Car and motorbike comparisons

Cars and motorbikes compared side by side — price, fuel economy, parts and resale — with the sources each comparison read. 3 so far, newest first.

How to choose: what to compare in cars & bikes

  1. Price, and what it will be worth when you sell it.
  2. Fuel economy in the traffic you actually drive in.
  3. Parts and servicing: how easy and cheap they are to find where you live.
  4. Reliability record and the common faults owners report for that model and year.
  5. For a motorbike: comfort for your daily distance, braking, and the cost of insurance and registration.

Questions people ask

What should I check when comparing used cars?

The model’s common faults, how available and affordable its parts are, fuel economy, and resale value — then the condition and history of the particular car, which no comparison can tell you.
