW Has Changed the Mini Brand
    [Automotive] It has to be said that Great Britain don't manufacture many mass-produced automobiles anymore, which is a great shame as some of the greatest names and brands in automotive history have been dreamt of and founded on these fair Isles. Amongst this pantheon of names are Rolls Royce, Bentley and Jaguar; all now either bought or outsourced by overseas companies in Germany and India. However, amongst the great lost prestige British car manufacturers of the past lies a rather cheaper jewel in the crown that won't be forgotten in a hurry. I speak of the Mini Cooper.


  • Used Rolls Royce - The Unmistakable Air of Superiority
    [Automotive] If there is one vehicle that is considered the very pinnacle of wealth, taste and luxury in Great Britain, it simply has to be the Rolls Royce Phantom. Ever since its initial incarnation in 1925, the Rolls Royce Phantom has embarked upon a ceaseless evolution bringing it right up to date with a modern coupe version.


  • Used Volkswagen - The Benefits of Owning One
    [Automotive] Most cars on the road today are simply cars -- functional in their design and utilitarian in their function, they do not command the presence of space nor do they have the essence of performance that is a key factor in some automobiles. In fact, there are few vehicles on the road today that you could point to and say with assurance, "I would like to have one of those".


  • Used Volkswagen - Make Sure You Pay a Fair Price
    [Automotive] When you are in the market for a good, dependable used car that has the mechanical engineering prowess to withstand tens of thousands of miles on the odometer, the elegant and stylish design structure to rival any vehicle maker and the ability to out perform any car in its class, look no further than a used Volkswagen. With a reputation that has been built on solid craftsmanship and steady, uninterrupted performance, the Volkswagen is a vehicle that is at the top of many people's "want to own" list and by buying used, that goal can become a reality for many.


  • Used BMW - Does Owning One Make You a Bad Driver?
    [Automotive] Having conducted a short and rather informal survey of what type of driver do my friends hat e the most, I was quite surprised with the results. Whilst I was expecting to hear the shout s and cat-calls of "aggressive drivers", "Slow drivers" and "People who don't indicate at roundabouts", all I got was a resounding call of "BMW Drivers!" When questioning the group further I discovered that this group of drivers had been singled out as hate figures as for most of the people I was talking to, they encompassed every bad driving trait in one rather annoying package. I decided to get out in my car and do some research of my own.


  • Used Land Rover - A Very Versatile Vehicle
    [Automotive] When it comes to choosing yourself a new vehicle, there are a number of different categories which buyers use to define the right choice for them, the chief few of which being style, speed and practicality. From this list of three considerations I believe there is one important factor missing. For me, the single greatest influence on my new car decision is definitely versatility. For me a car needs to be extremely versatile and easily able to cope with whatever situation Mother Nature, or myself, throws at it.


  • Used Maserati - Where Style, Speed and Practicality Meet
    [Automotive] If there is one criticism that can be firmly leveled at supercars, it can be the one of practicality. If for example you need to do some emergency grocery shopping, there is absolutely no point whatsoever in hopping into your Ferrari 599 and heading out, as you would be extremely luck to fit a banana in the luggage space, never mind a whole week's shopping. The prestige and supercar market have been crying out for a car that can match the owner's aspirations of speed and style, but also provide that certain level of practicality which is sorely missing for the more family-orientated man.


  • Used Porsche - Still a Head Turner!
    [Automotive] I have to concede that in today's modern society, there are very few cars that have the same 'head turning' ability that maybe existed 20 or 30 years ago. These days so many car manufacturers and brands have adopted rather sporty and sleek visages that the average passerby has been subjected to so many faux sports models so many times before even getting to the end of their road. One of the brands that can still guarantee a large amount of attention when driving down the high street is most definitely Porsche.


  • Used BMW - The M5 Beats All Competition
    [Automotive] In the rather saturated sports saloon market, it can be argued that there is no finer example of driving excellence than the ample display of the BMW M5. For a good few years now the M5 has held dominance over practically every other manufacturer competing for a more equal share of the market. In the opinion of both automotive journalists, critics and the buying public, the M5 has seen of all competition including their direct German rivals in Audi and Mercedes Benz.


  • Used Toyota - A Cost Effective Used Car
    [Automotive] When you buy a used car then it's usually as is. That means that whatever problems the car may have, you're on your own to repair them. If you buy a used car from a newspaper listing or on the Internet, then you never know what you're going to get.


  • Used SEAT - A Buyer's Guide
    [Automotive] When you're on your way to work or going on the trip, there is nothing more frustrating than having a car that doesn't run properly. If you do have a car that runs but it sounds and looks like a jalopy, then this could be very embarrassing and bad for business. If this sound like your life, then it might be time to look for something new. Not necessarily new but sometimes used that looks new, can be just as good. If you want to travel in style, then you should look at a Used SEAT.


  • Used SEAT - Why You Should Buy Directly From a Dealer
    [Automotive] In most cases when people want to find a used car, they see what's available in the Nifty Nickel or the want ads. They may look on Craigslist or even on eBay. You could of course do this yourself, but you must be careful. If you want to find a cool specialty car like a Used SEAT, you might want to look at a specialty dealer.


  • Used SEATs - Buying Used Saves You Money
    [Automotive] Most people that need a new set of wheels are looking into buying used instead. With many people out of work and the economy struggling, many people just can't afford to buy used anymore. If you don't want to be ordinary and you want to buy a truly unique car, then you should look at a Used SEAT. No, a used SEAT is not a seat that goes in a car, but an actual car itself.


  • Used Smart Cars - One of the Most Economical Cars Available
    [Automotive] A Used Smart car is more than just a smart choice, it is an extremely intelligent choice. The benefits are numerous for this vehicle and it all begins with cost.


  • Used Smart Cars - An Amazing Little Car
    [Automotive] Have you ever heard the saying that good things come in small packages? That couldn't be a better saying for a Used Smart car. The smart car is an amazing little car that can get you in and out of the city without any worries.


  • Used Toyota - Very Reliable Used Cars
    [Automotive] One of the best cars on the market to buy today is a used Toyota. Toyota's are like the energizer bunny, they just keep running and running. Buying a new car can be very expensive but when you buy used, you never know what kind of shape the car is truly in.


  • Used SEAT - A Unique Used Car
    [Automotive] Most people that need a new set of wheels are looking into buying used instead. With many people out of work and the economy struggling, many people just can't afford to buy used anymore. If you don't want to be ordinary and you want to buy a truly unique car, then you should look at a Used SEAT.


  • Used Smart Cars - A Hot Commodity
    [Automotive] The latest craze in automobiles deals with the supermini cars. They are practical, economical vehicles that can go just about anywhere and fit into just about any parking space. One of the hottest vehicles right now is the smart car and Used Smart cars are a wise purchase.


  • Used Smart Cars - A Practical & Economic Solution
    [Automotive] A Used Smart car is a practical and economical solution to getting you in and around the city without dealing with the headaches typical cars can create. With a smart car, you have the unique ability to park in spaces that most cars, even compact cars, cannot park in. That essentially saves you time and energy.


  • Used Toyota - Great For Young Drivers
    [Automotive] A great car for a teenager's first car is a used Toyota. This is not just because the car is affordable but because they can look nice also.


