KARTer 2nd Gear March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 How do you rank your priority when you choose your present ride... or the next one? What do you really want in your car? For me, the priority changes depending on the needs of me and my family for the next few years I have to live the the car after the purchase, current car is as follows, not sure about the next car yet: 1. Above average power / handling (TC/SC will be added advantage) 2. Looks and function (flexible loading capacity like MPV/SUV/Stationwagon type) 3. Reliable (to the extent it's trackable) and good resale potential Not that important: 1. Space 2. Image Are yours different? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupecabriolet Clutched March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 1. decent performance (only TC/SC or IL6 for me from now onwards) 2. design of car 3. model to have relative exclusivity on the roads (hopefully not as common as some family sedans, that will do) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph22 Turbocharged March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 Actually what to look for in terms of safety?.... more airbags or big big bumpers etc? most easiest one is Ncap rating. but on top of that, i prefer those with 4/5 star but low on pedestrian rating one. this mean their bonnet pretty hard.

Joseph22 Turbocharged March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 you see pedestrians as bowling 'pins'?? .... no lah. i prefer to look out for pedestrian myself instead of letting stupid ncap look after them. frankly speaking, if we are moving at 80km/hr, how soft the car metal is also no use if we hit human. so i cannot understand why the like to add this in. only show show nia not practical.
