Years ago I seem to recall some sort of online database where you could put in your desired aspects of a car, and it would spit out those that matched.
The reason I mention it is that my sister, who knows nothing about cars, wants me to help her to find a new vehicle (car, SUV, whatever).
Her criteria are, she thinks, simple - it must be manual, petrol, and crucially to her for reasons I won't bother with, "must have a wading depth at least the same or higher than her 2015 Ford Ecosport, ideally be not be much bigger, must be a bit more powerful, and not be as much as twice the price but can be a bit more expensive than a new Ecosport would be. Can't just have a new Ecosport, not really powerful enough. Struggles on the hills."
I'm faced with identifying all the possibly suitable vehicles in the UK, then trying to find their "wading depth" in each case, which I've already found isn't always on the manufacturer's websites. Then the dimensions. Then the hp/torque. Whether they are available in a petrol with a manual box. what the price might be for that. Etc etc.
I don't MIND doing this, it's quite fun and interesting, but she'll be ready for the car after this one at this rate.
It would be easier if I could chuck this info into a database somewhere with filters. Anybody know of anything?
