Honest car advice
Every week, thousands of Indian car buyers log on to CarToq.com (formerly www.dwsAuto.com) seeking honest advice on what car to buy. Before they go to a showroom and pay up, they want to hear what other car buyers have to say, how best their own requirements can be met, and whether to buy a car now or wait for a new launch.
The 87,500-strong community of car buyers, owners and enthusiasts on CarToq.com ensures that every user gets unbiased car advice that is tailored to his or her requirements.
CarToq is quickly becoming the must-see website for every intending car buyer or owner – not only for car advice, but also for its unique recommendation method and a variety of apps that help a car buyer narrow down his or her real options.
Q&As, videos and apps
CarToq.com has the largest repository of Q&As for buyers, owners and auto enthusiasts in the country. These include all the cars, SUVs and MUVs in the country – nearly 100 models and their 400-plus variants.
The site also has the biggest repository of car review videos, covering more than 50 car models. These 5-minute product videos have helped thousands of potential buyers get a better feel for the car before they go to test it at the showroom.
A bunch of apps on the site provide quick information and analysis not available anywhere else. The Instant Price Finder app, for example, gives the price of any variant of any car in any city with just one click. Two other apps on the site make tracking new launches a lot easier. They give you the latest information about launch timelines across various categories such as small cars, sedans and SUVs. Another unique analysis tool is the Diesel Decider – it helps you decide whether to buy a diesel or a petrol car, taking into account a host of factors such as monthly usage, mileage and price differences.
CarToq.com will continue to introduce new apps to make research a lot faster and easier for all.
How best to use CarToq.com
On CarToq.com, users can customize their research and the advice they can get.
