Hello everyone,

I have always loved cars and I really enjoy organizing by building databases of information. I currently own a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and an AWD Chrysler 300C. I have previously owned a Nissan 350Z, an Acura Integra, and a Honda Prelude.

Because of my obsession with cars, and because I enjoy building databases, I have created a new website called whichride4you.com. It is unlike any other new car research website on the internet. You can filter by make, model, model year, engine type, drive type, transmission, induction, cylinders, doors, passengers, convertible, minivan, rear type, cab type, box type, price, horsepower, torque, pounds per horsepower, length, height, and curb weight! And you can sort by any criteria on the search results! Check it out and share with your friends and family.

Do you want to know which vehicles you can get with a manual transmission, over 400 horsepower, are RWD, naturally aspirated, with a base price starting under $65,000? There are at least 10 options! Narrow down your search using engine type, trunk type, number of doors, number of passengers, etc.

Do you want to know which vehicles you can get with a tiptronic or DCT transmission, over 400 horsepower, AWD/4WD and supercharged or turbo starting under $65,000 MSRP? There are at least 4 options!

Use the search criteria to narrow down your results. Finding this information on your own would take hours, if not days, of research. With this tool, it will take you a few seconds. Have fun!

Moderators, if this is not okay to post, please let me know. This really is just in hopes of giving your readers another option for researching new cars. There are no ads on the site and it is completely free to use.

Seems like a pretty useful tool to me.
What do you use to keep the database up to date? Did you create the whole thing by yourself?

It pretty much takes a lot of work to keep up to date. I have subscribed to every newsletter from the manufacturer's that I can, but some won't let me. I also have to visit the manufacturer's websites regularly. For example, Jeep removed the Diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee without notification. The other thing is just check stuff like caranddriver.com.

And yes, I created the whole thing myself.
