                I removed practicality from economy because I consider all my vehichles very practical for what they were bought for. None of which is gas milage.

                          I guess I put price first because if I cannot afford it the rest of the ratings are pointless.

                            I did this for both my daily driver and my muscle cars since I look for different things depending on what I use the car for.

                              1. If I can even fit in the car. I'm 6'3"
                              2. Will the local dealer be a major pita to get any warrantee work performed. If the dealer is a pita, then I am hesitant to get the car if I know it is a sure thing, that my arse will be lubed by the dealers service dept
                              3. Appearance... I hate bubbly-bland cars
                              4. performance. I do not want a Dodge Neon showing me up
                              5. Affordability. I can only get what I can afford. That's reality
                              6. Rest is just Icing
