There is no point buying a car even if it does every thing you want it to - if you look at it and throw up then you've bought the wrong car!There are so many cars out there that do the same thing these days, but they all look different.You should really know if you can afford a car before you even look at it. I mean if you are looking at a 60K car and you only wanna spend 200 dollars a week, well guess what - you either need a better paying job, or you need to go down in price!

QLD Posted 30/08/08 02:27 AM Share Posted 30/08/08 02:27 AM (edited) Something comfortable, that gives you a smile when you give it some, and doesn't make you look like a knob.Electric everything and a decent sound system helps as well. Build quality is a big thing with me... Don't ask why I bought a Ford.
