How do I narrow down my list of cars to choose from?

Start with your must-haves, such as seats, budget, drivetrain and towing, and remove anything that doesn't meet them. Then compare the remaining options on safety ratings, reliability research, fuel economy and insurance quotes. Aim for two or three finalists to test-drive. On OffLot, you can search in plain English, apply filters like monthly payment, seats, towing and drivetrain, and compare finalists side by side.
