How it works
Say what you need
Budget, seats, fuel, or a model you already like. A catalog search needs no account.
BudgetSeatsFuel
Read the shortlist
The same catalog ranks the cars, shows why each one fits, and a yearly fuel and servicing total. Pro opens known faults and the line-by-line costs.
RankWhyCost
Check the listing you found
Paste the link or the listing text. BriefCar matches it to a catalog version and gives a verdict from price, mileage, and open recalls. Pro adds the pre-purchase checklist.

Compare, save, share
Put two or three cars in the same table. Save the shortlist, the listing, or the comparison, and share it with friends. Euro NCAP names a winner only when the test year matches.

Catalog, not a chatbot
Why not just ask a chatbot?
A general chatbot answers from what it knows or finds. BriefCar is built around one vehicle catalog and the listing you provide.
| Metric | A general chatbot | BriefCar |
|---|---|---|
| Figures | From training data or a web search, source varies | Read from BriefCar’s vehicle catalog, the same figures every time |
| Listings | Can read the page, does not pin it to a catalog version | Fetches the page and matches it to a catalog trim and price |
| Compare | Usually a written answer | A side-by-side table. Euro NCAP names a winner only when test years match |
| Your shortlist | A chat history to scroll back through | Saved with the comparison |
