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.
