Here's how the first CarExpert Open Day went

On Saturday, October 14, CarExpert hosted its first Open Day. We opened our doors to the general public to see some of the latest cars available in Australia and invited you to meet our team.

Despite a combination of both a referendum and Melbourne’s unpredictable weather we still managed to have around 300 people attend.

Paul Maric, Anthony Crawford, Jade Credentino, Jack Quick, William Stopford and James Wong were all there to chat to readers and new car buyers.

We had many enjoyable conversations, and it was also great meeting so many commenters and listeners of our podcast.

The cars that featured on the day included the:

• BMW iX1
• BYD Dolphin
• Chevrolet Silverado
• Hyundai Ioniq 6
• Ineos Grenadier
• Mazda CX-90
• MG 4
• Nissan Patrol Warrior
• Porsche Cayenne
• Renault Megane E-Tech Electric

There was free coffee for all thanks to our major sponsor Maxi Cosi.

A special thank you to our major prize sponsors Evie Networks, Mazda Australia and Coffee on Cue.

We are looking forward to planning our next Open Day, and we’re looking at other cities that we can bring this experience to.
