Showroom Cars

With the 08 reg plate now out, we run the rule over five of the hottest properties on the new car market – and explain how to get the best deal.

Fiat showroom

No other new car launched so far this year has captured the public imagination quite like the Fiat 500. But before we get too carried away about the latest Italian beauty, it’s worth bearing in mind that all five models featured over the following six pages are new in showrooms and worthy of your attention.

More than that, in fact. If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, we’d urge you to seek out your nearest dealer and pop in to check them out – each one of these 2008 gems is something special. All have already been put through their paces in Auto Express first drives and road tests. But what this feature aims to do is delve even further into the nitty gritty of what you need to know if you’re in the market for a new car.

So we asked main dealers about possible discounts, model availability and waiting times. We searched online for great offers and checked out which brands have the best showrooms. We’ve even suggested which is the best model in each range. All you have to do is head to your local outlet.
