For starters I have to thank Jill and Kerry for purchasing such an invaluable tool. Having recently been in the market for a new car and being a single woman, I was able to make my decision with a little more confidence than I would otherwise have had.
The Dog & Lemon Guide is the 800 page printed companion to the on-line Dog & Lemon Guide and as the cover suggests “it’s like a Lonely Planet Guide to the world of cars”.
It is primarily a collection of car reviews covering all vehicles manufactured between 1993 and 2009.
Each review includes a reliability rating, safety rating, what you would expect to pay for each model (new, private used and from a dealer used), a general blurb on each and what you might expect to go wrong with this particular model, fuel economy as well as other useful features. Other chapters include ‘Cars & the world we live in’, ‘Safety’ and ‘How to use these reviews’.
This publication is not intended to be a ‘one stop shop’ when purchasing a car, nor is it designed to replace a mechanic’s inspection or a detailed NRMA style report, but it provides a useful place to start when purchasing a vehicle and enables the consumer to make more informed decisions in regards to that purchase.
