What Car cover December 2026

At a time when plenty of car buyers are looking to keep costs down, it's now more worth your while than ever to consider buying used. Doing so can get you a top-notch car at a bargain price, and means you get to take advantage of the effects of depreciation from a car's first owner.

So, which used cars are worth your time, and which aren't? Well, the latest issue of What Car? answers that very question, because we've just published the results of our annual Used Car of the Year Awards, where we've named the best used models across 10 popular categories, and crowned one as our overall champion.

If you're holding out for a new car instead, then you won't want to miss what happened when we pitched the new Kia EV2 against rivals from Toyota and Volkswagen to see who makes Britain's best small SUV. And we've also pitted the latest Tesla Model Y against the Mercedes GLB to see which seven-seater best deserves your money.
