Car Finder Filter suggestion: Style or Type
Split Style or Type category into 2 categories (maybe Body Type and Style) and make the selection as ANY checked options so that a search could be run, for example, for luxury SUV, crossover and wagons.
6th rankedThanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into that.

Make it easier to see all long-term review articles for a particular car
Love the long-term reviews, I'm following the Kia Stinger you have. But when I go to one of the articles (currently on the intro page) I can't find any links to the other articles. Why make this so hard?

Thanks for writing in. If you click on the black box at the top of the article that says Long Term or at the bottom of the article were all the tags are, it says Long Term Garage. Either one will take you to https://www.autoblog.com/long-term-garage/
You can follow all of the updates and more there.
I hope this helps.

Load articles first then advertising
I love this site, the articles and write ups. What I don't like is how long it takes for some articles to appear. I have to wait for ads to load or a ******* video I could care less about. At that point I just leave. Please load the Autoblog content first then the paid advertising.

Thanks for your feedback. We are actually working on a project that will significantly reduce the impact of advertising on the overall user experience. We have not set a launch date yet, but this is a high priority for us.

Block sites that are illegally content-scraping your articles
Work to block websites such as newsitn.com that are actively content-scraping your articles for illegal commercial gain. For instance:
https://www.autoblog.com/2019/02/13/ford-f-150-pickups-transmission-recall/
http://newsitn.com/itv/ford-recalls-1-48-million-2011-2013-f-150-pickups-for-transmission-flaw/
21st rankedThanks for the suggestion. We will certainly look into it.

Gallery does resize properly in iOS
Images in the gallery are distorted and the aspect ratio incorrect on all iOS devices. Super buggy and unusable.

The autoscrolling main stories need a pause button.
The main stores autoscroll so fast, and have no pause button, I feel like I am wrestling with the scroll arrows just to try and ready the one line headline in time before it disappears. This actually causes me stress every time I visit the site and therefore makes for an unpleasant experience. I visit no other website that has a fast, autoscrolling lead story slideshow like that. Please provide a pause button, or stop it from autoscrolling.
21st rankedThanks for your feedback. We’ll discuss internally and see if we can accomodate.

Safari not always loading site
On iOS using Safari, I’m finding that when I am connected to wifi, autoblog isn’t always loading. It tries for a few seconds and then gives up saying it can’t be loaded. If I disconnect from wifi, then it will load over LTE without issue. I have tried it in several places (home, work, friend’s house, etc) and just upgraded to a new iPhone and still have the same issue. It isn’t every time, but probably 40-50% of the time. Over LTE I haven’t experienced this issue.
21st rankedThanks for your feedback. We’ll try to replicate your issue.

Let people copy and paste -
So, I typed "best cars under $10000" or something like that into google, and got many results, of which I decided the first 30 would give me a pretty good idea of what used cars under $10,000 to consider, and then I build a good top ten list. Anyway, your website was on the list. With other websites, I was able to highlight something on a webpage and copy it into a notepad or Word document. But with your website, it doesn't let you left click any where. Left click lets you swipe. So, you didn't make my top 10…
21st rankedI see what you mean. The reason is that our list is a slideshow and the text is part of the slide’s control area. I have a trick for you. Below the slide is a group of social share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, ect.) Right below that is a button that says “List”. If you click that, the layout will change from a slideshow to a post. You should then be able to highlight, copy and paste. I’ll ask our engineers to look into adjusting the slideshow view for the future.
