At CarExpert, our New Car Journalists are seasoned experts who put every car they review through rigorous testing, but we also know there’s no substitute for hearing from people who own these cars and drive them daily.

That’s where owner reviews come in. These first-hand perspectives capture what it’s really like to own a vehicle, including things like running costs, the comfort factor on long drives, their reliability after thousands of kilometres, and little details that only emerge after months of use. It’s the real-world counterpart to our expert opinion and owner reviews are invaluable to new car buyers who are weighing up their options.

‍A smarter way to share your experience

We’ve reimagined owner reviews so it’s easier and more rewarding for you to contribute, with:

• guided prompts that help to shape your story — tell us why you chose your car and what you love (or dislike) about it
• streamlined ratings that mirror our expert reviews and make it simple for readers to compare professional analysis with real-world experience
• user-friendly layouts highlighting key areas that future buyers care about.

‍Why it matters for buyers

While our expert reviews focus on performance, safety, features, and technical details, owner reviews offer the day-to-day truth. Pairing professional evaluation and lived experience side-by-side gives potential buyers a more complete picture.

If you own a car, we’d love to hear from you. Head to our owner reviews page and follow the prompts to share your story and be part of CarExpert’s powerful community for new car buyers. Your insights could be the deciding factor for someone who is choosing their next car.