  • Used Saab - A Mix of Style, Safety and Fun
    [Automotive] What first drew me to buy a used Saab 9-3 Convertible was the fantastic design of this car. It's just stunning, a real head turner. Mine is a 2005 model, though it hardly looks out of place alongside much newer convertibles on the market today. For me, there's nothing like zipping around the countryside in a convertible car on a sunny day, and I think the Saab 9-3 is the best one for the job.


  • Used Saab - Cheaper Than the German Equivalents
    [Automotive] I bought a used Saab 9-5 Turbo Edition 2.3T Estate very recently after reading many an expert review. I wanted a car that felt good to drive and had all the boot space you'd expect of a car of that wears the estate badge. My requirements were simple - I own my own IT repair business and have to cart around a great deal of equipment and tools.


  • Used Dodge - Improving With Age?
    [Automotive] There are three car brands of American origin which have begun to make serious waves in the British car industry over the past couple of years. The brands of which I speak are Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep. The British driving public seem to be neatly split in the middle regarding their opinion of these cars, which is probably both testament to the rather testy relationship the two countries seem to share and the rather differing driving conditions in the separate countries.


  • Used Chrysler - The Positives and Negatives of the American Saloon
    [Automotive] There are some cars that make your heart melt as soon as you see them and you know that you simply must own one at all costs. On the other hand there are cars that don't grab you at all and, if anything, leave you feeling a little bit cold and desperately under-whelmed.


  • Used BMW - Does it Make You a Bad Driver?
    [Automotive] I have been conducting a study into drivers and how the car they own either reflects or is heavily influential upon the manner in which they drive. The best way to explain this is to ask a question; when you are driving down the motorway (or freeway, autobahn or whatever depending where you live) and you see that stereotypical driver who seems to be magnetised to the rear end of your car, what car do they tend to be driving?


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - Why Did They Build a Hatchback?
    [Automotive] If you currently find yourself in the market for a hatchback, then a few choice conclusions can be made about the sort of person you are. Firstly, you want something small and easy to park, so chances are you live either in or close to a populated urban environment. Secondly, speed and performance are probably not your paramount concerns. In fact you are more likely to be interested in how many miles to the gallon you can get and whether your car is going to have environmentally acceptable carbon emission rates.


  • Used Volkswagen - How to Sell Yours
    [Automotive] If you find yourself in the position where you must sell your Volkswagen, there are several things you should take care of before listing your car for sale in order to help you get the best price for your used Volkswagen. Fortunately, just the name alone can fetch a handsome sum as it is synonymous with reliability, performance, durability and near the top of its class as far as vehicles go, used or otherwise. But you can not expect to just get by on the Volkswagen name, especially if you have driven the car to its full potential, you are going to have to do some light maintenance in order to get the car in its best sell-able condition.


  • Used Volkswagen - How to Buy a Great Car
    [Automotive] Being in the market to buy a used Volkswagen is an exciting time. Not only are you going to get a new to you vehicle, but with the Volkswagen reputation, you are going to get a great used car that is reliable, safe and stylish as well -- that is, of course, if the previous owner has taken care of it the way they should have. With this in mind, whether you are going to go to a used car dealer or try to find a private seller, there are a number of things you be thinking about when you go looking to purchase your new used Volkswagen.


  • Used Jaguar - Taking on the BMW M5
    [Automotive] In terms of the sports saloon market over the past few years you would have been quite silly to look any further than the German market, in particular the absolutely outstanding BMW M5 which has been trail-blazing a lead ahead of the likes of Audi and Mercedes-Benz for a great deal of time now. However, there is a rival to the M5's crown that certainly looks like slightly more than just a flash in the pan; the Jaguar XF.


  • Used Honda - Reliability is Their Selling Point
    [Automotive] There are certain cars which accrue huge swathes of fandom by being quick, versatile or impeccably stylish, pulling in the enthused buying public with slick marketing and memorable advertising. However, what do you do if your car brand has none of these aesthetical or clichéd facets to its performance though? What if your car brand has built up an undeniably strong reputation based upon the criminally over-looked principle of reliability? How do you make that look attractive to your potential customers?


  • Used Ferrari - The Affordable Supercar
    [Automotive] In the world of the supercar there are many pretenders to the crown, who are all striving to be considered the fastest, sportiest and most stylish model in their class. Vying and jockeying for position amongst these manufacturers lies the three brands that automatically jump to mind when you think of the word "supercar"; Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari.


  • Used Saab - An Alternative to the German Brands
    [Automotive] I bought a 2007 used Saab 9-3 Saloon a few months ago and I've given it top marks so far. I wanted something large and substantial to follow in the footsteps of my company car, but I wasn't keen to buy one of the German brands you see everywhere these days. For me the Saab is a bit different, and mine stands out among all the BMWs and Audis parked in up and down the rows of the office car park.


  • Used Saab - A Great Choice For Elderly Drivers
    [Automotive] I'm the proud owner of a used Saab 9-3, a 2000 model that I've owned and loved for the past three years. I'm retired and a keen golfer and gardener, so my motivation for buying the Saab was the enormous boot space and also the low loading position which makes life easier for me at my age.


  • Used BMW - A Great Used Car Choice
    [Automotive] Recently, a friend of mine who was searching for an affordable prestige vehicle reacted glibly when I told him that a used BMW would be the ideal option for a classy fella like him. "Aren't they the make of choice for wannabe gangsters?" he suggested. I admit that the association hadn't really crossed my mind, but after watching an episode of Police, Camera, Action his allegation seemed to have some foundation.


  • Used Volvo - My Used Car Recommendation
    [Automotive] When I left school I honestly thought the days of fitting in, or at least trying to fit in with people were over. Don't get me wrong, I loved school and whilst I wasn't the most popular I didn't have my head flushed down the toilet every lunchtime either. A constant playing of football kept me in with the bullies, whilst badly abusing a guitar kept me 'cool' with the arty/intellectual types too. Every day I was used to seeing my form teacher arrive in his Volvo, be unable to explain to the department head why we weren't in registration after he'd seen us hiding in the car park, before lambasting us when he finally did locate us.


  • Used Audi - Which German Car Should You Buy?
    [Automotive] The three most popular prestige saloon manufacturers in Europe are undoubtedly Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. All three of these brands have been rolling out critically lauded models year on year for decades now. The question is; how does the potential customer decide which of these manufacturers to invest in?


  • Used Audi - The Fashionable Used Car Choice
    [Automotive] There seems to be an ongoing war in the fashionable stakes by a few competing car companies recently. The most obvious one to my mind is the one that exists between BMW and Audi. These two German powerhouse (or should that be Powerhaus?) manufacturers have spent the last decade or so competing for the same market share and as a result aren't what you would describe as 'firm friends'.


  • Used Audi - My Audi RS4 Obsession
    [Automotive] For a long time it was regarded that to drive a BMW you had to be an idiot. That's why whenever you saw one they were either tailgating you, speeding past you whilst the driver was chatting on their mobile phone or using their discretion and deciding never to indicate during any maneuvers. Yet times they are a' changing as Mr Dylan taught us. Now to be considered a motoring idiot, get used to being behind the wheel of an Audi.


