New classifieds site, now in Beta

[ali4390]

Looking a lot better than the previous attempt. In fact, the only problem I have come across so far is that when searching for cars with 0-60 of 5-6 seconds I get a lot of Hyundai Tuscons showing up, and I've got a feeling they aren't that quick off the line...

Does the new version still ask for money to advertise your car? (jeez I miss them days).

Looks good.

Thanks for the positive and constructive comments all being taken on board. The dev team have stopped lying in dark rooms screaming and I think I saw a smile a moment ago.

The best game to play on the new site is 6 degrees of separation via the "Pistonheads also found" feature at the bottom of the advert details. See what you could of won and how far you can get from the original ad with it. And yes I have been staring at new classifieds for far too long now ....

Looks good. The filters would benefit from more flexibility, e.g. I want to be able to select more than one option for number of cylinders. Or maybe specify "at least X cylinders".

Fuel economy seems not quite right, instead of having 20-30, 30-40, etc, I think "Over 20 mpg", "Over 30 mpg", etc would be more use - if you want at least 20 mpg you don't want to exclude 35 mpg. Better still, just have a text box where you can type in a minimum?

More categories would be good. Weight and power-to-weight would be my first choices.

Good feedback, thanks. We'll continue to work on those filter boxes - some (such as colour and the ability to select all/some/all) are evolved significantly, others less so. We'll get there with them though.

What's interesting is they're coming back with a 5.4 second 0-62 time from the DVLA...

Well done guys. Looks like a really good job on the iPad.

Afternoon chaps,

Just deployed a new build to http://beta.pistonheads.com including the much requested makes and model page for example http://beta.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

enjoy

Good stuff, I like it

New classifieds site: NOT DUNG

It's the first one I've seen with the very valuable attribute of being able to select RWD or 4WD etc. I would say that the differentiation between permanent 4x4 and part-time 4x4 possibly hinders more than it helps.

Indeed, we have a link just like that at the bottom of today's SOTW

[Steffan]

This is undoubtedly a much easier site to use and very much better than the old one. Well done PH.

[anonymous-user]

This has better options that autotrader has, I particularly like the cylinder selection as I'm currently after 6 cyclinders, RWD and manual gearbox. Very nice indeed.

If it aint broke..........

The existing format does everything I need. I am not sure the Top Trumps 'essential facts' list at the bottom adds much really.

If searching for bikes can you search for criteria such as CC and Age without specifying manufacturer

I hadn't tried that before, now you mention it, I've tried this (after some booze) http://beta.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=m... does it help? Or should I

[SixPotBelly]

Real improvement in functionality. Looks great. Works well with Firefox. I can't break it.
