Does anyone know which is the larger, more popular of these two sites?
Autotrader vs. Cars.com

I think Autotrader has more listings. I don't know if that means it 'larger' or not. I also believe that Cars.com is primarily dealer listings, whereas Autotrader has both.
I have had better luck with Cars.com... found my last 3 on there including my nsx.
AutoTrader has more listings, but also more junk listings. I found my NSX on Cars.com from a private seller.
A/T, but why not look on both?
I don't know who is bigger. But, I sold 4 cars this past year and listed them on both AutoTrader and Car.com. The ultimate buyers were two from AutoTrader and two from Cars.com. I also had about an equal amount of inquiries from both.... maybe a little more fro AutoTrader.
So, I'd say, based on my experience, that looking or advertising in both is beneificial.

I assume you are asking because you want to sell your car (and only want to pay for one ad.)
I'm not sure if one is better than the other. I would guess most people look in both. I've bought cars from both sites.
I shopped both sites when looking for my NSX. Found high quality cars on both sites but cars.com had more expensive cars. Dealers and individuals on both. Crappy listings (e.g. one picture) 0n both. Cars.com LOOKS nicer and the search results were more useful.
But I found my car on Autotrader.
If I were looking again I'd look in both places.
