Basingstoke sits at the heart of Hampshire – a busy town surrounded by green countryside and close to major routes like the M3. For drivers and families here, everyday journeys tend to mix town-centre traffic with rural escapes and regular commutes. Drivers in Basingstoke basically get the best of both worlds with smooth town roads and quick escapes into the Hampshire countryside. It's handy location between Winchester and Reading means you’ll find both city drivers and rural day-trippers. While there’s no Clean Air Zone here as of now, air quality and fuel efficiency are wise to consider due to changing priorities nationwide. Winters can get a bit damp, so grip and control matter, especially if you head onto rural B-roads or north into more exposed countryside. A lot of the locals love hatchbacks and estates, not just because of their eminent practicality but also because they make daily commuting that bit less stressful. Hybrid and electric models are also gaining ground in the area, helped by the burgeoning network of charging points. Whatever your routine, it’s worth checking a used car’s emissions rating and service history to get ahead of any surprises further down the line.
