How To Read Car Reviews
When looking to buy a new or used car it is advisable to read a number of reviews from motor journalists, magazines, industry experts and owners. These reviews will help you decide if the car will fit your requirements, any manufacturing faults, recalls and safety campaigns it may be subject to, plus any other issues which may affect your decision. Make a list of what is important to you and search for those specific terms. Some motor journalism is designed to entertain as much as to inform, and this may mean upon reading it you are sold on the idea because you have been entertained, not because you have found it to be suitable. One popular UK television programme and magazine is notorious for this. Keep your list handy and stick to it, adding to it if more ideas come to you. It's important to read review from all segments, remember these reviews are written by people, with opinion which may not match your own.
For example, if you need more space than your current car offers you may be dissuaded from a vehicle which has been described as too small by someone posting on a forum. But too small for what? That individual may have a family of five, for whom which many cars would be too small, but may suit your needs perfectly. Use the internet to find facts and figures on vehicles you are interested in. If you want to see how much more space you will have or how much more powerful it will be than your current vehicle, find facts and figures from the manufacturer which will allow you to compare the two. If you find facts and figures from site snot belonging to the manufacturer be advised they may not be wholly accurate. Or example, if you search the brake horse power (bhp) of a Mk4 Volkswagen Golf GTI you may find differences of up to 5 bhp.
While this is not a decision making amount of power it is an example of the inaccuracies you may find while researching for information on your new potential purchase. Wherever possible get the facts from the manufacturers site to avoid confusion and false information. There are many reputable websites which can be found easily through the internet to read reviews of cars by both owners and journalists. You will usually find lovers and haters of most vehicles, be prepared to take each with a pinch of salt. A car is essentially a machine, and as such inevitably most car makers will experience a little trouble at some point with a particular model. If one owner has a hard time and has a real dislike for the model you are interested in don't be put off just yet. Read more reviews, check facts online, and make your own decisions. If you search you are likely to find many reviews saying just the opposite. When you have narrowed your search down to a select few possibles, contact your local car dealership to arrange a test drive. Write a new list with any questions you have about each vehicle, and don't forget to take your driving licence, both parts, or you may not be able to drive the car. Most new car sales and used car sales businesses are open seven days a week and will try their best to accommodate you. Your sales person will be a font of knowledge on the vehicles for sale so don't be afraid to ask. If you don't feel the cars you have tested are quite what you are looking for, see if your sales person can recommend anything else. Once they know what you are looking for they may be able to recommend another vehicle in stock which you were unaware of, or they may have just the car for you at another site nearby.
