Good Points: Lots and lots of cars to choose from. Fixed price, so no awkward haggling situations.

Bad Points: Cars are generally high mileage.

General comments: We have now bought two cars from Car Giant, and would recommend them.
The cars are often high mileage ex-company cars. We see this as a plus, because company cars are usually well serviced; and the high miles are mostly done on motorways - so there's less strain on the car compared to stop-start traffic.
You can sit in and look into as many cars as you like, but can only test drive two per day (not sure how they check on this?). The test drive is nothing more than a trip around the industrial estate.
Despite this, they will fix any problems you may encounter after you get the car home. They have a schedule based on value/mileage. The minimum period you have to take it back is 30 days. The maximum (from memory) was 90 days. We think this is long enough to find any faults.
How do we know about this? Because our car was faulty! We took it back, it spend a week being repaired (and they gave us a car to use whilst it was being repaired), and then all was fine.

Due to insurance reasons (no trade plates available) test drives are limited to driving up a side road and back, so I would heartily recommen ...
