The Carbuyer.co.uk test explained
Carbuyer's crystal clear road tests are like no other… We put ourselves in your shoes to deliver easy to understand, practical judgements on all the cars that matter.
We spend hundreds of hours a month filming, photographing and comparing countless of new cars, while our expert road test team has been driving thousands of miles to paint the clearest picture possible of the new vehicle market.

We answer the questions that really matter to you
When it comes to family cars and people carriers, we’ve measured boot space and tried the back seats for size. Our small car tests have seen us hit city streets, loaded with shopping, hunting for parking spaces.
Our tests are designed to replicate real life, not prove how fast we can drive around a test track.
What's more, we’ve read every customer satisfaction report, digested warranty and repair data and searched official records for safety related recalls, so you don’t have to…
Running costs and pricing reviewed
We’ve analysed pricing and equipment levels, and looked at running costs to judge value for money. You can also compare cars like-for-like, and store details of your favourites quickly, securely and conveniently.
The best, from across the web
Finally we have searched for and combined the best review content available from across the web, to offer up second opinions on all the key models – saving you time and energy.
As our Plain English Crystal Mark proves, our concise, easy to understand buying advice is jargon free – and is backed up with the very best technical data available.

I see the Dacia duster is at number 2?
They review it as having a poor quality interior and say it can only manage 3 stars in the ncap test, yet they place it at number 2! I saw one in a garage recently and I thought that the metal used in the bodywork was very thin and it had a generally cheap feel to the whole vehicle. Previously..

Interesting that the Land Rovers are the only real off road vehicles there.

Unfortunately, there's getting to be precious few choices these days if you want more than a caravan tower or something to drive across a grass field. If not LR, you've only got the Land Cruiser, the Gwagen and the little Jeep unless you dig into the history books for older stuff.

I never understood the appeal of non-offroading 4x4s. A 4wd car (eg Audi with Quattro) will drive better, look better, offer similar space, and be more efficient.

^ Its the driving position. Anything near a command position is highly sought after by "On Road" users these days....

Agreed. I went to the Car Show here a few months back. Sat in a nice, new Merc S500 and I didn't like view/feel vs my L322.
