Used Car Reviews – Our Approach

Use the menus above to search the reviews

Used Car Expert provides an enormous archive of car reviews, written by a variety of different car reviewers so that you can get a good idea of what the cars you are interested in are really like to drive.

If three writers all say in their car reviews that the ride is harsh, it probably is. If it’s only one then they are probably just a bit too old for the sporty car being reviewed. We hope that these conventional car reviews are a good way to know how the specific engine and specification of used car you want to buy drives, what it is like to live with and how it was viewed among its peers when it launched.

But we don’t just provide conventional car reviews...

In amongst the conventional car reviews are used car reviews that describe condition, look at which models have sold well, which are cheap to buy and so on. You’ll also find buying and selling case studies, questions from our readers that we have answered, reviews of dealers and used approved schemes.

So for the reader that wants to really dig into the information there is plenty to read!

But if you want a simpler, quicker way of reviewing which used car to buy, head over to our cars for sale section, where you can find used car buyers guides that summarise which variation or engine to buy, and why, based on reliability and depreciation. You can also look at the used car reviews while in that part of the site, using the mini tab on the right of the page.

You can also load our prices on that page, to see what year of car your budget buys, what the average mileage should be, and get more detail on the depreciation.

MANY of us have fancied a 4x4 at some time because it’s good to feel that you have all that metal around you.But most off-roaders are big and chunky and that makes them thirsty and slow.So if you'd rather have real 4x4 capability in a smaller and mor... Forester carves its own niche