  • Used Toyota - A Used Car With Affordability Factor
    [Automotive] The measurement of IQ is an oft argued area. Cultural bias plays a large factor in determining accuracy of test results, and there's the whole muddy area of whether universal conditions produce misleading data. If you've ever stared in frustration at a spatial reasoning puzzle, you'll know that the arbitrary nature of many IQ tests can lead to the participant feeling somewhat disparaged...


  • Used Audi - They Conceded the BHP Race
    [Automotive] It has to be said that in Germany there seems to be a great deal of conflict between the 3 major executive car manufacturers that has manifested itself in a very peculiar way. There has been a gentlemen's agreement forged in the past few years between these warring companies that states that none of them shall manufacture a car that will go faster than 155 MPH.


  • Used Volkswagen - Used Cars With Fantastic Pedigree
    [Automotive] The Volkswagen legacy is one that spans decades, with some of the most iconic cars ever to grace the roads having sprung forth from the German powerhouse. From the Beetle to the Bora, the instantly recognisable nature of a VW car is undisputed! Whilst competitors might try to match the quirky nature and enigmatic profiles of the Vauxhall models, they don't have a hope in the face of unbeatable elegance and individuality.


  • Used Volkswagen - Not Cheap, But Exceedingly Cheerful
    [Automotive] If you're a scholar of the modern classics you'll probably be aware that the iconic Volkswagen Beetle has decided to join the celebrated ranks of convertible cars with the cabriolet option, and a more welcome sight has yet to be seen! Taking the iconic profile of the vintage Beetle and infusing it with a modern twist has lead to Volkswagen enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and with the option of a roofless roam it's hard to see any factor that could dissuade the discerning driver from pursuing the Beetle dream.


  • Used Toyota - A Perfect Used Car Choice
    [Automotive] From tiny little two seaters to surprisingly spacious fivers, there are a multitude of cars vying to be top dog in the minuscule motor market. As ever Toyota are on top of their game and have come to the fore with the exceptional little Aygo, a city car that's practically perfect in every way!


  • Used Toyota - Great Performance at a Palatable Price
    [Automotive] When it comes to a car that exudes subtle sophistication, the Toyota Corolla is perhaps the most shining example of excellence. As one of the most popular cars in the world the Corolla has become synonymous with quality, with a quiet and dignified sense of luxury that leaves the audience in no doubt as to the driver's impeccable taste.


  • Used Toyota - Brilliant Driving at a Palatable Price
    [Automotive] Time and time again, Toyota comes up trumps as the top manufacturer with tantalising designs and tremendous performance. Even if you're not a big fan of alliteration you can't argue with the fact that Toyota are one of the automotive powerhouses that keep coming up with superior motors that make driving into the pleasure that it should be.


  • Used SEAT - A Used Car With Designer Difference
    [Automotive] You may seek it here, you may seek it there, you may seek that scoundrel everywhere, but finding a reasonably priced used car that isn't just fit for the knacker's yard can be an exercise in frustration and sore toes (from kicking all those tyres, of course). You'd be hard pressed to find a private dealer that offers the kind of standards to match a specialist dealership, and if you were to discover a nearly new model being sold for an attractive price there's always the pitfall of finance to consider.


  • Used SEAT - A Fun Car That Won't Cost the Earth
    [Automotive] Perhaps you're after a car that doesn't take itself too seriously, a funky little set of wheels that will make even the most mundane commute fly by. Everyone wants their motor to say something about them, to give a positive reflection of their driving discernment that can't be mistaken for a fluke. There's one manufacturer that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to fun little autos that turn any journey into an adventure, and that manufacturer is SEAT!


  • Used SEAT - A Used Car With No Compromises
    [Automotive] From muscular MPV's to dinky little superminis, the SEAT family has an extensive lineage that spans generations of impeccable design and rugged reliability. From the dinky little Leon to the rather more expansive Altea, there's something to suit every need in the sprawling Spanish clan.


  • Used SEAT - A Pleasure to Putter About In
    [Automotive] Some people like them big, some people like them small. Some people like to spend their leisure time using them, some like to put them to use only as a means to an end. Whatever you want from yours, you're going to want it for less.


  • Used Rolls Royce - A Stunning Used Car
    [Automotive] For the vast majority of people, a Rolls-Royce experience isn't something that they're going to be indulging in any time soon. Paying the mortgage is probably more important, although at a push a Rolls does look as if it could house a small family.


  • Used Rolls Royce - You Won't Care That it is a Second Hand Car
    [Automotive] There's nothing more stunning, more illustrious or alluring than a Rolls-Royce. Seeming to embody timeless Art Deco elegance and powerful prestige, the Rolls-Royce legacy is one that boasts such impeccable models as the Phantom and Ghost, cars that are as impressive in name as they are in engineering.


  • Used Rolls Royce - A Used Car That Will Provide Luxury
    [Automotive] Admit it; you were probably a bit of a socialist in your youth. The majority of people go through a stage of leftist leanings before they get chewed up by the social machine that moulds them into hard-nosed hypocrites. And surely the most hypocritical thing of all would be to harbour liberal views whilst secretly yearning for that most capitalist of creations; the Rolls-Royce?


  • Used Rolls Royce - A Used Car With Class
    [Automotive] If you've been swooning over the iconic curves of a Rolls-Royce car for as long as you can remember, you'll know that the price of luxury is understandably somewhat high, and perhaps a little bit more than you've been able to afford. If all that has at long last changed then read on, but if not then please don't torture yourself, that day will come sooner than you think.


  • Used Honda - The Latest Integra Type R!
    [Automotive] Deep in the Japanese mountains lies a test track that blatantly plagiarises the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany. This is Honda's playground and they're not afraid of the comparisons. Japanese car makers have always taken the best bits of European cars and improved it themselves, so why not do the same with racing circuits?


  • Used Land Rover - A "Go Anywhere" Vehicle With a Great Pedigree
    [Automotive] It's amazing how our preconceptions towards something or someone change how we act. Foreigners are treated with suspicion, celebrities are either heroes or villains and 4x4's such as Land Rovers are used solely to destroy the Earth's atmosphere. The list goes on and on. Since 9/11 it seems every Muslim has a bad name and there's almost an expectation that something bad will happen. I experienced such a thing a few years ago flying back from Chicago, a few days after planned terror attacks on US to UK flights were thwarted.


  • Used Jeep - One of the Best 4X4's Available
    [Automotive] This week I decided that the one thing that annoys me more than anything else are people driving slowly for absolutely no reason. That's right folks, it's been a while but the time for another rant has come. Last night I had to work late and when I finally left the office it was pitch black outside and with empty roads. "Great" I thought, a quick journey home beckoned. Wrong. The 50 mph stretch of road that connected me from home and my girlfriend was clogged up by a trophy wife driving her husband's Used Jeep Cherokee. I'm used to the idea that not everyone drives as fast as me, but this was ridiculous.


  • Used Mini - Try the Quirky Drive From the Past
    [Automotive] A question arose in my head not so long ago that caused some confusion; what does it take to be an iconic car? Is it a powerful engine, a supercar exterior look, a luxurious interior or a seemingly impossible mixture of all three? These are all extremely desirable features for any car to own and would surely secure automotive notoriety for years to come.


