Our video department has tried something a little different. Instead of reviewing three new cars, we pieced together a triple test of three slightly ropey used ones to find out what it’s like to live with a cheap car on a budget.
Luke, Alan and Ryan subjected the three cars to a series of challenges to see which (if any) would falter – and whether you can still manage to find a reliable daily driver that’s fun to own, even when you’re shopping at the lowest end of the market.

It’s a little less serious than our usual content, but we hope you can have as much fun watching the video as we did making it. Click the thumbnail above to watch the full group test – and let us know in the YouTube comments section if this is something you’d like to see more of on the Parkers channel.
Don’t forget to subscribe and keep your eyes trained on the Parkers YouTube channel. We’ve got an exciting new triple test coming your way soon in which we’ll tackle what’s arguably the most hotly contested region of the new car market.
