    How about looking to affordability?
    Depends on salary if we can afford to pay for the monthly installment etc.

    one of the most important attributes for me is driving feel, i like to be able to feel the road through the steering wheel and it needs to be a manual. theres nothing that annoys me more than a numb steering wheel and throttle lag.

    I am not an expert on car but here is my experiences:

    1. The first thing you should do is to think long and hard as to how much you want or can spend on a car. (reg fee, tax, and insurance)

    2. Then, what's your lifestyle - long commute to work, local shopping, road trips every month, etc..

    These are the two most important things to consider and will dictate whether to buy a new or used car and the attributes you need. When you talk about attributes - I am guessing you're pointing at options like blue fog light, all powered, airbags, leather, etc..

    Personally, for a gal (like my sis), if I can afford it, I would buy a new car so she can avoid car troubles.

    I'm currently debating to get the Honda Civic or Toyota 1993 Supra to replace my existing Impreza 05'. I think you should go for the Civic!
