I am sure that for 98% of the people that us AT it will make bugger all difference though...

I've noticed that they don't show insurance group anymore, on the desktop site. Real pain in the arse

[Ed.]

The normal desktop site has also stopped showing the dimensions section unless the seller's site is run by autotrader.
All sections are still shown on Android and ios it would seem.

That's a saving grace you lets hope its a clitch

Although on the android version it's still not really optimized for tablets

It works ok on my Nexus7 using the app, what bits are you missing?

It's seems to ruin the photos they look jagged and pixelated & less detailed unlike the iOS version on my nexus 7

All the statistics are present

My major gripe with them is how they calculate the mileage/distance. its as the "crow" flies. Great say going from Devon to SW Wales huh!

[GreatGranny]

They also only show the unbraked towing weight, not much use when you are looking for a car to tow a braked weight of 1400kg.

I don't understand why they won't let you filter out cars with idiotically low mileages.

Also, I wish they'd let you tick a box next to each car which will instantly remove all cars of the same make and model from your search results.

I don't know what I'm looking for but I know it isn't a renault laguna - click - and they're all gone.

Agreed, I also won't consider anything if it's mis-advertised.

^ Absolutely, plus there neeeds to be a REPORT button or similar as it is a pisstake when people list £999 then "real price £7999" as the first line of the advert.

OR the new cars that are silly cheap as it is the "deposit"

There is, isn't there:



On another note I used adblock to get rid of the irrelevant ad at the top and bottom of the page (so you only get the results you searched for, not the really expensive ads), the finance crud to the right, and the crud at the bottom - browsing for old mercs is so much better!

^ Many thanks, well spotted.

Oh an Merc 300, nice choice. My uncle had one for a few years, fantastic cruiser and a notable step up from my gran's 190 of similar vintage. They are very much a quality car for pocket money these days.
