My used car stinks of smoke - can I return it?
I bought a used Honda Civic (2013) a few days ago from a Honda dealer. I was told it was a non-smoker's car, but since getting it home I've noticed it smells of smoke. What's the best thing to do? Request they pay for a valet? Reject it and drive it back?

Tell them it has been smoked in, you can prove it, and you're bringing it back for a full refund. The car has a specific fault which you specifically asked about and they denied. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/consumer-rights/
