BRENTWOOD, England – The C-MAX and Mondeo are hits with "Honest John" website fans, who voted them the best large family car and best people carrier respectively.

The first "Honest John" awards were decided by Honestjohn.co.uk users, based on cars prompting the most searches and inquiries on the site in the past 12 months.

Website founder "Honest John" said:  "'Both the Mondeo and C-MAX topped their categories in the Honest John Awards with good reason, they're good to drive, well equipped, innovative and represent great value for money. As a result they're two cars that really capture the imagination of our readers."

Honestjohn.co.uk was set up in 2000 to help consumers with advice on buying, selling and running cars.  Since then "Honest John" himself has answered more than 600,000 questions, with the site receiving around 1.4 million visits per month.

The data to measure consumer interest is taken from Google Analytics which calculates the number of page views each car review has had over the previous 12 months from April 2010 to April 2011.
