What are the best websites to find a used car?

What are the best websites to capture used cars for sale up to 5 years old? Are there any physical car supermarkets still in business or are they all like Cazoo where your chosen car is first seen when it's delivered to your door? My last purchase was 7 years ago so I'm out of date.

I'm thinking of a Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris or a similar small car with a high seat for a good view.

The majority of dealers (including car supermarkets) will advertise on classifieds sites such as AutoTrader and PistonHeads so I would advise using one of them to zero in on the car you're looking for based on your budget and the condition (age and mileage). That's the easiest way to find out what you can get for your money, armed with that knowledge you can then hunt out the same car on sites like Cazoo or heycar, which offers a warranty with all the cars it sells.

Alternatively, you could look at our Honest John Cars for Sale site: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/

We rate both the Yaris and the Jazz, reviews of both are below.

Toyota Yaris (2020 on)

Looks great on the outside and isn't too shabby on the inside either. Hybrid engine is cheap to run and relaxing. Autonomous aids make long drives painless.
