Best Cars
Every model that we evaluate is put through rigorous testing, both in our laboratory and on real roads and a test track, so that we can better assist you in finding the automobile that best suits your needs. In order to construct the most comprehensive and accurate picture possible of a vehicle’s capabilities, we take into account every aspect of its operation, from the ease of the driver’s experience and the amount of space available inside the vehicle to the emissions produced by the engine and the estimated fuel economy. Then, in order to provide an in-depth analysis of long-term dependability, we combine the results of our tests with the comments made by approximately 60,000 car owners in the United Kingdom who participated in the largest automotive survey the country has ever conducted.
Nobody else conducts automobile evaluations with the same level of rigour and scientific precision as we do; no one else goes into as much depth.
In order to minimise prejudice and make certain that we provide the facts and not our own personal opinions, every test is directly comparable to every other exam.
Because we are totally neutral and independent, manufacturers are unable to sway the outcomes that we produce.
We put up to one hundred of today’s most popular mainstream automobiles through our testing procedures each and every year. These automobiles come from well-known manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Toyota, Volvo, and VW, as well as less well-known manufacturers like Ssangyong, Dacia, and Suzuki. As a result, we can guarantee that you will find a vehicle that is suitable for your requirements.
How can you tell if a car is a Best Buy?
When a vehicle is given the “Best Buy” designation after being put through our rigorous battery of lab and road tests as well as substantial owner input, you can rest assured that it is a good investment. Each and every car that is a Best Buy will be:
Enjoyable to drive: we put each vehicle through its paces on a variety of roadways, including city streets and highways, to simulate how people actually drive and to determine how effectively it accelerates, brakes, and responds to typical driving circumstances.
In order to provide you with an accurate depiction of what it is like to drive, ride as a passenger in, and utilise each vehicle on a daily basis, we evaluate the comfort of the seats, the ergonomics of the steering wheel and pedals, the level of interior noise, the visibility from all sides of the vehicle, the amount of interior space, and the amount of space available in the trunk.
Our reviews are your best guide to how clean the car is and how much you’ll spend on fuel, and no car can be a Best Buy if it pollutes excessively or is inefficient, so we collect our own exhaust emissions and fuel economy data using state-of-the-art equipment. Efficient and clean: Rather than trusting misleading manufacturer claims, we collect our own exhaust emissions and fuel economy data.
Reliability: If it’s possible, we incorporate owner feedback into our recommendations; nevertheless, if owners indicate that a vehicle is unreliable and needs to be taken to a garage on a frequent basis for repairs, then we cannot recommend it as a Best Buy. Due to the fact that we are aware of how vital dependability is, we have made it the primary focus of our evaluations.
