Lemon-aid New and Used Cars and Trucks 2005-2017

“Dr. Phil,” Canada’s best-known automotive expert, invites another driver to come aboard.

After forty-six years and almost two million copies sold, Phil Edmonston is joined by a co-pilot for the annual Lemon-Aid Guide — George Iny, along with the Editors of Automobile Protection Association, the organization Phil founded in 1969.

The 2017 Lemon-Aid has everything: an encyclopedic lineup of the best and worst cars, trucks, and SUVs sold since 2005; a collection of the worst auto buys on the market; manufacturer’s secret warranties and instructions on the “art of complaining” to help you get your money back; and new-car buying tips that save you tons of money by revealing the dealer cost of those expensive add-ons they sell in the business office. The APA’s unique investigations of new car dealers in the Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal markets identify specific dealer and manufacturer tricks by brand and region of the country. Lemon-Aid is an essential guide for first-time buyers and long-time gear-heads.

Phil Edmonston, Canada’s toughest customer, is a former MP and a long-time consumer advocate. For over forty-five years, he has written more than 150 consumer guides in the bestselling Lemon-Aid series. About three decades ago Nissan and Honda sued Phil for five million dollars — and lost.

George Iny, Canada’s smartest car customer, is the director of the Automobile Protection Association, founded by Phil Edmonston in 1969. George and the APA’s secret shoppers have worked with CTV W5 to expose deceptive practices in auto sales and repairs for two decades.
