Australia’s number 1 car blog

April 22, 2008 by Alborz Fallah  




It’s not often I write a promotional piece for CarAdvice, our competitors and their multimillion dollar budgets have been quick to dismiss us for a long time, but we have been here for less than 2 years and have managed some extraordinary things. And now, dare I say, it’s official.

Australia’s number 1 car blog

Last weekend’s Courier Mail ran a segment on the top blogs in Australia, specifically, the top 10. We are honoured to take the best motoring blog award and also be included in the top 10 list. Many thanks to all of you, our loyal visitors.

Two years down, many many more years to come. Make sure you click on the image above to see the other top 9 blogs, all worthy of a visit.

    It’s all due to my classy posts :)

  2. Hmm... says:

    Good work guys – proud to be part of this site and seen it grow over the 1.5 years i’ve been on here…

  3. realcars says:

    u deserve it. Your reviews are excellent.

  4. BurtROS says:

    no surprises here, since I found this site some 6 months ago, i’ve canceled my subscription to both wheels and motor, why read something a month late when you can read it the day it happens (and ITS FREE!)?

    Besides, everyone knows the big guys will never say anything bad about their advertisers (Holden/Ford etc) so anything they write is practically useless… You guys bagged the TRD aurion when there where ads for it on the site. Thats called honesty.

    Keep up the good work.

  5. Captain Mainwaring says:

    Well done boys.

  6. Joober says:

    Well done, this website gets updated frequently and have good reviews so its all good!

  7. Max says:

    Good work lads, stay honest :)

    oh and, Mark Webber?

  8. alborz says:

    Not sure what the comment was suppose to suggest Max, still trying to work that one out, perhaps one of our users calls him self mark webber?

  9. Bavarian Missile says:

  10. Oz. says:

    Well Done! :) …But seriously though, is that the real Mark Webber on the forum?

  11. Mr Drive Blogs says:

    :(

  12. Jase says:

    I am proud to say that i’ve been pretty much going on Car Advice, since the very beginning. The reviews are fantastic so is the news.

    Car Advice is undoubtedly the number 1 site!

  13. Nathan says:

    Some bagged the TRD Aurion while other reporters thought differently.

  14. Baji says:

    Congratulations guys. Well done. Keep up the good work.

  15. AGM says:

  17. anthony C says:

    cookie

  18. Well done lads – including; but not limited to:

    1. Top reviews on a regular basis
    2. Great pics on a regular basis
    3. Stories with bite and clarity on cars (and not own ego) on a regular basis
    4. The most important one is you involve yourself in review and respond and join in…..this means it augers well as you do “not” carry your nose higher and treat people with respect, unlike other websites
    5. Call a spade a spade and no beating around the bush

    CONGRATS GUYS AND KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!

  19. NATHAN……dont single out TRD here, as it is that opinion elsewhere. They called it like they saw it….and not called it with there wallet from promos with certain conditions forced on them from car manufacturers!

  20. …..oh and participation with videos as with practice makes perfect and they are getting cool as one does not award Academy Awards but more so award guts to talk about real issues and real cars with the glitz glam of others!

  21. typo……..without the glitz and glam of others!

  22. Jimbo says:

    Well done, car advive. The best car blog I have found on the net.

  23. FOOTNOTE….keep us in tune with future models as that is vital to see what look, style and technology is around corner as all car enthusiasts want that! Not many websites do it…………til CARADVICE!

  24. Oz. says:

    As a Ford fan it is obvious that I’m suggesting this site should do it’s own video review of the FG Falcon!

  25. c1ockwork says:

    Jeez, I could have told you that! :-)

    Congratulation on the formal recognition.

  26. Carl says:

    Congratulations!!!

    I’ve only been onto this site for 2 or 3 months but have enjoyed it immensely!!!

  27. Casey says:

    Congratulations guys. Despite all the trials and budget constraints you’ve so often alluded to, CarAdvice still manages to beat the big guys at their own game (in my humble opinion). Don’t change a thing, well done!

  28. Boggy says:

    Congrats Guys i love your site and as i am in the motor industry i refer clients to it on a daily basis because your reviews are a very easy and entertaining read without constant bias . I wish you all more success Cheers !!

  29. Well done guys. The success is well and truly deserved. Being from the western side of the continent, I am lucky enough to now be able call Karl a friend. His passion for cars is obviously shared by all staff on here, and it translates into a fantastic site.

    Happy to have been lucky enough to throw a few bits of content in too.

  30. Kris says:

    Congratulations guys, well deserved.

  31. David (OMC) says:

    Well deserved as I use info on here about Mazda’s and link it to my website Ozmazdaclub.com

    The website is easy to use and very informative

    Thank you.

    Dave

    Good work, gentlemen/ladies. I work in the automotive industry and use this site as a daily news source. I’ve been visiting regularly (albeit, without comment) for about a year now and am constantly impressed with the speed, accuracy, and neutrality of reports. It’s just a shame that the discussion of articles is let down by a select few who consistently engage in childish, one-eyed, “brand X is the best, everything else is complete $h|t” arguments and bickering. If this sort of behaviour were moderated more stringently, the resulting higher quality of discussion would turn what is a very good site into an outstanding one.

  33. Mitch says:

    Nice work guys, how many visiters you getting a month?

  34. Phill says:

    Go Car Advice

  35. Phillip says:

    Congrats guys! Your site is always my first point of reference when checking out cars as you seem to actually have a passion for what you write about.

    Another publication which I won’t mention seems to just tick boxes and then recommend some dull box on wheels with woeful driving dynamics. You guys seem to be more capable of seeing past the airbag, kw, rear shoulder room counts and actually report on how the car makes you feel, which lets face it is probably the most important thing.

  36. NIK516 says:

    YOU GUYS AND GIRLS DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT.
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

  37. No Name says:

    Good Oh folks – you deserve it after all that so called hard work flying to Europe testing fabulous supercars!!!

    Funny Dingo nor TP have made comments on this. Are they really on the payroll?

  38. John says:

    I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. Congrats.

  39. Holden Parts says:

    Great site guys. Keep up the good work..

  40. Car Auction says:

    Nice work guys.. Keep it up.. Ill hang around often in this blogsite.

  41. Alex says:

    If there is anyone interested in 2009 Mustangs give me a cal l 818-309-9580. Prices very resonable give me a call.