  • Used Porsche - Buying One For Less
    [Automotive] Everybody has got a dream car that they would give anything to own. Even young boys and girls who may not be able to drive for up to a decade pin up posters of supercars that they look dreamily at before they go to bed. It is a sad fact though that the majority of these dreams never get realised and slowly the longing looks to the posters of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches gives way to a huge reality check when they realise the cost of these superior machines.


  • Used Mini - Keeping the Sixties Icon Alive
    [Automotive] It would appear that the vast majority of European countries have a rich heritage of automotive history behind them that also extends into a rich and profitable future. Italy has Ferrari, Fiat and Maserati. Germany has BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen. Even France has Renault, Peugeot and Citroen. As a proud member of the British Isles, it pains me to say that we (as a people) haven't got a great deal to show for our efforts in the past.


  • Used Porsche - How a Supercar Can Become Affordable
    [Automotive] There really has always been something of a holy trinity of European sports cars that seems impossible for any rival manufacturers to penetrate or split up. Try as they might, when I personally talk about sports cars I can rarely think beyond the might of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - A Grown Up Convertible
    [Automotive] I'm not sure what I like most about our used Mercedes-Benz CLK Convertible. It might be the oh-so-comfortable seats, or possibly the way it roars to 62mph in only six seconds. It's hard to find anything I don't like about it except the fact that my wife gets to drive it more than I do!


  • Used Mercedes-Benz - A Sensible Used Car
    [Automotive] With few guarantees, buying a used car can be a daunting prospect. I recently handed back my company car following 30 years of subsidised motoring and suddenly I found myself in the market for a used car for the very first time. My wish list was pretty detailed. I wanted something comfortable, robust and reliable for our long journeys visiting my son and daughter in law - that's why a used Mercedes-Benz made perfect sense to me.


  • Used Mercedes Benz - Choosing Your Executive Saloon
    [Automotive] It has to be said that the world of the executive saloon is a rather cluttered, if not completely saturated, marketplace that can be a minefield for those who don't enter it completely armed with all the requisite facts and figures. Firstly, you have to pick a manufacturer to start the ball rolling. As much as many will protest, the best executive and prestige saloons seem to come from Germany. Within this one moderately sized country you have Audi, BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, all of whom have developed and rolled out many executive saloons over the years. Even narrowing down to a particularly nationality doesn't really slim the choice down drastically.


  • Used Maserati - The Closest You Can Come to a Practical Supercar
    [Automotive] There are some vehicles that you feel never truly realise the full potential of the sheer engineering genius that has gone into their development. A great example of this would be those rather wasteful millionaires who spend ridiculous amounts of money on a whole host of supercars and hypercars, then just let them gather dust in a garage at one of their homes. These cars seldom see the light of day, which is an incredible shame when you consider the power that they harness beneath the hood.


  • Used Maserati - An Affordable & Practical Supercar?
    [Automotive] The supercar is the stuff of dreams, isn't it? The unobtainable fantasy of childhood that adorned boy's bedroom walls all around the world. Millions of grownups and children covet these examples of technical perfection, reading about Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches. So few many of us actually get the chance to test drive this wonderful machines, never mind owning them. So why can't more of us experience the driving perfection of a supercar?


  • Used Maserati - The Affordable End of the Supercar Market
    [Automotive] There is a certain amount of competitive pride involved with the purchase of any car. It is a highly common occurrence to see neighbours compete against each other to have the newest, shiniest example of automotive brilliance on their adjacent driveways. In the pursuit of this game of material cat and mouse, I have seen unprecedented levels of one-upmanship that can escalate to ridiculous proportions. This is especially prevalent in areas of affluence and privilege where wealth is abundant and seemingly able to flow like a river. There is one car manufacturer that seems to trump the vast majority of other brands in these competitions of prestige and that seems to be Maserati.


  • Used Jeep - Use it to Its Full Potential
    [Automotive] If there is one thing that really annoys me about other road user's car habits it's not speeding, inconsiderate lane-changing, or even failing to indicate at roundabouts. What really annoys me is when people buy cars that are inappropriate for their needs. For example, during my drive to work the roads are literally clogged with 4X4s being driven by a Mother with one child in the back passenger seat. This doesn't annoy my as it is uneconomical, or because it is ecologically damaging. It annoys me because it is barely realising a fraction of that vehicle's potential.


  • A Used Toyota Aygo - Good Driving Experience, Low Cost
    [Automotive] If you have recently passed your driving test then there is a strong likelihood that you are going to be very eager to buy yourself a car and get out on the road as quick as humanly possible. This scenario is a very common one and a rite of passage for many young people all around the world.


  • A Used Toyota Aygo - A Very Interesting Hatchback
    [Automotive] In the world of the supermini there are literally hundreds of options available to everyone looking for a small and economical car. Whilst being squarely aimed at young and inexperienced drivers, the majority of small hatchback cars seem to be catching on with the elder drivers amongst us, due to impressive economy and ecology statistics. The question is; with so much choice, how do you narrow down your search to just one?


  • A Used Saab - A Distinctive Executive Saloon
    [Automotive] In my experience, there are two very distinctive types of executive saloon car available on the market. First of all you have the saloon that has been designed to make a great impression on clients and such like, but so much effort has been plied into the design that there has barely been any time has been spent on the engineering side of things.


  • Used Jeep - Appealing to the British
    [Automotive] In terms of Pan-Atlantic success, some imports from the United States to Britain do slightly better than others, it has to be said. The imports that have made a huge impact are things like Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Boy Bands, Skateboarding and Ice Cream with cookie bits in it. Things that have faded badly or failed to make any impact whatsoever include MC Hammer and a great number of large and rather unwieldy cars.


  • Used Maserati - Does it Appeal to the Younger Generation?
    [Automotive] If I mention the phrase 'Maserati Cars' there is probably a very specific image which enters your head. You probably think either of "Swinging Sixties" London with flower power all the rage, or perhaps even of old gents in stiff suits driving around at 20 miles per hour regardless of the speed limit. These associations have limited Maserati's appeal over the past decade or so to the (how shall I put it) 'elderly' drivers. So what has Maserati done to rid themselves of this rather archaic, out-dated image?


  • Used Mercedes Benz CL 600 - When Too Much Power is a Bad Thing
    [Automotive] It is no secret that German car manufacturers are somewhat renowned for their unprecedented levels of efficiency and precise engineering. This reputation has been chiefly earned by the 'holy trinity' of the German prestige car industry; Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz. The international reputation of these brands has triggered something of a rivalry that has manifested itself in what is being hotly referred to as the 'German BHP Wars.'


  • Used Jeep - Has it Bridged the Class Divide?
    [Automotive] The role of the 4X4 has changed significantly in Britain over the past decade or so. Once upon a time these large and bulky vehicles were the sole property of farmers, agricultural engineers and people who lived so far in the countryside that their drive to work consisted of navigating several dirt tracks and rocky pathways. Now it would appear that the 4X4 has become a car for the privileged; a badge of wealth that is worn proudly amongst the aspiring middle and upper classes. So when and why did this type of vehicle make the leap from practical vehicle of the working class, to privilege vehicle of the middle class?


