Autotrader stupid change
Discussion
Anyone else annoyed by the recent change to autotrader which only allows you to select cars with 'at least 30000 miles', rather than less than.
What a stupid change, i want to narrow it down by less mileage i dont want 'at least' so many miles on the clock, who the hell thought of this?

User error. You've got a filter elsewhere which means there are only cars over 30k available.What a stupid change, i want to narrow it down by less mileage i dont want 'at least' so many miles on the clock, who the hell thought of this?

I never like the format or search function on AT it always seems to include all sorts of model variants that you're not interested in despite trying to narrow down and specify your search requirements.
Am I doing something wrong at the moment?... When I search for Impreza wrx sti it's showing only one for sale?!!
Edit - Ignore that, I've just tried it now and it's showing 134 cars, looks like the new changes have improved the search function for me at least, it was definitely only coming up with one example for sale the last time I looked!

Can they also change the 0-60 sort function???
It’s daft, you can sort by
0-5 seconds - quick
0-8 seconds - quite quick
8-12 seconds - virtually all other cars
12s+ - cars no one wants
It’s the 8-12 seconds band that is particularly daft, it includes cars that can pretty well keep up with traffic in the low to mid eights, including the Luke warm cheap hatches, in with the truly tragically slow!

Got to say I'm not a huge fan of the redesign. It sounds silly, but I am so used to the search fields being on the left hand side, that it's strange to see it on the right now.
I also agree that the terminology that've used for the mileage is a bit misleading. There wasn't anything wrong with saying 'Up to x miles'.

Agree with that - and have you noticed that in the performance stats hardly any cars seem to have 0-60 figures anymore!It’s daft, you can sort by

The results returned are wrong as well. If you do a search for cars with 0-60 mph of under 5s, you get loads that obviously can't (Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX, BMW X5 3.0d or a Suzuki Jiminy 1.3 for example ??)
In the BMW's case it's the actual data that's wrong in every listing, spec says 0-60 in 4.7s, with 235 bhp .... I think not. It's 7.4s I reckon and been transposed from the data provider wrongly.
