How we test cars
Our thorough lab and road tests allow us to assess all the most important aspects of a car. Plus our annual reliability survey allows us to incorporate feedback from tens of thousands of car owners. Which means we can tell you what a car's like to live with and whether it's reliable, or not.
Whatever your needs, our unique independent testing will tell you everything you need to know to choose your next car.
Our reviews answer the most crucial questions about cars:
How practical and spacious is the car?
How comfortable is it?
What’s it like to drive?
What are its true fuel economy and emissions levels?
How safe is it?
How reliable is it?
