I agree with this, though I put fuel mileage last LOL

 

1. Exterior styling
2. interior styling
3. reliability
4. structural soundness
5. power
6. handling
7. value
8. class

 

1) RELIABILITY
2) exterior
3) performance & AWD
4) cost
5) fuel mileage

 

All wheel drive

I guess I also want fuel economy and HP. Lexus has shown with the GS that you can have a fast car that gets good mileage too. I wouldn't buy an E class until they improved that factor. Too wasteful for little old me.

 

Seat comfort is number one. If the seats aren't comfortable, nothing else matters.

 

1. availability of aftermarket upgrade parts.
2. ease of modification; easy to work on
3. reliability
4. value
5. looks

those are my top 5 things i look for when buying...

 

1) Brand cachet
2) driving characteristics
3) exterior appearance
4) interior appearance
5) value
6) reliability
7) features

 

1. Exterior styling
2. Handling/suspension feel/steering feel
3. Engine/transmission performance
4. Comfort/Quietness
5. Price
6. Interior styling
7. Reliability
8. Practicality/Ease for daily use
9. Fuel economy
10. Origin/country of assembly/make
11. Brand image/value

 

how it holds its value. That pretty much covers everything in a car.

 

1. exterior styling
2. performance
3. price
4. interior styling
5. features (bang for the buck)
6. aftermarket support
7. reliability
8. practicality

 

The price. Isn't that the single most important criteria?

 

How in the heck did you arrive at your choice if this is your list?

If reliability was your most important criteria, you do realize that your car is below industry average?

If exterior was number 1, I've told you before, I think your car is easily one of the best looking cars on the road today, and would agree with you.

My list is actually almost identical to yours:

1)Reliability
2)Performance
3)Interior
4)Exterior
5)Cost
6)Mileage

 

I really do respect a fast car that gets good mileage, no matter the cost. The GSh is the car for me...if only it had a 6MT right?

 

1) reliability
