What is more important to you when you buy a car? The luxury of it (airconditioning, leather seats, cruise-control) or the power of the engine...?

I'm currently in the proces of chosing a new car, and I'm currently more going towards the more luxury editions, instead of cars with a lot of horse-powers...

when i buy a car i want it to have as much safety stuff as possible.

accelrate fast enough to get me out of trouble and stop fast enough to avoid it.

have a cd player, comfy seats that hug as much as possible, power stearing, air conditiong, heated rear windscreen.

anything else is a bonus.

anything else? Whatcha mean? Wheels?

Gotta have it all!
Right now we are looking at the new Nissan Maxima(2004's are out)
It has taken a great leap forward!

If that does not cut it, we will get another lex.

Choose for luxury, 'cause the horse power is gonna cost ya !! Speeding Tickets !

a mix of both would be good...but what the fuck do i know i drive a cavalier...(shut up Mike!!)

So should I go for the 80 pk diesel Clio Initiale or the Mégane with the same engine, but less luxery?

I went for less "horse-power" this time as it was getting me in a lot of trouble. (Lead foot)
SO I had all the bells and whistles placed in this one!

Wow, you have good taste! My brother has a Lexus, those are very nice cars!

A little of both.

Luxury all the way!

i'd just want a car with a workin stereo, heat/a.c., don't eat up gas and gets me from point a 2 point b...

Right now, I drive a 12 year old Corolla, so I'd be pretty happy with a car that had airbags and a warranty.

Ideally though, saftey and enviromental concerns are first for me, followed by comfy seats, ac, a good warranty, and a great stereo. I don't care about power as long as it gets the job done.

I may buy a car soon, and I'm probably either going to go with a Lincoln Towncar from the 70s (huge/safe and comfy but an environmental disaster and no warranty) or a new Toyota Echo (enviromentally great, under warranty, updated saftey freatures but small and not so cushy).

reminds me: a friend of mine in high school had a '78 lincoln towncar...baby blue w/powder blue velour interior, blinds on the back window...the ultimate pimp ride. he put so much work into restorin the car as well...treated it like it wuz his pride & joy (dude's a car buff)...

...then he went and sold the car!!! i'm still sorta miffed at 'im 4 that, and this happened four years ago. as 4 me, the closest i'd want 2 a pimp ride is a '79 cadillac seville...

right now, i'd just prefer a car. period.

but i'm partial to sports cars not luxury car.

Luxury does not always mean less power. The BMW 3 series offer a wide array of luxury & power. I went for the power the last time that i purchased a car **96 Camaro**...this time i want to go for the mix. I have been looking at the caddilac Catera's...they have amazing power for a car that size and there is nothing as luxurious as a caddy

ChocolateInvasion said:

By far I do prefer...

Power... I like going fast!

Air conditioning is not a luxury in Indiana. With that said, only one engine is available for my car, and I chose the upgraded version with a leather interior, Bose audio, Torsen limited-slip differential, keyless entry, etc.

Besides. my car is light enough that a 1.8 liter engine provides plenty of power.

I selected a toy this time!

Luxury, but power is a very close second. All of my cars have had some power in them. If i could i would have a Viper or a Porsche. Love the sportscar with power.

Both

Nice car Muse! Can you give me a lift?

MMM...Luxury!


Mmmm...Power!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

me too.

But if I had all the money in the world, I'd go more for style than anything. I don't know anything about cars, and don't really care. I'd want something quirky and cute.

You should choose something with both power and luxury... like an AMC Gremlin.
