We have now published almost 100 owner reviews on CarExpertcovers everything from Suzuki Cappuccino to Nissan Patrol.
We don’t expect professional quality work, but having edited some of it, there are a few things to keep in mind if you want your work to really stand out.
First, focus on details. That means you arrange the units correctly and make sure you capitalize the words that need to be capitalized.
There is one correct way to write down most of the units you will use in your review:
- kg: kg
- Kilowatts: kW
- Kilometers: kilometers (not kilometers)
- Newton meter: Nm
- Kilometers per hour: km/h
- Liters per 100km: L / 100km
- Engine speed: revolutions or rpm
There are also many common words that are easy to understand, among them are Apple CarPlay and Android Automatic. Satellite navigation, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, reverse camera and blind spot monitoring don’t need to be capitalized.
While we’re talking about spelling and capitalization, make sure you Spell your car name correctly the whole way through your rating. It sounds simple, but it is often overlooked. If you’re not very good with spelling and grammar (which is fine, by the way), at least try to fit.
When it comes to structuring your review, the pattern is there for a reason. Follow it.
Even those with experience CarExpert The editorial team benefits from having a template, because it means you can forget about trying to think of cool ways to put sections together and focus instead on providing the main information. .
With that in mind, you should also make an effort to condensed. Go into as much detail as you want; We love all the confusing and confusing information you’ve learned after years of being behind the wheel – but sometimes the most effective way to get your point across is to speak as tightly as possible. .
In some cases, it is helpful to write as you are speaking. It is not necessary to use the word for its sake.
Finally, think about your image. Even if you are not a professional photographer, you can still frame your car in a way that makes it look glamorous.
Take a photo in one horizontal instead of vertical, and make sure your car is relatively centered in the frame. If it’s right at the edge or partially cropped, it’s hard for the reader to notice the details, and our automatic cropping software can cut out the details to get your photo on the web.
