I guess the top 5 things would be the stuff to do with the roof like the paint on it and maybe the antenna since it would stick up higher than anything else. Then there's the luggage rack, the moonroof, very important to me, and the gutters that carry rain water.
 
Ross: Maxima.. fine 🙂

VW.... hmmm not for the money they want.


**EDIT FOR ROSS** I had EB PM the mummy for me today.. they did it without even calling 🙂
 
1) How much is it?
2) Is it fast?
3) Will chicks dig it?
4) I wonder what it will take to void the warranty?
5) How much are replacement back tires




<< Number 1 is always asked first. the rest can be asked in any order.

1)
is it a mustang?

2)
is it a mustang from a year I like?

3)
Is it a V8 mustang?

4)
Does it have options that I want?

5)
how many miles are on it? >>



notfred, I like your shopping list 😎

LOL smart ass, good for you. I went to Walmart today to pickup Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon DVD ($16.93) for my roomate and while I was there I asked if they had any Mummy's left. I was going to buy one and mail it to you. Oh well, they were out of stock.
 
Here is how I would rate those five (though their all close):

1) Styling
2) Price
3) Power
4) Reputation/Reliability
5) Fuel Economy

I believe my A4 1.8T has a nice blend of ALL those marks! 😀
 
1) Style.
2) Ability to tone other cars.
3) Is there room for a leg inbetween the drivers seat and the side of the car?
4) Is it made in korea?
 
1)Price
2)Styling
3)Reputation/Reliability
4)Power
5)Fuel Economy

Why price first? Because, if I can't afford it, I could care less how reliable it is, how it looks, how much power it has, or the gas mileage, because I'm not getting it anyway. Why styling second? Because let's face it, if it doesn't look good to me, why would I be considering it anyway? Luckily, there are plenty of good looking cars out there that are reliable, so I would make my choices from those. I'm not going to buy a crap car just because it looks good.
 
1) riced out stickers that make people think you're being sponsored
2) altezza lights
3) cut springs for lower centre of gravity and *BETTER* handling 😛
4) front wheel drive and superspoiler
5) fake watermelon sized exhaust (can't forget this one)
 


<< 1) Nissan
2) Styling
3) Engine
4) Price
5) Reliability

Nissan ~ Driven >>



Hey I have a Nissan (1995 200SX SE-R), I would definetly consider buying another one. This car has been basically problem free since I've had it (short of a bad oxygen sensor, but that's minor stuff).
 
trmiv no way!
i have a 1995 Nissan Sentra (4 door version of the 200SX for those that aren't familiar with Nissans 😛), and I had the O2 sensors go bad just this winter. i was buggin out when i saw the Check Engine warning light up. brought it to Nissan service (stupid move btw), and they replaced it for an outrageous $250 parts and labor. Other than that, the thermostat went bad and that's about it.

Nissan ~ Driven
 
1.Supreme Handling
2.Excellent Power
3.Nice Ride Quality
4.Good Build Quality
5.Interior Comfort

Hmmm...that basically sums up a SLC Corrado. WAHOO🙂
 
I'd say:

1) Reputation/Reliability
2) Price
3) Features/Interior
4) Power/Handling
5) Fuel Economy

Reliability is my #1 concern. Also, the interior of a car is more important to me than the exterior. I am more worried about comfort and you can't see the styling from behind the wheel. 😀 That said, styling would still be #6 or 7 (gotta impress the neighbors!) 🙂

If I ever have kids, you can bet interior room and safety would move up a few notches.
I drive an '00 Sentra, in case you're curious.
 

1)Price
2)Performance
3)Style
4)reliability
5)comfort

I think everyone should have price on the first because unless u are filthy rich you wont compare cars by performance from start, u'll set limits on how much to spend, then compare the cars in that range.. otherwise we'll all own Mclaren F1, Modena, Porsche GT2 blah blah blah.
 
1)Performance/Power
2)Price
3)Reliability
4)Styling
5)Comfort

They're all closely related in my book though, the only one that takes presidence over the rest is performance, the rest all matter very much to me as well.
 
Design, Power, Image, Sex 'n girls

Since we have Prez Bushinsky, we don't have to care for fuel consumption anymore,
