About

CarRating.eu brings back an old, legendary idea: one place where anyone can show their car to fellow enthusiasts.

The site has been revived by its creator in collaboration with artificial intelligence. It takes its inspiration from the original carrating.org, where cars were viewed, rated and talked about, and where some of them became true legends.

Today Instagram and other social media are full of accounts dedicated to cars and builds, but whether anyone ever finds yours depends on an algorithm. Here, what you see is decided by your own interest: makes, categories, ratings and new arrivals are all in one place and open to everyone.

Perhaps it is time to bring back a single place where everyone can show their vehicle, keep a diary of the build and rate the work of others.

What you can do here

  • Show your car: add photos, choose the main photo and the order. Visitors browse them in a gallery.
  • Hide the number plate: next to each photo there is a "Hide part" button. Draw a box over the plate (or anything else) and it is pixelated for good. Photos are also stripped of hidden data such as the phone's GPS location.
  • Keep a build diary: record every job with a date, a description and, if you like, the cost. The site adds up the total.
  • Get a fair score: other members rate looks, engineering and build quality from 1 to 10. When you add new photos or a diary entry, they can rate again.
  • Build your garage: add the cars you used to own as well ("I used to own this car"), so your profile shows your whole history.
  • Talk: comment on other people's cars and find cars by make, category or the top lists.
  • Carrating.org Legends: a separate page for the cars that were famous back on the old site.

With respect to the makers of carrating.org

CarRating.eu was born out of love for the original carrating.org. In the 2000s it was, for many Estonian car enthusiasts, the first place to show their car, rate other people's machines and argue in the comments late into the night. Without that site and the people behind it, this site would not exist either.

When we registered the carrating.eu domain in 2025, we tried to contact the founder of the 2000s-era carrating.org through Facebook, but unfortunately we did not receive a reply. We still want to say that we greatly respect the work of the founder and everyone else who made the original site. CarRating.eu is not the official continuation of carrating.org, but a tribute to it. Today carrating.org is run by an entirely different company that has nothing to do with this site.

If you are one of the Estonian makers of carrating.org and are reading this, we would be very happy to hear from you. Write to us at kontakt@carrating.eu, whether it is a memory, an idea or a wish to be involved with the site in some way.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome

The site grows together with its members. If you have an idea for something new or have noticed a bug, write to kontakt@carrating.eu. Every piece of feedback helps make the site better.
