Car Question

[tarzanx]

Car question:
If you were to buy a new car would you go for the least polluting one or the one with the biggest and noisiest engine...??

 

[aphex]

Biggest noisiest engine... of course~!

 

[DanJ]

Who buys a car based on that criteria lol?

 

[tarzanx]

Well where I come from most people over 25 buys cars that don't pollute... that's the most important criteria for many people here
I was just curious if that's how it is other places too... and I would absolutely buy my next car based on that criteria... so I guess that ME!!

Just buy what you feel like. Personally I chose a big powerful truck, but I need to pull a boat. If a little economical car works for you, get it. I would think your decision would be based more on price than that.

<< biggest and noisiest engine >>


One of the good things about living in New Zealand, AUSTRALIAN CARS!!! YEAH BABY!!

 

[TheOmegaCode]

The one that is the cheapest... and doesn't dent when those damn kids don't get out of my f*cking way! Oh, wait, you weren't asking about that...

Every new cars sold in the USA meets tight emmisions standards. The biggest engine isn't always the noisiest.

 

[ShadowHunter]

Biggest and noisiest!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down with emission standards! Up with classic muscle cars!!

 

Best;
Fuel Mileage
Build Quality
Value
Style

In that order.

Ofcourse I have never bought a new car in my entire life and never will.

"The biggest engine isn't always the noisiest"

That's the truth! My friggen 12HP Riding Mower makes such a racket (even with a brand new muffler), I can't stand it! My 7.5L V8 runs so quiet you can't hear it!

You honestly buy cars based on "least polluting"? Can't relate to that... AT ALL! My criteria in order would be:

1. Initial cost
2. Safety
3. Room
4. Comfort
5. Cost of upkeep/Repairs
6. Acceleration
7. Appearence

Mileage and pollution don't even enter the equation!

Edit: "...never bought a new car in my entire life and never will."

Roger that!

interesting how u guys have cost as #3 or below...

cost shoudl be #1 as i dont think u guys start looking at Aston Martin or Ferrari when shopping for cars. you pick the amount you can afford then choose the cars in that range... unless ur filthy rich!... in case u are, buy me the latest RX-7 plz hehe

It's like they say "injection is nice but I'd rather be blown!"

 

[vi edit]

Why not pick a happy medium. Respectable milage/emmisions and decent performance. A nice turbo'd four cyl fits that bill.

 

[Ornery]

You're trading milage/emmisions AND a large margin of safety for torgue and simplicity. As long as gasoline is so damn cheap and "the other guy" is smoking like a chimney & commuting 30K miles per year, why make that sacrifice?
