Aside from your home, a car is probably the biggest purchase you will make. The Top Gear shopping guide helps you get it right first time
Dad@Top Gear "When you've got teenage children,it's a nightmare choosing a car they'll let themselves be seen in,but it was a breeze with the Top Gear website. I clicked on "choosing a new car" and selected the type of car I was looking for. the site then took me through to independent reviews of some of the models I was interested in . I took their advice,and bought the new car online via Top Gear from a local dealership. Within days, a new convertible was in our drive. And even Vicky doesn't mind being seen dropped off at school in this car!" |
