I enjoy reading this magazine because I like to know the latest news in each and every model launched in Britain .I am interested in the stats of cars and there equipment etc
I would have no problems of completely recommending this to anyone who likes a good read and enjoys reading about the latest equipment and models etc
Advantages: Great in-depth information on cars Disadvantages: Maybe should have a sports section
...to read and it’s called What Car? (For all you people who haven’t read the category)
I never used to read What Car? or Auto Express but I used to read a magazine called Complete Car. I found some the other day and I still think they were good (I got my name in their once). But they merged with Autocar and so dropped in my estimation. I tried Carweek but that mysteriously went defunct. This then led me onto Auto Express, the weekly mag, ... ...I have a pile of What Cars? piling up on ,my bedroom floor. So as I tidy them up (eg, throw then in my wardrobe), I thought I’d better write an op, so as not to be tempted to finish that maths homework sitting precariously on my bedroom table (Da da da da!).
WHAT IS ‘WHAT CAR?’ It’s a car magazine. What more do you want! Sorry, I’ll try harder. What Car? comes from one branch of the ‘Which’ company, which ...

Advantages: Good Round-Up of statistics, good reviews Disadvantages: Writing can be a bit repetitive
...couple of consecutive copies of What Car and used its articles to point me in the right direction. The road test reports it carries have varying levels of thoroughness and depth. There are short first drive reports and much longer first impression reports, there are articles of ‘What’s new’ in which recent or about to be launched models are previewed. The Group Tests which What Car does are very useful and it is always worth looking out for ... ...on sale in the UK and this data details the equipment levels, option costs, economy, performance and even the running costs of all the new cars.
My advice is if you are in the market to change your car then get a copy of What Car to help you. ...
Advantages: A lot of onformation available Disadvantages: Not always bang up to date.
I was very surprised to find that no one else had reviewed this
magazine. I was under the impression that it was at least one of
Britain's best selling car magazines. Oh well. I hope mine is
sufficient. I have visited this site a few times. It doesn't seem to be updated as often as Autoexpress.co.uk (please read my review of that as well) but still, it has plenty of encyclopediac information available, such as car prices and specification. Also, ...

Advantages: well laid out, full of stats, takes years to read it all! Disadvantages: Puts you off buying that hot hatch when you see the MPG
What Car? is an epic Bible of a car magazine, full of every possible stat you could think of on every single car for sale in the UK. It was the 1st motoring magazine to include the specs for each and every car and soon all the competition followed suit, but What Car? Also has many other strengths over the competition.
Like most magazines What Car? starts of with short blips of news which would include items such as Safety breakthroughs and new cars ... ...its feet wet getting stuck into car reviews, and the magazine usually does this by road testing 3/4 similar cars i.e., Small Executives, and picks out the one it would recommend. In the tests all there is all the data you would expect from the cubic feet of space in the boot to the Miles Per Gallon of the car.
The magazine has competition from the likes of Top Gear and Autocar, but in my view for the serious car enthusiast this magazine is in a ...

Advantages: vast database of figures Disadvantages: much unchanged from month to month
To call What Car? a magazine seems a little unfair - it is in fact a giant tome of motoring statistics published monthly.
As a car buyers guide it has reasonable coverage fo the months new entrants to the UK car market, and three or four road tests or group tests along with a couple of features on safety or car security etc.
The strenght of this magazine is its impressivly in depth and well laid out facts and figures listing.
Every new car is ... ...information is vast and accurate.
However much of the detail is unchanged month to month so the regular purchase seems expensive at over £3 a copy. This magazine serves as a good reference for someone looking to purchase a new car who wants background before vising the showrooms or as a bi-annual purchase for the car buff, ...

Advantages: Great interior, wonderful drive Disadvantages: Costs more than other cars similar to it
Almost 6 months ago I decided to trade in my Ford Fiesta and get a proper car. I'd pretty much set my heart on a Golf but needed to try some other cars and also decide what mark Golf I wanted. After test driving a few cars I finally decided that the Golf was my favourite and that was what I was going to get. Next onto whether to get a mark 4 or mark 5. From the outside I definitely prefer the mark 4. Its more distinguished and easily recognisable. The mark 5 is recognisable but is not in the same category as the mark 4.
The thing that sold it to me was the interior. Once you site inside the mark 5 you can't help but be impressed. Of course the coolest thing of all (for both cars) is the blue dials but aside from the mark 5 looks and feels much better than its predecessor. As soon as you sit down at the drivers seat you are surrounded ...
Advantages: awesome amount of space Disadvantages: heavy on the fuel
the mondaeo.
When I got the car I paid £1700 but now you can get the same model for about £1000 and less, I think for what you get out of this car that I had a bargain ...

Advantages: online, has all the mags features Disadvantages: none
A guy of my age 28 with an strong interest in cars has grown up on the likes of auto express, top gear and whatcar.
I used to look at these magazines and dream of which car i could get when i grew up.
I had many debates about the ins and outs of car design, f1 and rallying in my youth at school and in college.
You had to wait either a week or a month depending on which magazine you bought to fuel a new debate or get one up on your mate.
My source of information was whatcar, this had all the new write ups and intesting tests plus new and used car prices.
The prices of which i used to compare with my savings account to see how far i was off a porsche 911, needless to say i still do 12 years later.
But since my school days there has been a new dawn and one we cant and shouldnt miss the internet.
Everyone who was and is someone i ...
