The KIAs come with a 7 year warranty, the Toyotas come with a 5 year warranty, the Hondas have an excellent reputation for reliability (I currently run two) and the Mazda 2 is particularly nice to drive.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
