it's a good place to start
I've found some good leads on cars there over the years. IT used to be more helpful and let you search by *more* criteria. For some reason it doesn't allow you to search by keyword anymore for any specific criteria they don't let you check off. Traction control doesn't seem to be an option so now if I really want that I have to view each listing that matches my other criteria and hope that the seller put it in the description. (not always the case). A full day of that gives me a headache.

We are glad that you found CarSoup.com to be a good starting point for your vehicle search! We also see that you experienced some frustrations with changes in our search capabilities. Traction control does not appear anymore for a few reasons - 1.) It has been standard on cars since 2012 and even in 2010 was on 88% of vehicles. 2.) Manufacturers have given a more diverse set of names to this feature and it is difficult to index for search (ESC, TCS, ASR, Stabiltrack, Stability Control, TRC, Control etc.). In reference to the text search feature - We removed the text search for a feature because it was not adopted by users. 90+% of users preferred to use drop down menus and recursive filter. There are still feature filters on the right rail of our search page, but we apologize that we did not have all the features that you would have liked to use available.
