I am copying this from a newspaper that has a section on automobiles. It was used to determine a persons personality and ultimately a persons general outlook on life. For instance, the top rated answer was Brand Name. Which suggested the people who participated were more egotistical than those who chose fuel efficiency. Seems rational, but I have a feeling people chose brand name with the idea of generalizing all of the above. For example, if someone chose brand name, specifically BMW, that pretty much includes all of the above. because of this, I added All of the above as an option. But you can choose more than one answer.
For me, I take into consideration all of the above to some extent, but for the most part I dont particularly worry too much about fuel efficiency or the size of the engine. The way I figure it, if I have a Lotus Elise in mind, doesnt matter to me the size of the engine, the fun factor of the car is the final result.

All of them to a point with the exception of Brand Name.
However the important two for me are Exterior Styling and Interior Styling.
Exterior: It needs to be pleasant enough to make me want to look at it, get in it and drive it.
Interior: It needs to be pleasing to the eye when I'm in there.

Depends what I want the car for.
For the daily driver I look at fuel efficency + cheap to buy/run/insure.
For the weekend toy, I look at fun, although that's not on your list, its the feeling that matters, not anything specific like handling or engine size, for me anyway.
Aye. What he said ^^. I look for VERY different things depending on what the car is for.For the daily driver I look at fuel efficency + cheap to buy/run/insure.

If I had to pick one car to do everything. The only thing I would not want it to have is on particular brand.
main thing for me is cruise control, when you have it and it stops working, u really miss it, air con is next and then cd player, but most decent cars have them
like a car with a big boot, currently got ford focus estate, but due to company car rules, get a limited choice, I can of course pay more for the car, any options are lost if the car is stolen or recalled
went for a mondeo edge this time, bigger boot than the focus, not sure what colour it will be, as long as it is not silver then not worried, exterior ? tend to be in the car most of the time and not worried
