New car-related content on its way - (pretty) please will you send us your car reviews

JustineMumsnet · 28/05/2012 10:47

For a while now, folks have been telling us that they'd like a place where parents could find more info on the best cars available to suit their growing families. Plus we know that many parents use our cars forum to find out which cars will take three child seats in the back, which have boots big enough to take a double buggy plus the week's grocery shop, or what the cheapest and most reliable 7 seater is etc etc.

So we're very pleased to say that we'll soon be launching Mumsnet Cars for which we'll be partnering with the folk at What Car? to bring you the most up to date and relevant car information to inform your choices. This, along with tried and tested advice and Mumsnetter user reviews means that you'll have access to the very best advice to help make the right car-buying decision.

But we need your help - you might have noticed that our new Reviews section includes a space for you to add your car reviews. We'd love for as many Mumsnetters as possible to add a review of their car - to help others make the decision about what car is right for them. Add yours now.

Mumsnet Cars will be launching next month. We'll let you know as soon as it goes live and of course will be terrified of looking forward to getting your feedback and improving and moulding our offering accordingly.

Do we get discounts? I'm in the market for a new car, and it would really help Grin

thereinmadnesslies · 28/05/2012 12:34

Was going to add a review but the links don't work from my iPad Sad

hermioneweasley · 28/05/2012 12:46

doesn't seem to be working. it didn't register when i clicked on the stars and when I tried to submit i got an error message. bit annoying after writing the review

naturalbaby · 28/05/2012 12:51

Hoorah, I'm in the market for a 7 seater that fits 3 car seats across the back and the last year has been hard work trying to work out what to do. I really don't fancy dragging 3 kids round all the local car showrooms, and most of them never have their bigger cars in stock anyway.

Memoo · 28/05/2012 12:53

I was going to but can't see how to leave a review.

FashionEaster · 28/05/2012 13:02

Done

CatherineHMumsnet · 28/05/2012 13:05

hermioneweasley - what browser were you using?

Memoo - if you click on the link above what happens? It should take you through to the cars page on reviews and then there's a red button at the top for adding a review.

Thereinmadnesslies - just tested it on a iphone and it worked, but will have to find an iPad to see what's wrong. The links to post a review etc look faded out but if you click on them, they should work.

thereinmadnesslies · 28/05/2012 13:12

All three links are a bright blue on the iPad, but nothing happens if I touch them.
Maybe I'm not eligible - I have a VW Beetle which isn't exactly a practical family car!!

weblette · 28/05/2012 13:16

I hope it's less ditzy and patronisng than evecars.com, their other link-up.

landofsoapandglory · 28/05/2012 13:23

The links don't work from my iPad either!

CatherineHMumsnet · 28/05/2012 14:00

Right - will go off and have a look on the iPad to see what's occurring. Thanks for letting us know.

CatherineHMumsnet · 28/05/2012 14:07

Very strange. Just tried in on the iPad and the links were all working. Can't seem to replicate your problems.

thereinmadnesslies - what page are you when you say all three links are a bright blue?

Whatevertheweather · 28/05/2012 14:50

Nothing happens when I click on the links from my iphone4 either

cocolepew · 28/05/2012 15:50

Buy a Toyota.

HTH.

VivaLeBeaver · 28/05/2012 16:29

I've done a review.

HarrietSchulenberg · 28/05/2012 16:47

Is it going to include older cars, or is it just a glorified sales site for new ones?

PurplePidjin · 28/05/2012 16:51

Not sure you want a review of mine; he's 41 years old and probably going to have to go into storage before pfb makes an appearance Sad

klaxon · 28/05/2012 16:54

I have also done a review for my monster Zafira.

MummyDoIt · 28/05/2012 17:22

Just did you a lovely review of a Toyota Prius but got an error message when I tried to preview it and it then lost all my hard work! Will give it another go later.

BibiBelle · 28/05/2012 18:53

I'm going to be reviewing my sodding less than 2yr old Ford Galaxy that some eejit designed!

naturalbaby - I've just done the whole reseach thing and LOVE my Galaxy apart from a few minor (stupid) flaws. All 3 kids fit beautifully across the back and the two seats in the boot hold adults not just kids like our shitey Renault Grand Scenic/Zafira Smile Similar to the VW Sharan and the Seat Alhambra. Hope that helps.

BibiBelle · 28/05/2012 19:11

Mine's up now, hope it helps someone.

OliviaLMumsnet · 28/05/2012 19:46

Grin at BIWI
Hopefully no one pays sticker (west wing geek reference)

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 28/05/2012 21:55

I've just posted one via the above link using an IPad.

MonsterBookOfTysons · 28/05/2012 22:55

Nobody would care about my review of a V reg Mondeo, my best car yet. Never, Ever get a Rover 45!

bigjoeent · 29/05/2012 10:05

Tried to post a review on a volvo xc90, couldn't find a category to do so in 4x4. Its a great car with a built in booster seat.
