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.

1. safety
2. maintenance cost
3. reliability
4. brand

[ranod55]

1) engine first-na hindi ako ititirik
2) brand-resale value and durability to use
3) safety-complete
4) exterior-looking good
5) interior-elegance and comfortable,specially the sound system
6) unit price
7) dicount and compliments
8) finally-service

[kimpOy]

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

[theveed]

I believe Price will be the first option

[mrpink]

price - kaya honda at hindi bmw ang kotse ko
brand - dito yung resale/reliability - kaya honda at hindi kia ang kotse ko (no offense to kia peeps)
engine - power when you need it
safety - ayoko maging crashtest dummy
exterior - para papa-ble kung makita ka loob
interior - kelangan comfi si misis at ako rin siempre
saleslady - hehe ..

[WeaponX]

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

For me, next is brand, safety then engine.

[corvax]

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.

[Bogeyman]

In no particular order:

Price - dapat affordable, especially since brand-new ang titignan ko.

Interior - before, I was practically crazy about a vehicle with 4WD but had no more interior space than a car. Ngayon, ample space na hanap ko whether for people or cargo, especially now that we have a business on the side, and the plans to start a family.

Engine - not too difficult/expensive to maintain, and has enough power for my needs. Diesel syempre, pero dapat relatively quiet pa rin.

Exterior - huwag naman yung sobrang ganda na takaw-mata na sa magnanakaw, pero yung medyo lilingunin naman kahit paano. Ride height is also important. I like to have a commanding view of the road.

Features/Amenities - no pawis windows/steering for me or the wife, thank you.

Track record - subok na yung sasakyan ng mga in-laws ko, kaya yun din ang gusto kong kunin. Idol ko mga biyenan ko eh, hehehe.

Since brand new, i look a lot at the brand: reliability resale and parts availability since i'll be shouldering the brunt of the depreciation and most likely be planning to keep the car for a long time...

[bad driver]

Exterior lang muna talga. screw test driving. parang girlfriend yan. looks muna importante.... anyways, good things come in good packages din naman.

edit: wait, Exterior with BADGE in mind. I mean, I'll never buy the tiburon or Sorento although they are friggin beautiful to me.

[4wrider]

The company behind the car, reliability and residual value.

[driven]

cars with all-terrain capability would be my top priority, imagine na kung yung lugar na madalas mo dinadaanan ay madalas binabaha, kawawa naman yung car

when driving a sedan or cars with low ground clearance, lagi akong kinakabahan kapag biglang naabutan ako ng malakas na ulan or bagyo

[bajumbo]

Ako ang hinahanap ko ung agent na maganda ang serbisyo.....

Reliability
Safety
Comfort
Exterior looks
Interior looks
Power
not in order but definitely the ones I'll look for in a new vehicle

[pitbullz]

i chose practicality(not in the list). ease of owning and maintaining it. the cost of operating and maintaining the vehicle. the 1st thing that comes into my mind is FUEL ECONOMY
