Sully Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 What website(s) do you use to gather vehicle specs for older vehicles (early 2000's)? I'm trying to find a site that will tell me average mpg, whether it's fwd/rwd/awd, power, braking, handling, all that fun stuff. It seems I'm only getting bits and pieces from each site I look at. I know there has to be a great site for this, and I'm sure I've used it before, but I'm having a major brain-fart today and can't think.

ForeverMaker Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Edmunds or Wikipedia are 2 options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Edmonds is normally good, but the older the vehicle, the less likey that you will find the info you are looking for. Wikipedia normally is good too, but also can sometimes be very general. Another throught would be if you can find the make/model specific forum.

GRN96WS6 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I use http://www.consumerguide.com pretty regularly and it is a nice website for specs, year to year model changes, MPG, weight etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds for rated numbers. http://www.fueleconomy.gov can be good for real world MPG. ...braking, handling, all that fun stuff. Really the only 2 places that I know of that have test where they are concerned about repeatability, therefore you can actually compare numbers from car a to car b are Car & Driver and Consumer Reports. So you can dig around on C&D's website, or use Google to dig around on their website. Or the easiest way is to just subscribe to CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Kelly Blue Book - www.kbb.com They have a "specifications" tab when you look up a car with most of the stuff you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
