Cars.com Customer Insights

1. Only thing that would make this app perfect is monitoring what is being posted, for instance certain features on cars you check mark to filter out unwanted cars, a lot of the dealerships put options on the vehicles when they really don't have those options just so they can get more views.

2. Feels like the pictures got smaller so we could instead see more blank space, which is perfect because I like to see as little relevant information at one time as possible.... Also it didn't transfer all my saved searches, and ones that did are missing parameters.

3. I realized the so called "FILTERS" Doesn't work! My wife wants a Sunroof and Leather, simple right? NOPE not on the app! VERY Frustrating!Wish I could give the new update zero stars.

4. Please fix this! It's very time consuming and tedious! Next thing is a request, but if we could report listings that would be great because I've noticed that there are about 50 or more different listings from the same seller for the same car!Great app.

5. Also, where did the listings go? Listings have dropped considerably.The newest update of the app took away one of the best features the previous versions had....the ability to save your favorite dealers....for quicker access to their inventory.

6. When I update my search filters it takes several minutes to update the results.This app did it's job! I found a car and I am happy with the purchase.

7. For instance I sometimes want to go back and narrow down my search but when you do that it does not take the first filters! I've done this with several different devices with the same results! Edit:.

8. The search is a mess and since there isn't an auto reset button on the front page of the app and need to change the parameters of the search, you have to go through each item to reset or clear.

9. Pops up to tell me it found zero cars for a search while showing me the correct results.

10. Even features such as search by keyword have been eliminated which were extremely useful when trying to pinpoint very niche vehicles.

11. I was able to find a unique used vehicle, for a great price, in great condition.
