Question for HJ.... - Phoenicks

HJ, some great bits from you in UCB and Telegraph, but most are very specific so i have a wider question (or 2..).

Quite simply, which is the best used car, in your impression, and which is the worst?

This is based on reliability, value, driving, ability to resell etc.

just interested to hear the industry/trades POV!

Quite simply, which is the best used car, in your impression,

and which is the worst?

surely that depends on what you want the car for?

It seems to me that somone who wants an everyday runabout on the cheap and is skilled with a spanner is going to have very different sort of best buy to someone who wants a hassle-free sports car for summer weekends ... and there's be a completely difft answer again for someone who wanted an economical way of driving high mileages.

Question for HJ.... - patently

And if there was one single answer then it would make 95% of the sales and the other 5% would go to muppets who didn't read up or ask around before buying.

Thus, it would be a bit obvious just by looking at a nearby stretch of road!