  • Used Ferrari - How You Can Own One For Less
    [Automotive] One of the most intensely desirable and coveted brand of cars ever to be created simply has to be the Ferrari. Adorning the bedroom walls of thousands of adolescents over the years, the various Ferrari models have scorched themselves into legend as some of the most iconic and sought-after cars in existence. With this in mind, you probably wouldn't expect to see many Ferrari models at your local second hand car dealer, but like all cars, there is a used Ferrari market to be found out there.


  • Used Volvo - A Car Where Safety is the Chief Concern
    [Automotive] When you get a family with kids your entire opinion of what makes a good car is completely turned on its head and you gain a whole new perception of what you want in your next vehicle. Whilst you may have looked for power and speed in the impetuousness of your youth, with a family there is only one thing that you look for and that is safety.


  • Used Saab - How to Find the Balance of Style and Quality
    [Automotive] In the world of the executive saloon there are many available choices to the more discerning business man or woman. Depending on your exact budget there all manner of manufacturers vying for your business, so it is important to weigh up what is more important to you; performance or image.


  • Used Chrysler - The Sebring Improves With Age
    [Automotive] I have to be honest and state that I am not the biggest fan of American cars the world has to offer. This is primarily because on balance, I find American cars are usually too cumbersome and large to adequately fit on the small country roads that lead to and from my home. As a result, when it comes to searching for a new car I generally skip over the offerings from the likes of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.


  • Used Chrysler - A Growth in Popularity, an Increase in Sales
    [Automotive] Amongst the 3 top American car manufacturers to permeate the relatively lucrative European market include Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. My personal favourite of this trinity of manufacturers is Chrysler, simply because they have produced what the other competing manufacturers have failed to do and that is giving their customers variety.


  • Used Chrysler - Destroying the 'Poor Handling' Myth
    [Automotive] With all the honesty and goodwill in the world, American cars are not the most popular cars to buy on the other side of the Atlantic, Britain especially. This buying trend (or lack thereof) seems to be largely based around the urban myth that American cars are unable to corner adequately to make driving round the British road network at any speed faster than 5 miles per hour a very dangerous pursuit to undertake.


  • A Used Jeep - How the Image of the 4X4 Changed
    [Automotive] There are a great number of 4X4 alternatives available on the market these days, which is certainly indicative of the shift in attitudes towards them over the past decade or so. Before the boom in sales of the nineties, almost all 4X4s were considered as adequate transport for those who worked in the countryside or owned a great deal of land that needed to be traversed on a regular basis.


  • A Used Ferrari - How to Buy a Supercar During a Recession
    [Automotive] In a world where recession has pretty much put a stop to everybody's big spending habits, you would probably expect to see less extravagance in the world. By rights there should be less luxury yachts moored at every harbour, less luxury apartments with "Sold" signs on them and certainly less luxury cars parading up and down the high streets. There is, however, one way that I am aware of that should keep a steady stream of luxury cars on the highways and byways and that is the used car market.


  • A Used Ferrari - When Car Value Depreciation Becomes a Huge Concern
    [Automotive] To the vast majority of the car driving public car value depreciation is a minor annoyance, rather than some kind of huge investment affecting decision. The general pattern of practice for the average guys out there is; buy a car, drive it until it stops working, scrap it and buy a new one.


  • Used Toyota - Young Driver Advice!
    [Automotive] It is vitally important to listen to all available advice when you are choosing your first car. Young and relatively inexperienced drivers can so easily make mistakes and end up driving a car that either falls to bits within months, or is simply too powerful for them, putting themselves and other road users at risk. I am fully aware that if you are looking for your first car you probably won't be interested in looking for small and safe cars, but trust me, it is in your best interests to think relatively small until you have the experience to graduate from a small hatchback.


  • Used Rolls Royce - Should You Go Straight to the Used Market?
    [Automotive] As far as prestige cars go, there are 3 manufacturers whose names are consistently spoken within the same breath as each other. The three brands I speak of are Rolls Royce, Bentley and Jaguar. If by some happy fortune you are in a position to buy one of these most sought after cars, then firstly I must commend you and secondly I would like to offer you some rather important advice.


  • Used Volkswagen - Visit a Specialist Dealer to Compare and Contrast Models
    [Automotive] Whether you have the daily grind of the 9 to 5 or a job that allows you to determine your own hours, there's nothing that can sour the deal like a car that makes commuting into an excruciating torment. We all know the sheer frustration of a vehicle that turns what should be a simple journey into a trek that rivals that of Odysseus, but where does one go to find a vehicle that can cut the mustard in any circumstance?


  • Used Volkswagen - Easing Yourself Into Car Ownership
    [Automotive] From the fantastic Fox to the majestic Bora, the iconic Beetle to the ever popular Polo, the Volkswagen badge is one that graces only the most marvelous of motors. With a pedigree that speaks of style, impeccable performance and outstanding reliability, nothing comes close to the prestige of a Volkswagen vehicle.


  • Used Saab - A Good Pedigree Regardless of the Condition
    [Automotive] Living in a rural area means that at times it's necessary to take evasive action - a split second choice between an emergency brake and swerving to avoid a hazard. I've had a few close calls with badgers and deer appearing on the road right ahead (even at 30 to 40mph a sudden animal encounter isn't out of the question, and anyone who wants to do the national speed limit on the winding, treacherous roads round this way is welcome to the unnecessary risk).


  • Used Porsche - Make Buying One Your Goal
    [Automotive] Buying a Porsche is, for the vast majority of people, the goal of many years of hard work, the shining and tangible fruit of their labour. But when it comes to actually striding into the dealership proudly holding your wallet aloft, the reality of the situation suddenly hits home; it's a heck of a lot of money to spend on something no matter how long you've fantasized about scooting about in your new pride and joy.


  • Used Porsche - From Sports Coupes to 4X4s
    [Automotive] Getting hold of a Porsche is a dream that for many has plagued their nightly slumbers for years, if not decades! If you've always hankered after a car that will make you stand out from the crowd as a driver with a distinct taste for the superb, a Porsche is certainly an advertisement of excellence that can't be ignored.


  • Is Buying a Used Dodge a Good Choice?
    [Automotive] If you are living in the United Kingdom and looking for a vehicle perfect for you then look no further. You probably have a used dealer somewhere near you. One of the dealers in the United Kingdom is King Dodge with a wide variety of styles and selections, and sales people to assist you in finding the right car for you. Prices range to fit your pocketbook and there is a Dodge that is perfect for your needs. If you are in the market for a new car that is backed by a solid reputation of reliability, dependability, and service then a Dodge is a good choice.


  • Used Dodge - New, Improved and an Ideal Second Car
    [Automotive] Dodge is the answer to anyone looking to purchase a used vehicle in the United Kingdom. Sytner King Dodge is a used Dodge dealer in the United Kingdom with a wide variety of styles and selections. Whether you are looking for an economy class car or a deluxe model you can find what you are looking for. Staff members are available to assist you in answering questions and doing whatever is necessary to put you in the driver's seat. Repairs are not a major problem with dodge vehicles as there are garages located in the United Kingdom to check out your vehicles needs.


  • Used Dodge - Does it Meet the Needs of Overseas Customers?
    [Automotive] Many of the automotive manufacturers in the United States have made changes to their cars to meet the needs of overseas customers. Dodge is one of these manufacturers that has made cars more compatible to narrower roads that twist and turn such as some of those in the United Kingdom.


