From the guides
- Hybrid, plug-in or full-electric: which numbers set the difference A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) covers 40–90 km on electric alone (WLTP figure); a self-charging hybrid has no plug and cannot.
- How to read our reliability score The score combines ADAC breakdown statistics (Germany’s main motoring club), RDW recall records and aggregated owner reports. Each source sits under the figure.
- WLTP versus real-world consumption: why the figures diverge In practice an EV typically delivers 20–35% less range than the WLTP figure; for petrol that gap is 10–20%.
The catalogue
274 models, 52 brands, fuel types from electric to diesel, plus archive pages back to 1995. Every page shows official specs, a score for durability, reliability and efficiency (each with source and reference date), and owner reviews. No buying or financing advice.
House rules
We sell nothing, and it shows in how we write.
Most car sites earn when you buy. We run on ads instead of commission, so you will not find a “best for you”, a lead form or a nudge anywhere on the page. Every figure traces back to an official register or a named source. Three rules we hold ourselves to:
No dealer pays us per click, so nothing here is bent toward a sale. Where the data runs out we say so plainly, rather than guess.
-
Specs you can trace
Power, weight and charging time, taken from official datasheets and open registers such as the RDW (the Dutch vehicle authority) and KBA (Germany’s federal motor transport authority), never from a data aggregator. The reference date sits next to every figure, so you can see how old it is and judge for yourself whether it still holds.
-
A figure, and where it came from
One score each for durability, reliability and efficiency. The source sits under every score. When the data is too thin to stand behind, it reads “n/a” (not available); we will not invent a number to fill a gap.
How we rate -
Reviews we don’t touch
Owner reviews run as written, beside a labelled, attributed summary of what the press concluded. We fix typos, never sentiment or a score. Nobody on the desk steers you; the numbers are on the page and the choice is yours.
