Description

Having spent the last 20-odd years driving different cars on a weekly basis, often twice a week, George Fowler is more qualified than most to hold an opinion that counts. A reader of his Motormouth column once asked him what he thought about a car he'd praised, and added: "I know you get paid by the manufacturers to say nice things, so I just wondered what you really thought."That week, a furious Fowler absolutely slaughtered the then new Nissan Primera, and added at the end of his column: "How much do you think Nissan paid me for that, Mr Smith of Preston?" He didn't get a reply.If your car is, or was, remotely good then you won't find it in this book.On the other hand, if it's here, don't expect any sympathy.

Author description

Honest John wrote the Motoring Agony Column in The Daily Telegraph singlehandedly for 20 years, from January 1995 to January 2015, and started his own website - honestjohn.co.uk - in 2000. Having answered around 800,000 letters, emails and 'Ask HJ's from Telegraph readers and devotees of his own website, he uniquely knows what turns the British public on, and off, about cars. He has also compiled the world's biggest car-by-car review section, highlighting car problem areas: if you ever want to know "what could possibly go wrong," have a look, over at honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/
