I thought for one moment pistonheads had listened to customers but apparently not !
Why why why ?
Only thing that needed a tweak was the manual / auto box so you didnt have to trawl through acres of 996 TT tiptronics looking for a proper one !
Second your "why" comment. Anyway the manual/auto wouldn't work as they have Murceilargo SVs listed as manual!! I wish!!Why why why ?

... wrong marque...The 'browse' feature is unchanged. The old classifieds system was useless and would never have let PH compete with Autotrader.
PH took on some feedback I'd been trying to shove down AT's throat for years. The market sorely needs a credible competitor (people only use Autotrader because there is no alternative) and Haymarket are having a bloody good stab at it.

you can still browse it in the same way as before if you want to...
just scroll down a bit and the same headings are still there.
it's not the design or functionality, it;s the fact that the server can;t handle the traffic and there are still bugs to iron out.... just selected gallardo's wth no other filters and no cars shown!you can still browse it in the same way as before if you want to...

Have you tried just clicking on G's like you used to? does that give you 0 results?

I agree it's still a bit clunky but i can see 93 for sale whether i just scroll down or go in through the filter system...

i can see 92 that way, but now click sort by price..... nada.... tedious....Have you tried just clicking on G's like you used to? does that give you 0 results?
its just taken me 10 mins to search for merc sls which has returned 5 aston martins in its results (including a duckling). my search for ferraris returned the same merc/aston results despite clearing off the merc and chosing ferrari make and model. most of the time i just got hourglass symbols.
it just doesnt work - again

From my point of view and I think many others the whole point of the pistonheads classifieds was the fact that that is where you go for lets say up market cars / toys like Ferrari and Porsche etc, I wouldnt really use pistonheads as first stop to replace our ageing A class family car, equally Auto trader wouldnt be my first stop for a Ferrari, that said as an enthusiast I would look at both and even ebay but thats just me.PH took on some feedback I'd been trying to shove down AT's throat for years.

As I said in my opener I sourced my 993, and 355 from here but at one stage looking for a 996tt it would have been helpfull to eliminate the autos.
I find the previous visual format of pistonheads great and the ability to see all 50 cars was at times useful, I hate the autotrader visual set up, but agree currently looking for an auto mini cooper in red its very good at narrowing it down with the filters.
All that was need on pistonheads was to update the filter section i.e actually make it work and leave all else alone !