  • Used Ferrari - The Finest Used Cars Available
    [Automotive] There is nothing more exhilarating than conquering the open road in a performance car that was built to accelerate through the straight-aways and handle curves as if they were merely an after thought in the road's design. To this end, there are many millions of people all across the United States who seek to own one of the finest automobiles ever built, the Ferrari.


  • Used Rolls Royce - How to Play the Used Market to Your Advantage
    [Automotive] When it comes to buying a brand new prestige car the market is perilous and can be quite punishing to those not in the know about how to make the market work for you rather than against you. An example of this is amply displayed when you consider that a prestige car such as a Rolls Royce loses almost half its market value as soon as you drive it off the dealer's forecourt for the first time. At this point it is a used car and therefore is of less resale value to both the dealers and any potential future buyers.


  • Used Maserati - It Could Be the Best Used Car You Ever Buy
    [Automotive] If you are currently looking for a luxury saloon car and are finding the task of narrowing your choice down from hundreds to just one, then there is a rather important bit of information I have that may be of interest to you. Today's most popular prestige saloon brand is obviously BMW, who sell thousands of units in the United Kingdom alone on an annual basis. However, if you knew of a way of trading up to a more prestigious brand whilst spending the same amount of money, most people would jump at the chance.


  • Used Maserati - The King of the Luxury Saloons?
    [Automotive] In a world where the luxury saloon market has been subject to a great deal of saturation, it can be difficult to identify the top performing models from mere pretenders to the crown. For ever BMW M series saloon representing quality and performance, you have a Chrysler Sebring representing the rather less positive characteristics of the style. I have always found that the key to finding a great saloon car is to look back over its history to see how it has evolved and where its genesis began.


  • Used Maserati - A Practical Supercar?
    [Automotive] There are many different 'supercars' currently available on the market and with varying degrees of popularity. Some are absolutely, mind bogglingly ugly but very quick (see the Orca C113 for an example of what can go wrong in the design department), whilst some may be quite pretty form an aesthetic point of view, but are of no use outside the racing track. Running the gamut nicely between powerful, practical and beautiful are car such as the Maserati Quattroporte.


  • A Used Smart Car - Good Things Come in Small Packages!
    [Automotive] Good things really do come in small packages, and when you take a look at the smart car you'll see that there's no contest when it comes to size and superlative quality. Not even wanting to increase the size of its title with a capital letter, the smart car is a wonder of design that makes even the busiest road look like a palatial promenade.

  • Used Smart Car - An Economically Suitable Car
    [Automotive] Something's afoot, and the supermini market is on the rise.

    [Automotive] Remember when you used to enjoy the ride to the store? And when you thought of going on a road trip with excitement? When the trip to work didn't make you want to cry?

  • A Used Land Rover Remains Unrivalled For Luxury and Power
    [Automotive] There are not too many people who can resist the urge to purchase a new or used Land Rover, because it is a 4x4 loved across the world. Durability, ruggedness, ability to conquer all terrains, persist through rain, snow, mud, and climb hills, the rover has meant pride of ownership for many years. In 1987, the magnificent vehicle was first embraced by Americans. Africans, Australians and Brits have been enjoying all the benefits of their rovers and still are today.

  • Used Land Rover Buyers Guide
    [Automotive] When researching the Internet for the very best deals on a used Land Rover, things to keep in mind are, the year, approval ratings, and price.

  • The Unconquerable Used Land Rover
    [Automotive] Although many a new or used Land Rover has dotted city streets with harried mothers behind the wheel and a horde of children in the backseat, this magnificent beast was built to do much more than just become another transportation vehicle. In Africa, land rovers are synonymous with the people, because they are used by everyone to get around, are simple to repair, and it is expected the rover will become dusty and even muddy most of the time. There is nothing luxurious about it, nor does anyone wish there to be. The functionality, durability and longevity are what counts most.

The 300 has great power, a uniquely stylish interior, a slick look, a safe build, and has been a classic luxury car for over 50 years. The 300 runs off of a v6 engine that can be bought as a 2.7 or 3.5 liter.It totes a huge 340 horsepower hemi engine that is sure to get you where you need to be on time (of course don't ever break the law and speed, this should be common sense).

What make of vehicle should you go with, how does the car look, and is it worth the money?


  • Used Lexus - The Prestige Car Competition Heats Up!
    [Automotive] There is a great deal of competition for the same individual marketplaces in the automotive world. For every trailblazing supermini or SUV, there are literally hundreds of pretenders snapping at its heels. The particular example I would like to focus on here would be that of the executive saloon; chiefly populated by the popular German car manufacturers BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz.


  • Used Rolls Royce - A New Look For a New Century
    [Automotive] In a rather short space of time there has been an absolutely massive evolution in the overall modernisation of Rolls Royce cars. Even up to the early nineties they had a kind of 'Continental Dictator' feel about them that added an unmistakable air of gravitas and opulence to what (for all intents and purposes) is a tonne and a half of metal with some wheels attached. With the unveiling of the modern look Rolls Royce Phantom, the impressions given off by Rolls Royce seem decidedly more "approachable".


  • Used Rolls Royce - An Addictive Experience
    [Automotive] It has to be said that there are certain cars that leave an indelible impression upon you and you can't seem to get them out of your head. One such car that made my head spin with giddy joy was a Rolls Royce Phantom that I was lucky enough to be a passenger in.


  • Used Chrysler - Doing Your Research
    [Automotive] Shopping for a new car? Well, the car doesn't need to be "new". A used car, although not really new, is new to you. Even if you are searching for a brand spanking new car, you will want to do your research into the make and model of the car you are thinking about buying.


  • Used Bentley - Live the Dream
    [Automotive] Bentley is a name synonymous with wealth and power. To own a Bentley means that you have the money and the means to get things done. At least that is what people think when they see someone driving one of these prestigious high end cars. Interestingly enough, the Bentley brand is fraught with financial woes and internal troubles that contrast the public view of these elite cars.


  • Used Bentley - Get One For a Fraction of the Cost of a New One
    [Automotive] The idea of buying a used car to many people is repugnant, they want to buy new, they like the fresh new car smell that comes from purchasing a car that is brand new. They like the warranty that comes with the car, the way that it looks from the outside to the inside and they even like the way that people look at them when they realize that they were able to purchase a new vehicle.


  • Used Bentley - From a Dealer Or Online
    [Automotive] Many people have dreamed about owning a Bentley, which is arguably the most prestigious car brand in the world. However, most dream but never dare to actually hope that they can own one of Bentley's beautiful cars. However, with the used car market being the way it is, it is possible for you to purchase a Used Bentley at a much more affordable rate than you could possible imagine.


  • Used Jaguar - It Will Cost Less Than a Similar Aged Family Hatchback!
    [Automotive] If you find yourself sat behind the wheel of a Jaguar X Type you can be pretty sure that you are either immensely rich, incredibly important, or perhaps a rather fortuitous mixture of both. If you are like me and have limited wealth, ever decreasing importance, thinning hair and rotund belly, the chances of ever owning such a prestigious car are pretty much zero. So the fact that I found myself sat behind the wheel of one last week, possibly considering getting my wallet out should be a major cause for celebration.


