Buying a car is one of the most expensive purchases most people are going to make so the publishers have made a magazine which makes buying a new car much easier that any other mag in the country. It contains the most popular cars in the UK e.g. Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 206,Toyota Yaris and one of my faviroutes, Fiats wonder car the Punto!! The contenders are nicely laid out beside one another, and then the test is started!. The cars are marked out of 5 for each rating. The cars are tested for the following. Performance . Ride and handling . Refinement . Behind the wheel . Equipment . Space . Reliability . Safety . Security . Buying and owning Q&A Q and A is a brilliant way to have your problems answered and discussed with the whole of England!.

The top 20 buying tips are a brilliant way to make sure you are getting the best deal from your dealer and make sure you are not paying out money which will not add value to your vehicle e.g. special trim body kits and special colours which dealers may talk you into buying do not add value to your vehicle when it comes to re sell!.

This magazine is priced at a brilliant price of only £3.20 which can be bought at any good newsagents and the occasional corner shop and most supermarkets
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

Great op, very useful, but I thought you might like to know that you've repested it. Still a great op though. Jayne

A good opinion, you appear to have pasted the same opinion twice though, so it might be an idea to get rid of the bottom one or something like that. Very well written, would be a VH from me if you mentioned the group tests a bit, perhaps also a bit could be said about some of the regular monthly features like the imports & special deals on offer from various companies.
