Might be quite petty but worth a mention anyway, but I like browsing classifieds and it is bloody annoying.
It seems ridiculous having a drop-down model chooser if you are going to fill it with every car model ever made, regardless of the fact that you will never see any on the site. Defeats the very purpose of a drop down menu.
It is far quicker to type "lexus" than scroll down 1000000 car manufacturers to find lexus.
Perhaps it's just one of those things that annoy me beyond reason, it just seems a bit silly

It's been noted before I think.

Not rocket science to run a dump of the most listed cars and put the top 20 brands at the top, a seperater, then the rest.....

One of many things that make using the classifieds very tedious. I have a (normal) 12" or so screen on my laptop and it's really annoying using the classifieds - so much so that the autotrader site actually works better for me now.
