    Safety features (Why?)
    Reliability (Why?)
    Fuel economy (Why?)
    Horsepower (Why?)
    Styling (Why?)
    Comfort (Why?)
    Price (Why?)
    Handling (Why?)
    Environmental impact (Why?)
    Other (What is it?)

    Mine >
    Safety features- Well if i'm drunk and get into an accident i don't want to die, although if that happens i deserve to :)
    Reliability- I think this is most peoples choice, who wants to have a car that does'nt get you to work on time because it broke down?
    And lastly Comfort- If it aint comfortable and does'nt have enough leg room i don't want it!!

    Fuel economy means nothing to me as i don't drive much anyway.
    Horsepower means nothing also, so long as it gets me from A-B!
    Styling- Well that plays a small part.
    Price- Also important, but is just like computer components, if you skimp your not getting what you paid for!
    Handling- Who cares really? As long as it turns corners and does'nt steer me off a cliff!
    Environmental impact- Not too worried about the environment anyway!
    Other- Thats about it for me!

    post your thoughts
    EDIT: Sorry Admins, just realised this should probably be in the Cars forum!
    If so Please move it.
    Thanks

    Top 3 things...(not in any particular order)
    Fuel Economy - because not only am I poor, but the more I save, the more I can spend on my new computer , and geeky shirts .
    Reliability- because breaking down sucks. I think this is a pretty universal thought on the subject.
    Price - mostly because I'm a cheap bastard in college.

    Runners up-
    Safety features - because dying in a car crash sucks a lot more than getting a bloody nose and bruised chest or something
    Comfort - It's hot where I live, and the comfort I'm talking about is mostly having A/C

    My top three would have to be :

    1. Power- Its gotta go fast

    2. Looks- If it looks like a piece of **** It deserved to be in a junk yard

    3. Price- I always need some money left to upgrade parts and i also need money for fuel

    Reliability--It would be my first car of my own, and not knowing much about automotive related topics I wouldn't want to mess around with any breakdowns and pay more money.
    Price--I'm 16 how much money could I afford to blow?
    Handling--it's not vital but I'd like the feel of sportier car that's fun to drive, not some sluggish van that will smash into pedestrians because the turning radius is so bad.