  • Used Toyota Aygo - The Perfect Urban Supermini?
    [Automotive] If you have been even vaguely aware of your surroundings then you may have noticed that here is a new small hatchback that seems to be popping up just about everywhere imaginable. The model in question is the new Toyota Aygo, which has been backed by a tidal wave of enthusiastic press releases, fantastic reviews in the media and an overwhelming amount of commercial success. All of these accolades are extremely rare and desirable for a car which for all intents and purposes, is built to an alarmingly low budget.


  • Used Lexus - Image is Everything
    [Automotive] If you are a high powered executive, or perhaps a successful Sales Representative who has to travel the length and breadth of the country, you are more than likely to need an executive car to match your job description. Without beating about the bush, there is a great deal of choice out there varying massively in quality, size, shape, power in pretty much every way imaginable. So how can you possibly go about making sure that you pick the right one for you?


  • A Used Lexus - Taking on All the Competition
    [Automotive] When it comes to the frankly saturated executive car market there are a great deal of options available to the upwardly mobile high fliers amongst us. Fighting it out for the affections of these career orientated people are the more popular choices are BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz. However, there are now a few newer competitors throwing their metaphorical hats into the ring for consideration. Chief amongst these newcomers is Lexus.


  • Used Lexus - The Most Relaxing Drive Imaginable
    [Automotive] I have always found it hard to imagine myself sat in an executive car, smoothly powering up the motorway, but that is precisely where I found myself earlier today. I was testing out a Lexus IS220, which is one of the only executive cars that I have never had the pleasure of driving before.


  • A Used Bentley - Just As Good As a New One
    [Automotive] The Bentley brand has been around since 1919 when one of the Bentley brothers (W.O. Bentley) decided that he wanted to design and develop a car that carried his name on the car. From the beginning Bentley had troubles with production and cost, but this did not stop this company from creating cars that were stunning to look at and that many people desired to own. Once Bentley became established enough to produce cars for a few years it then became possible for people to purchase a Used Bentley in lieu of the much more expensive newer models.


  • A Used Honda Makes a Great First Car
    [Automotive] One of the biggest decisions a person can make is in buying their first car. Some thrifty, hardworking children do this for themselves while they are still in high school or college; others wait until they are out of school to make the big purchase. Either way, it can set a person up for financial peace or for financial heartache, depending on the decision that is made. Most people end up buying a used car for their first purchase, which can be a good decision. What makes that decision even better is buying a used Honda.


  • A Used Honda - They're Getting Even Better
    [Automotive] Some of the most important financial decisions that many people make have to do with their vehicles. Vehicles are a necessity in most places in modern America, and they are expensive to buy, run, and maintain. Making a good financial decision regarding a car is paramount to a person's financial health.


  • A Used Honda - Get Yourself a Great Deal
    [Automotive] As the number of cars on the roads increases by leaps and bounds, car manufacturers are responding with unprecedented choices of makes and models. When shopping for another car, a consumer is faced with many decisions.


  • A Used Honda - It Makes a Great Car Choice
    [Automotive] With the economy being in the poor condition that it is, more and more people are turning to used cars when they need another automobile. Instead of buying new and fighting for financing, some people choose to buy used and pay cash. Still others simply appreciate the lower payments and lower insurance costs of driving a used car. Whatever the reason, driving a used car is an extremely popular idea, with good reasons. For anyone considering a used car, a used Honda is one of the best cars on the market, for many different reasons.


  • Used Ferrari - Considering Buying One?
    [Automotive] If you are considering buying a used Ferrari you are a very special person. Not only do you have incredible taste, but you have an enthusiasm for rich style and unparalleled power that has become synonymous with the word Ferrari throughout their 80 years of existence.With the luxury sports car business more wide open than ever, it is important to stand free and stand out, alone amongst the sea of impersonators, so that one might have a chance of becoming the best it can be. Ferrari is no exception to the rule, they have defined the rules for what we know them as to this very day.


  • Used Ferrari - Why Buy One?
    [Automotive] Why a used Ferrari? Good question. For each person on the planet their wants and needs are completely different. Sure, some people have similar tastes, but everybody is an individual. The same goes for Ferrari the company. They are a stand-alone brand that has stood the test of time for 80 years. They started as a promotion for racing and after some time begin manufacturing road cars for the public. Ferrari quickly became a favorite amongst race fans with a taste for sweetness. These sports car collectors hung on to Ferrari like the last toffee candy. In the long run, this has benefited the sports car consumer by making available used Ferrari cars at reasonable prices.


  • Used Ferrari - A Buying Guide
    [Automotive] If you are considering buying a Ferrari, no doubt price has popped into your mind. It is a luxury car, and you get what you pay for. Looking at a used Ferrari might help you save some money if you are looking at buying a Ferrari. Buying used cars can give you somewhat of an advantage over buying new: you can find that specific, classic look you've always wanted for that style of car. Ferrari is no exception. A used Ferrari from the mid-80's can give you that nostalgic feeling you had when you were a teenager wanting that sweet sports ride. Or that 2000 used Ferrari might help you save money and treat yourself to the cool car you've always wanted.


  • Used Ferrari - The Appeal Factor
    [Automotive] It's no secret that Ferrari has a rather large reputation. Ferrari's are known for a fast, powerful engine and a sexy look. If you first thought of the word "Ferrari" you would probably picture one on cherry red with black leather seats, the Ferrari classic logo prevalent on the front hood of the vehicle. Ferrari has been a classic since 1928 when the Italian designer Enzo Ferrari came up with the concept for the vehicle. Since then Ferrari has set the standard for sports cars and luxury cars alike. Ferrari is known for it's speed, and has shown great success in racing, especially formula one racing.


  • VW Polo - An Established Brand
    [Automotive] The Volkswagen Polo is as established a car as the Beatles are to music or Hoover is to vacuum cleaners. Ever since the Mk1 appeared 34 years ago, the Polo has been synonymous with elegant styling, high reliability levels and practicality. Yes the Polo has never ripped your face off with its acceleration or gripped corners like it was on rails but none of this mattered to the millions of people who have owned a Polo over the years - it became as important a part of the average family as the dog.


  • Used MINI - A New Look For a Cult Car
    [Automotive] There are certain cars that always manage to inspire a kind of cult devotion, regardless of how they may change or alter over the years. Owners may change, manufacturing may change location, but the basic principles and style of the car largely remain. A particular car that springs to mind when imagining this kind of ceaseless popularity would be the MINI. Ever since the company were taken over by BMW, many purists of the original MINI have turned their noses up and have ceased their affection for this wonderful little car. I, however, would not consider myself one of this contingent.


  • Ford Mondeo - The Birth of Mondeo Man
    [Automotive] It is without a shadow of a doubt that the Ford Mondeo has firmly stamped its deserved authority over all other competition in the saloon world. The question is; "how on Earth has it managed this feat for such a long time?" After replacing the Ford Sierra over 16 years ago now, the Ford Mondeo has become more than just a popular saloon car; it has evolved into common parlance. Have you ever heard the term "Mondeo Man"? If you haven't, I will explain.


  • Used Dodge - Suitable For Reserved Brits?
    [Automotive] It would be rather true to say that as a concept or idea, American cars don't generally work well in this country (United Kingdom). This could be based on a selection in factors, ranging from the size of American cars, to the fact that our twisty and windy roads often make tough work for American cars handling. As a result cars from across the pond tend not to sell extremely well in Europe and often sit on dealership's forecourts for years, getting slowly eroded by the infamously bad British weather.


