Adam Binnie
Affiliate Operations Editor
One-time New Cars Editor for Parkers and Car Magazine, Adam now heads up the content commerce team, which tests and reviews products for brands across Bauer Media's digital portfolio.
He joined Parkers in 2015, having started working life as a newspaper reporter (who wrote about cars for the features team while his editor wasn't looking) and blogging about car news and journalism.
Since then he’s contributed road tests and reviews to both Parkers and CAR magazine, as well as other titles in the Bauer family, The Telegraph, and on-screen via our YouTube channel.
He's particularly interested in cars that make family life easier, offer plenty of bike transportation space, and manage to be entertaining to drive too.
In fact Adam has been banned from mentioning mountain bikes in the Parkers office – luckily you can find out more about this by reading literally any of his long termer reports, where you’ll have no trouble finding at least two mounted to the towbar.
Some and Adam's top tips for Parkers readers are:
- Take anything you use regularly with you on your test drive - child seats, pushchairs, etc - and make sure they fit
- Test the back seats from the perspective of your passengers - are there enough USB sockets and places to store books or gadgets?
- Get someone else to drive while you sit in the rear - the ride in some cars can vary hugely front to back
