If you are luckily enough to be able to buy a new car there is some research you should do before going straight to the dealerships. It may be that you have always had a particular make of car and maybe it’s time for a change.

Different factors are important when it comes to buying a car for different people. The majority of people do consider the fuel economy, cost of parts and labour, warranties and reliability.

My advice to you is to carry out some research, do not just read what the manufacturer says about the car but if possible talk to people that already own the car or read their reviews online. There are quite a few car websites out there that sum up good and bad points about the particular make and model of a vehicle which can be very useful.

Each car is different so if someone has had a poor experience with their car it doesn’t mean you will, but there does seem to be some general trends.
