An independent platform for transparent, data-driven car reviews and scores.
I started Carivo because I got tired of car-buying websites that either buried you in spec sheets or gave you vague "editor's picks" with no explanation of how they got there. I wanted something straightforward â a real number, out of 10, that told me how a car actually performed across the things that matter when you own one for five years: reliability, safety, value, how it drives, and whether the tech holds up.
My name is Juan Pablo Afanador, and I built Carivo from scratch. No corporate backing, no manufacturer sponsorships, no dealer partnerships. Just me, a database of vehicle data, and a scoring system I designed to be as transparent as possible. Every score on this site comes from the same public sources anyone can check â NHTSA, the EPA, JD Power, and manufacturer-published specs.
I keep the scores updated because outdated information is almost as bad as no information. When a car gets a major refresh or new safety data comes out, I revisit the score. Each car page shows you the exact date the data was last updated so you always know what you're looking at.
If you spot an error or think a score is off, I genuinely want to know. You can reach me directly at juanafanador130@gmail.com or by WhatsApp at +57 310 688 0938. I read everything.
