    Para sa Kin:

    Interior - Ako kasi Driver so dapat pag sakay ko sa car dapat, comfortable, maaliwalas and relaxing he he.

    Safety - Need I say more = )
    Brand - Car is also an investment so mas OK kung di malugi masyado when it's time to dispose of it or when repairs are needed.
    Engine - I'm not primarily after the performance, I lean towards better fuel economy and quietness, secondary na lang yung torque and power.
    Exterior - When I drive, I dont see the exterior so It's not my priority to buy cars for others to see, but for me to enjoy - thus my priorities he he.

    In Order.
    Brand/Safety-siyempre resale/parts and toughness are numero uno.

    Interior-meaning space...siyempre mas maluwag mas comfortable lalo na sa isang family man.

    Engine-the most powerful yet economical pa rin ang hanap ko.

    Exterior-dapat fogi ang tsikot ko parang ako.

    Others- the more the merrier

    Oo nga. Price should be included. I agree na dito dapat mag-umpisa.

    For me, next is brand, safety then engine.

    price - hindi dapat taga - unlike bmw libis, akala mo kung sino yung isang salesman nila (sana may makatapat syang customer na babarilin nalang sya), kala tuloy nabubulok lang lahat ng 60+ pre-owned units nila.

    When I started shopping for our car before(2nd hand). The first things I considered were:

    Interior Space, Ergonomics - Since I am over 6 ft in height the car had to be spacious.
    Reliability - I wanted something that could last 5, even 10 years down the road.
    Cost of ownership - Fuel Economy, Cost of repairs/parts, Cost of Registration
    Looks - The car had to reflect my lifestyle in a way.

    And after all the considerations I chose a 95 Honda Accord Exi...

    I'll go with ENGINE & SAFETY.

    Non-inclusion of ABS & Airbags are a big turn-off to me.
