CarZen For iPad Makes Researching New Cars Surprisingly Fast And Easy
March 16, 2011
Whether you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for or just have a price range in mind, the recently launched CarZen for iPad will help make your new car shopping experience much faster and easier.
CarZen allows you to search for new cars based on body style, brand, and base price. All of the results are displayed with the manufacturer name, the name of the car, base price, and a clear front view of the car, which you can also swipe across to get a side and back view. Results can also be sorted by name, price, and miles per gallon, allowing you to completely avoid jumping in and out of pages to find exactly what it is you are looking for.
Once you have found a car you like, tapping on it will bring up a whole bunch of useful information. The app includes a complete overview of every 2011 car, with quick access to warranty information, crash ratings, horsepower, and more. You can also view detailed specs if you are into that sort of thing, or just read reviews from popular and trustworthy sources like AutoBlog, Car and Driver, and Cars.com. Each car has a huge library of high resolution images as well, allowing you to see your future ride from every angle before stepping foot on a lot.
If that's still not enough for you, you can actually build your own car and have it priced out before even talking to a dealer; and speaking of dealers, CarZen allows you to easily get a quote from the one nearest you.
CarZen is a surprisingly full-featured app for being free, making it a fantastic tool for anyone in the market for a new car or even for you car nuts out there who just want to stay informed. It does contain some pop-up ads, but that's the price you pay for, well, not having a price to pay.
