they put my s5 under audi a5 and after i realised that my car was not appearing in the search results for s5, i contacted piston heads. they acknowledged they put it under wrong car heading but didnt apologise. so i lost a week on a paid advert (used to be free) and after enquiring why this happened i got no reply. i put a complaint and also no reply. terrible

Used to be free... had several cars on it not 1 response.

If you like cars this website should come with a health warning - many hours will be lost !

A lot of forums suffer if there are a lot of sections, but Pistonheads has the shear weight of posters to keep most turning over nicely. Seems to be the 'go to' place for some marques. Only downside is a place so popular will naturally attract some idiots, but it seems the people behind the scenes actively filter, so trouble is brief and never becomes a problem.

Put car for sale 3 weeks ago at a price to sell,not one call.Parked it on main road with same price in window and it was sold within 2 hours

I left my home country, as one does, on a Greyhound bus, cast out, in the words of Roderick Stuart, by the ones I loved, and found myself adrift, alone and bereft in a new and strange place the locals called the web. Clinging for comfort to the lightbulb bequeathed to me by the youngest of my birth mothers I somehow chanced upon Pistonheads. Oh, what wonders there confronted me! Almost impossible to classify. With the Alanis Morisette inducing exception of the classifieds, wherein I procured myself transport for the rest of my journey. I shall not detain you, dearest reader of these meagre words, with the trials that followed, of the long dark night that culminated in a travel lodge on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, the subsequent surgery and recuperation, or the joyous meeting with the lesser of the Chuckle Brothers, where the wisdom of the ages was bestowed upon your humble narrator. Let it simply be known that, throughout it all, and in accordance with the prophecy, it was Pistonheads that guided me.

...all of which have been sold to genuine people, within a few days of the ads going live with prices ranging from £1500 - £17,000. I've even sold a motorbike with a lapsed MOT with ease! Recommended and always used, the ease of uploading and fast response means I'm not going anywhere else. Cheap too at under a tenner.

Ive been on pistonheads since the early days, made some great friends, and found out loads of things about buying and running my cars. its also a great place to find out about racing and ive even picked up a few business tips. The site is split between the news area and the forums. the journalist driven items are as high quality as any printed media, and the forums cover a vast spread of topics. well worth a browse.

I've been using this site for years, it's always been a great forum - incredibly busy, but these days you can lose hours in the classifieds, and watch Chris Harris videos. A great way to waste time and build your fantasy garage.

I've used this site to sell my wife's Golf and her Mini. It was really easy to create the ad and upload pictures, it was great value (just under a tenner - much cheaper than comparable sites) and I found that I got lots of phone calls and emails from people wanting to buy both cars. I eventually sold the Mini and the Golf to people I found through PistonHeads and I'd recommend it to others. I'm on PistonHeads all the time now. I can't leave the classifieds alone, there are just too many tempting cars on there. The forums are great as well - plenty of good advice and laughs to be had.

I use this site on a daily basis, both for the news and articles on the home page and the forums. Articles are often in depth and always well written, often the first for news about all things automotive. The forum provides a knowledgeable and helpful community on a great number of subjects, from Heath and fitness, cooking, photography, pets and of course all things automotive. I also really like the functionality of the forum with its clean design and excellent moderation. The classifieds have provided me with three cars, all described well with a good selection of photographs.