  • Honda Domination - How Have They Done It?
    [Automotive] It is impossible to travel down any street or road in the United Kingdom and not see a Honda car of some description either parked up, or zooming past. Yet there is rarely much talk of Honda cars in the automotive press or media. So how exactly have they initiated this seemingly successful domination?


  • The Drive That Changed My Life
    [Automotive] It is without a shadow of a doubt that certain vehicles must be kept for special occasions, barely brought out from underneath the dust sheet in the garage. If you can afford to buy the kind of car that you save for particular events or special days out, then you are far luckier than the vast majority of us. This isn't to say that such prestige cars are completely unavailable to the working classes though. It was through a very good friend that I discovered the joy and affordable side of luxury motoring.


  • Cheaper Than a Porsche, Faster Than a Porsche
    [Automotive] I am afraid I have to take issue with some of the comments that have been flying about regarding Honda's reputation in this country. A rather sizeable group of people have been referring to the Honda range as 'transport for the elderly' and other such comments which really fail to do the Honda designers and engineers any kind of justice at all. In fact, I have gone out of my way to prove that this paradigm is simply not the case by discovering one of the most exciting and reasonably priced sports cars available on the market; the Honda S2000.


  • The Saab 9-3 - A Great All-Round Saloon
    [Automotive] I have been tasked with trying to find the best possible saloon for my boss to roll out as a standard company car for all the Managers and Sales Representatives at my workplace. To be completely honest, it hasn't been a very easy job. There are so many saloon models currently clogging up the market that choosing one particular model has transformed into a rather recurring nightmare. I decided to start my search systematically though and began sifting through the countless brochures and websites trying to identify the requisite car.


  • Ford Mondeo - The Car That Evolves
    [Automotive] When it comes to choosing the best possible Saloon Cars, most car magazines or other Automotive mediums will inevitably point you in the direction of one particular make and model; the Ford Mondeo. The Ford Mondeo has been a consistent and popular seller since its release in 1993. Back then it was the replacement for the relatively popular Ford Sierra, which had been a good flagship model for Ford in the company car sector, but was beginning to lose steam. The Ford Mondeo was meant to reinvigorate the design and bring a more 'executive' edge to the manufacturer who were beginning to run out of ideas.


  • Lamborghini Gallardo Or Ford Focus? Not Much of a Competition!
    [Automotive] Every single driver will obviously have differing categories and stipulations regarding what makes the perfect car. Some will be of the opinion that power, speed and performance are the mark of a truly great car and suggest that the Bugatti Veyron or something similar is the perfect car. Others will hold esteem in a more aesthetic nature and put forward cars such as the Bentley Continental and the Aston Martin Vanquish as the real purveyors of automotive perfection. I have always held the opinion that the truly great cars don't focus on one thing, but try to encapsulate the needs and desires of everyone into their designs and engineering. This is precisely why my favourite car is the brand new Ford Focus.


  • My Used Car Guide - In the Style of Jane Austen
    [Automotive] I feel compelled to spin a yarn of disappointment and tragedy; a story so encompassed in self-perpetuating grief that it is emotionally distracting to commit it to the public domain. The story I am about to relay to you is one of my own hubris, my own curmudgeonly decisions which relentlessly return to befoul me from the path of happiness and joy. This is the tale of my search for a new car and how, bereft of the omniscient gift of foresight, I managed to commit a catalogue of portentous errors culminating in a cold and lonely night spent shivering in the back seat of a rather disappointing car.


  • VW Polo - The Modifier's Dream?
    [Automotive] The VW Polo has long since been a very popular seller in this country and has developed a devoted fan base who have pledged allegiance to the little hatchback. After spending time talking to various VW Polo owners I wanted to find out exactly what it was that made them fall so hopelessly in love with a vehicle which is barely sporty, or particularly eye-catching.


  • The Vauxhall Insignia - You'll Forget It's a Vauxhall!
    [Automotive] Vauxhall are a brand that stands for functionality, reliability and occasionally a pretty good ride quality. With that in mind, it is hard to imagine my face when confronted with the Vauxhall Insignia; a car that may be one of the best looking commercially-available road cars I have ever witnessed. To say I was astounded would be a huge understatement and one that would do the Insignia's impression on me a great injustice.


  • Whats the Best Vehicle to Gain Your Independence?
    [Automotive] I remember when I was 17 and had reached that point in adolescence where everything in your life is something to be argued at/with. Friends, family, even the dog bore the brunt of my hormonal rage. I cannot stress enough that this is a period of my life where my regret knows no bounds and I generally cringe and curl up into the fetal position whenever I think about it. There is, however, one abiding memory that I am happy to share with you; the lust for freedom and independence.


  • The Vauxhall Vivaro - A Worthy Rival to Ford
    [Automotive] I, for one of the few times in my life, found myself in possession of the wrong opinion when it came to the Vauxhall Vivaro. When it pulled up outside my house I was gobsmacked with how different the Vivaro looked in comparison with its direct competition. The traditional boxiness of some vans is not evident in the Vivaro and has given this newcomer a significant opportunity of matching the evergreen Ford Transit, at least in terms of iconic aesthetics.


  • Save Money by Visiting a Car Supermarket
    [Automotive] As sad as it is, the fact remains, Times Have Changed and we must adapt. One great way to save money is to avoid spending vast amounts on that new car you may have been eyeing up recently. Unless you can afford cash-up-front payments, or wallet-crippling APR rates on a finance deal, then maybe buying a used car would be the best option.


  • The Honda S2000 - Quicker Than a Porsche Boxster?
    [Automotive] Not only did the Honda S2000 scream off the line with more aggression than the Boxster, within the first left-hander it had about a 25 feet advantage on the Porsche and held itself perfectly, neatly kissing both the inner and outer rumblestrips from entry to exit of the corner. After this first corner I started laughing hysterically. Essentially, what I was driving was a wolf in sheep's clothing; a beast dressed as your Gran.


  • Nissan 350Z - The Sports Car the Footballers Don't Know About
    [Automotive] Having test drove the new Nissan 350Z I can confidently say that though it may not match a Ferrari in terms of brand value or consummate performance, I think I would choose the Japanese over the Italian. Before you accuse me of being a witch or just plain stupid, let me explain my logic.


  • Vauxhall Corsa - The Perfect Economical & Ecological Choice
    [Automotive] Despite the virulent protestations to convince the general public to leave their cars at home and step aboard public transport, the Government and local authorities don't exactly make it the convenient and cost-friendly solution that one would hope for. The prices on buses and trains consistently creep up and the quality and frequency of service invariably slump down. So what most of us are looking for is cost-effective transport, which is easily maintained, reliable and isn't full of litter or smells like a particularly abused dustbin. What we need is a series of cars that are suitable for city driving; great handling, good performance at low revs, economical and ecologically sound. With some research I found, with relative ease, the perfect cars to fit the bill.


  • Jeep Patriot - Is it to British Tastes?
    [Automotive] The range of Jeep vehicles are a peculiar import to the British shores after being taken to heart by Americans as a collective.
