    There is no section in the new version for the NCT.

    Unless someone mentions it in the comments.

    Ok so the old system is still there but could anyone really think they have improved on the existing setup with this crap.

    One thing to bear in mind is that for the most part, the people on this forum are probably a little more computer literate, and may know a bit more about cars than lots of other users. For all we know their pick-a-car-wizard might be very useful to the average punter.

    I don't see what the fuss is anyway, I always used the advanced search as the basic one was far too... well, basic.

    I actually think it's pretty slick, much nicer interface and like how responsive it is. Had moved away to another car site recently but will probably try them also next time I have a car to sell

    The old site was much better, easier and quicker to use trying to find a car now is nowhere near as easy and the year select option is stupid. I think we need Justin Lee Collins to Bring back the original Carzone!

    This has to be the worst 'improvement' ever. The hompage won't let you do an advanced search.
    If you liked carzone the way it was before the takeover, use www.motornet.ie , same cars as carzone but with bigger thumbnails and proper search.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    Biggest PITA as far as I'm concerned is the reduced categories when you browse by make. Rather than pick, say, BMW - 320 - 2004 and look through the 20 or so '04 320i/Ci that you may be interested in, now it's BMW - 3 Series - 2004 and wade through 245 316s, 318s, 320s, 325s, 330s. I know you can sort by engine once you have the 245 displayed but it still seems a backward step from the old site.

    The new pricing structure seems to have reduced the number of cars listed by a huge amount too. Also less of the entertainment you used to get when people's cars were sold so they updated their ads with funny/strange photos.

    I'm pissed off beyond words!!!!!!!

    I've sold loadsa cars off Carzone.ie when it was €30 at €40 they are taking the piss, they've lost a customer for sure.

    Horrible user interface and layout, NOT FAST!


    Its the end of the relationship for me.

    people power.... if it worked with the budget it can work for Carzone:pac:.

    If we could get more cars onto CBG.ie or something then maybe it wouldnt be too bad. they have the best format but no cars what so ever. now i dont know what the internet in work is for...

    Only the button that brings up all 68000 cars will respond for me - was using the advanced search utility yesterday and was marvelling at how powerful it was in cutting out the crap and focusing down on exactly what I was looking for, not knowing it was going chucked out the next day...

    wow, I'm surprised how angered I am by this - I've even sent them an email.

    As have I. Horrible format.

    We shall see :)

    The new layout that's been there the last while is fantastic though.

    CBG is appalling - the layout is not better. 5K increments for car prices? There is a big difference between a car for 10 and one for 15. That alone would turn me off ever using it.

    If you google carzone.ie and just under where it says www.carzone.ie in green, it says used cars, if you click that, the old used car search engine comes up, hope this helps a bit!

    Here's a linkage!

    http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/
