What attracts you to a CAR? *POLL*

[Analog]

What is your #1 attraction?

 

[MDE]

All of the above.

 

[eplebnista]

Low Price

Ditto. There is no real #1...

Any one of those things is pointless if it doesen't meet the other expectations.

 

[Squisher]

Exterior styling.

Does this mark me as shallow?



BTW-this might be why domestic auto-makers haven't been as concerned with interiors as foreign car-makers. I am the american demographic.

if I were to spend money on a car then its value of money
if its something I can dream of then its power that looks good

 

[cronos]

since i'm piss poor right now, if it's not cheap i won't be attractred to it. heheh.

 

[Ornery]

COMFORT!

I hate commuting, travel and running errands, so any way to make it less miserable is a big plus.

 

[Bassyhead]

several of the above are important

Notice how the Mercedes SL55 fits all those criteria? Its stylish, gets ok gas mileage for a sports car, lots of techinical features, great power and performance, its a convertible and hardtop combined in one, very safe and comfortable, and as supercars go, its actually quite affordable....and it is fairly unique. It truly it the perfect everyday car.

 

[Muadib]

If I can only choose one, then it would be looks.

 

[dman]

Not this.


And I warn you not to click it.

Power, first and foremost
Price
Exclusiveness

in that order

 

[Pliablemoose]

Marketing/brainwashing by the automotive industry. I'm not real unless I have the hottest, newest car & years worth of debit

It helps expalin my vehicles too:

02' TDI Golf
03' V6 MT F150
95' G20 Chevrolet with a 6.5l diesel V8

 

[Extrarius]

Initial and continual low price, or in other words, #1 is Low Price and #1.5 is Gas Mileage (money over time is generally easier to pay, so mileage ranks after initial cost)

 

[andylawcc]

Engine Performance (power and gas mileage)

Exterior Looks comes a close second..

 

[Twista]

Style / Visual/sound

man i love v8 mustangs

fvck v6 stangs

 

[SWScorch]

right now, gas mileage. I bought my car because it gets 29/40 mpg, and being a poor broke college kid that I am, that sounded real good. Also of mention are: looks, cost, and uniqueness. As much as I love fast cars, pwer means nothing to me right now. I wouldn't trust myself to drive anything with more than 150hp

 

[acemcmac]

RWD is a must.... then, more power than I need and I have to like how it handles...

 

[DWW]

I'd say comfort first and foremost.

Being a full size man (6'5 and larger frame) I can't fit in anything small. The other day I went to a dealership and I couldn't even fit in a Mustang so that idea went out the window. I went and sat in the James Bond edition Thunderbird though (salmon colour with white leather) and it was the most comfortable car I've ever been in. More leg room than /any/ other coupe I've ever seen and the seats are great.

Drivetrain, then looks.
