“Umpleasant Honest John - Too full of his own self...”

Written on: 26/03/2013

I asked Honest John a simple & specific questions about DPF additives. He did not answer my question but gave me an answer to a question I did not ask. When I responded that as a Telegraph reader & subscriber I was disappointed in his reply I got an almost abusive response advising me that I was lucky to get any free response & reply from him. He says the Telegraph don't pay his wages!! You can be sure he gets a "fat" fee for his weekly column. His head has obviously got too big for the... (read more)

What an Unpleasant man! I wrote explaining that a Tow Bar fitted to my car had saved my family from serious injury many years ago, when a car ploughed into the back of my stationary vehicle, and since then I had always had a tow bar fitted for safety, his reply, was that "It is people like you that have caused me Thousands of pounds of damage to my cars by reversing int them! that my email would be binned!

Totally agree with this reviewer. When I responded to him that I was disappoint that he had not answered my specific questions and he had just told be to "buy another car" I received a rude and unpleasant reply from him saying I was lucky to get any reply all from him.
Daily Telegraph seriously review who you use as "ambassador" when responding with loyal readers!!!

Written on: 20/09/2010

like others have said, this was once a really GREAT website. but has gone seriously down hill. you cant say anything on the forum without someone nit picking on silly things or trying to correct you. also too many adverts. i guess money has taken over and that is whats driving the site now.

id recommend using friendlier forums like Piston Heads or sites specific to your brand of car.
It's a pity as I used to check this site every day and really liked the banter that went on. You can... (read more)

Written on: 01/09/2010 by oldhenry (4 reviews written)

Not as good as it used to be. Now full of self-rightous types withh little in the way of real help to an ordinary motorist. Also , has a tendency to be anti- speed restrictions biased. This is not a sensible way to go in any civilised society. If you do not like the law, agitate to the lawmakers, rather than ranting on website to all and sundry.
HJ site now is a trivial site and I would advise people to look at specific sites with their problems, i.e the club sites for their cars. (read more)

Written on: 07/06/2010

Used to be a great site until they redeveloped it. I used to use it around the early 2000's and it was a friendly forum and a good site for motoring news. Now it's full of pop up adverts and the moderators make it an uncomfortable place to chat. I use Piston Heads now, much better and more like the Honest John site of years ago. (read more)

Written on: 06/06/2008 by Carrie Vahn (7 reviews written)

I like Honest John car reviews. The website is also a news site for motoring as well as a car reviews website. I was looking at the reviews of the Ford Kuga as my husband is raving about it and I wanted to see what he plans to spend our kid's inheritance on! (read more)

Written on: 03/01/2008 by blackwaterman (32 reviews written)

All aspects of car ownership are covered in depth from selection through purchase, insurance, repairs, sales at www.honestjohn.co.uk. Good up-to date knowledge even in areas like motoring law, finance, insurance and repairers. An insight into the trade is given, and their point of view can often be illuminating. (read more)
