I feel that this is a superb guide to buying a car for yourself. Pretty much every model is covered in this magazine, each with a detailed description of possible faults which are common in the car or things to watch out for, such as boy racer abuse. The book gives you the price which the car should be bought at and also, if you get the larger book, a picture of what the car looks like. The prices are very precise and posed of great use to me when i decided to buy a Peugeot 106 Quicksilver. I was in difficulty deciding which car to buy out of two and thus enquired in the Parkers guide. After doing so i was able to detect problems with one of the models and therefore bought the better one. Insurance details are also given which show the average price that you will have to pay in order to ensure your particular type of car, whether it be a small 106 like mine, or a larger car such as the Renault Laguna. Sports models are also included in the manual so you are able to look at what it would cost for you to buy your dream car
