Have done a search but can't seem to find any other viable options, and I'm sure I can't be the only slightly geeky PHer for whom it is (or was) a valuable resource for all kinds of information such as power outputs, top speed and 0-60 times, tax & fuel costs and other facts and figures. As I'm sure like many of you my 'next car' changes weekly and part of the enjoyment in researching a new car for me is the reading up, research and browsing of Parkers and owner's forums to find out everything I can before I go looking.

However ever since it was re-done a while back I've really struggled with the site, its layout is awful, everything is counter intuitive, to find a particular model of car now requires navigating through twice as many web pages as before and, the nail in the coffin for me, is there is so much crap that I'm not interested in on every single page the loading speed is akin to having a 56k modem. I don't want to spend ten minutes of my life every time I want to see which engine in a particular car is more suited to my needs, so has anyone got any suggestions for an alternative website that carries all the same data as Parkers in a quicker, more user friendly format?
