    Steve Edwards
    A certified car nerd who has been creating car content since 2015, Steve is much happier talking about used cars under £15,000 than the latest hypercar. He’s been advising friends and family on their next used car purchase for as long as he can remember – handy experience for his current role in charge of content at MOTORS. As a father of two young kids who covers a lot of miles, he tends to value safety, practicality and comfort above all else, so he has a soft spot for massive SUVs and premium estate cars.
