Although Honda motor company has produced cars almost as long as they have produced motorcycles, it was not until the gas crisis of the 70s that their fuel efficient vehicles became popular in the United States. Today, Honda continues to manufacture some of the most fuel efficient vehicles available so that used Honda cars are among the most popular used vehicles.

There was a time that the life expectancy of a vehicle was around 100,000 miles. Today, vehicle life expectancy is much greater. Many vehicles remain very dependable at the 200,000 to 300,000 mile range if they have regular service. This makes used vehicles a great bargain.

Everyone knows that it is unlikely that the future of the automotive industry relies on cars running on petrol or diesel. In fact, it is fair to assume that the coming few years or decade will probably spell the beginning of the end for all cars that depend purely on these environmentally unfriendly fuels. What we aren't so good at predicting, however, is what will replace this technology. We know it will be something greener and more energy efficient (as our sources of fuel are fast running out on this poor planet), but as for more than that we simply can't decide.

If you are looking for an economic little hatchback or indeed just an economic little car, then there are plenty of different options on the busy used car market. If you want one that likes to have fun, and which has a sense of humour in the bargain, then the options begin to narrow. Economy, fun and silliness in one great package? Well, the only really option is to buy a used Smart car. This Mercedes-Benz owned company produce these brightly coloured cars with lots of variations and personalisation options, all of which are surprisingly good for the environment.

Used Saab may sound like the perfect solution to those nibbling money strains and to an extent it may well be. Running down the path to the used cars may be extremely worthwhile, but just because they're used doesn't necessarily mean they will be much cheaper. Underneath the dazzle and excitement of bagging yourself a cheap, swanky used Saab, comes the pile of paperwork. There are the scales to consider, the disadvantages attached to one side, and the advantages clinging onto the alternate side. Know the facts; understand exactly what you are looking for and get clued up, before you move one more step into this idea.

Audi are perhaps not quite the first car manufacturer that I would think of if challenged to come up with a manufacturer with expertise in the SUV area. After all, there are plenty of obvious SUV choices, and the full list of brands who produced something in the right area is pretty darn extensive. When I think about it a bit more, however, it is actually quite clear that Audi have a small but concise range of impressively high quality SUVs.

Ok, I admit it I have succumbed to the eco-friendly realm of popularity. When the Toyota Prius first came out in 1997 I didn't notice many on the road. This could have been because it was one of the first commercial cars on the market and first impressions were sceptical. However in the last few years or so I have seen a definite increase in the number of Prius vehicles on the road. The thought of saving the planet is appealing if the hybrid vehicle allows less carbon to enter into the atmosphere. This is a great idea particularly because many scientific experts predict that oil will run out in some estimates as soon as 50 years.

In the rather saturated sports saloon market, it can be argued that there is no finer example of driving excellence than the ample display of the BMW M5. For a good few years now the M5 has held dominance over practically every other manufacturer competing for a more equal share of the market. In the opinion of both automotive journalists, critics and the buying public, the M5 has seen of all competition including their direct German rivals in Audi and Mercedes Benz.

The greatest accolade of all is that at one stage the BMW M5 was outselling the Ford Mondeo in Great Britain, which is incredible considering that the Mondeo has formed the backbone of British driving for the past decade. Whatever tries to knock the M5 of its perch had better be good.
