Instead of adding separate models for hybrid versions of existing cars, we’re going to be adding a ‘fuel type’ filter soon. In the meantime, we suggest searching for Optima as the model, and entering “hybrid” in the keywords.

Add a "search by state" filter.
It's annoying to register an out of state car here in Ohio. Searching by distance includes out of state results that I don't want to see.

Simplify Body Types
Simplify your body types. 2 door. 4 door. Minivan. Station wagon. 2 door SUV. 4 door SUV. Convertible.
1 voteThese are pretty close to our existing list of body types. 2 door = coupe, 4 door = sedan. The others are the same except that we include hatchback as a separate style and don’t differentiate 2-door SUV and 4-door SUV. (I’ve actually never heard of a 2-door SUV!)

Changes?
add southeast to your area search options.
Is there a need to add a western NC to the search cities/area list for north carolina?
add Hillman to the car list
1 voteWe’re working on adding “comboboxes” instead of the existing dropdowns, which will let you type any make or model you like, as well as selecting from our lists. Until that’s done though, you can work around it by choosing “Any Make” and typing Hillman in the keywords box instead.
Regarding locations, if you’re referring to the craigslist locations that come up on SearchTempest.com, Western NC is listed as Asheville, but it’s the same site. Hope that helps!

Sort by horsepower
Sorting by horsepower.
1 voteThis is a cool idea, but unfortunately not something we’re able to easily do. A single model will have different horsepower depending on engine and trim options, and model year, not all of which we have for every listing, nor do we currently have a database of the horsepower for every possible model/year/trim.

Gonna repeat it until it's functional
Sort by multiple make\model and drivetrains please.
1 voteThese are already planned. “repeating until it’s functional” is counterproductive, because I have to spend time cleaning up the duplicates instead of working on the site.

Add thumbnail display picture
Have display pictures when listing the Craigslist result. There is no picture currently. A nice little thumbnail would be great.
1 voteSince we are not partnered with craigslist, we unfortunately do not have access to the pictures on their ads.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
-
Sort by country of manufacture
Sort by where made ex: US or Europe cause theres 2 Ford escort maker countries
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, this is not a filter that most of our sources provide, so it would be unlikely we’ll ever be able to implement this.

Refine
The "Refine Search" function should search what is asked. I looked for all Lexus with a manual transmission only which should be a smaller number since they are rare. It included ALL Lexus that did not specify it's transmission in their listings, which was a huge number of ads.

searching for manual transmission is not working at all
searching for manual transmission is not working at all
1 voteWas not able to reproduce this problem. If it’s still happening, please let us know.
Original message: Hi, could you please paste a link to your search results page, and let me know which automatic vehicles are coming up when they shouldn’t be? I just tried a couple of searches with the manual only filter set, and it did appear to be working for me, so your search would really help me track down the problem. Thanks!

Fix manual trans filtering
When filtering for manual transmission a lot of the cars that show up on my transmissions.
1 voteWasn’t able to reproduce. If you’re still having this problem, please let us know.
Original message: Thanks for the bug report! Could you send some specific examples of vehicles that are showing up when they shouldn’t, so we can track down the problem?

simplify
stop doing gay things like making the "x/close button" rotate when hovered over.
Every one of these dumb ideas adds to the annoyance of a web site.

how about my keyword actually locates what I'm looking for, i put "cap" in the keyword field and none. Do your one and only job!
Make the keyword actually work!

Motorcycle search
If we could search by brand/model for motorcycles that would be great. I'd love to search based on common names instead of the exact model number. (ex. Honda Magna instead of Honda VF700c)
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! We’re planning to keep AutoTempest focused on cars, but we will be adding more motorcycle search features to searchtempest.com soon. The first thing we have planned is to add results from Cycletrader.com.

Chevy Lumina Z34
Add them to your drop down box. there are lumina cars , Vans and coupes. << Z34
1 voteI would recommend choosing Lumina as the model, then entering Z34 in the keywords field. Not all sellers will include the full name in the model field, so this should be the most reliable way to find them.

Year groupings
I should be able to check off particular years I am interested in, rather than a chronological group. For example, I should be able to do a search on Porsche 911, 1987-1989 and 1995-1998, all in one search. Or Honda Civic, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2017. Sometimes particular model years have likes or dislikes, and you would want to reduce your results accordingly. Maybe an option where you can check boxes for the exact years you are interested in???
1 voteProbably not something we’re going to do, as it’s a relatively uncommon desire, which can be done by saving separate searches. I can understand how it would be nice if that’s what you’re specifically looking to do, but at this time we don’t feel the added complexity of the interface would be a reasonable tradeoff.

Cars.com: All private sellers are missing
The following cars are not listed not AutoTempest:
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/6969bdef-7ddc-4a5c-b064-d8ebc1f976ad/
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/e8093505-14ba-4fac-92f8-f6037660f324/
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/f0c6e31a-2126-4d3b-9428-56a0b00630e8/All listings have one in common, they are not from dealers but private sellers. Not sure if that is the cause, but I guess it is the cause. This is very confusing because a user of your page thinks the listings from Cars.com is complete and one does not need an additional manual search on Cars.com. Therefore, at least in my case, a lot of cars went missing.
Actually this was reported before in the year 2015 already: https://autotempest.uservoice.com/forums/94575/suggestions/7088484
However, I do not see how it was completed. Or…
1 voteHello,
Thanks for sending this! We do not have permission to list private party listings from cars.com at this time. Hopefully that changes in the future!
Cheers,

Please add the Audi Allroad
The Audi Allroad was a bit different of a model then the Audi A4 Allroad and made years before. It was based on the Audi A6 Avant but had Adjustable Air Suspension, tougher plastic that wouldnt get scratched as easily as paint, different styling...
.... and are cheaper because of more complicated service and additional issues, but very desirable because of tuning options and large amount of wrenchers that pick em up for cheap so a lot of info on repair.
1 voteYou can actually search any model by choosing “Other” from the model dropdown.
