At first the Vehix website didn't impress us. We were disappointed that new car quotes weren't readily available, although it was somewhat made up for by user-friendly used car price research. Vehix eventually won us over, however, with their informative articles, interactive forums and stellar customer support.

• Helpful and informative automotive articles.
• Vehix.com video test drives.

Not only can you browse new car listings and perform automotive research on the Vehix website, but you can even list your own car for sale. And if you run into any problems at all you can simply pick up the phone – and get a live person! Vehix was one of the only sites to offer live toll-free customer support.

If you don't mind a lack of new car pricing information, Vehix is definitely a site you're going to want to check out. They earn 5.5 Stars!

There is no doubt that AutoByTel can meet the needs of car buyers interested in buying new or used cars and the site is quite easy to navigate. From quotes to actual new and used car shopping, this site has it all.

• Chance to enter the ‘Road Trip USA’ contest.
• 72 hour sale of 0% APR for 72 months on select vehicles like GMCs and Pontiacs.
• Featured photo catalog for a number of AutoByTel vehicles.

We also appreciated the fact that we could search local new and used car listings and be connected with dealers offering the cars we were interested in. It really beats dealing with “Slick” at the used car lot.

And we have to give AutoByTel credit for the fact that they take the time to engage with customers, even if it is a bit more of a “sales” feel than service. That can be overlooked, however, when you consider how involved AutoByTel is community matters. We definitely suggest checking them out if you're serious about buying your next car. AutoByTel gets 5.0 Stars!

After taking a close look at the Automart website, we really feel that it is a sound choice for individuals interested in purchasing a new or used car with the help of the Internet. The site offers a variety of search options on a wide range of vehicles and you can even search by fuel efficiency, which is a huge plus considering today's rising gas costs. If, however, you are not really ready to shop and you just want basic pricing information, there are better sites to visit.

• Special deals and incentives.
• Fuel efficient vehicle information.
• Price checker tools and payment calculators.

That being said, if shopping is what you're up for and basic quotes aren't all you need, Automart does offer good customer support. Although we would have liked to see a frequently asked questions page, the other customer service options made up for that gap in customer support and we found the blogs to be very helpful.

Overall, Automart is a useful site with easy access to tools that make the search process for a new vehicle much more enjoyable. They earn 5.0 Stars!

Automotive.com is definitely a great site to visit for new and used car quotes and other helpful automotive tools. We were able to get prices without actually talking to a dealer (which is always a plus) and we could search listings of cars that matched our description.

• Gas Widgets for continuous live updates on current gas prices.
• Vehicles showcases with limited time sales and specials
• Let dealers compete for your business with competitive online quotes.

That being said, we do have to say that the limited customer service did dim the Automotive experience a bit, but we do have to admit that the other information provided on the site is useful.

Before you go to a dealership, Automotive.com is certainly a website you'll want to explore. With numerous useful tools including insurance estimators and loan resources in addition to price quotes it's not hard to see why it's a popular stop for automotive enthusiasts. Star Reviews gives them 5.0 Stars!
