What do you look for in a car?

I need a load of basic ideas for an assignment on Quality Function Deployment I'm doing at Uni.

I need regular comfort type things you look for, like "easy to park", which I could then break up into 'overall car dimensions' and 'rear parking sensor'.

Anyone with kids may say "passenger safety", which I could break up into 'air bags', 'warning sensors for non seat-belted passenger', etc etc.

Give me the laymans terms and then I'll try to break those up into engineering solutions.



Get to work! big grin

I'm not sure what to look for yet, I don't have money. I just use my parental unit's vehicle of movement for the time being...

"What do you look for in a car?"

Four wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel...I guess.

It has to be fast, I want to drive aboot 300 km/h that would be nice, than I should like the look of it, and it should have ebnough space (I am 6' 6'') and it has to be german of course.

Well at the moment i look to see if its a Long wheeled base, also power steering.

I would also look for rear parking sensor just because it can come in handy when i park close to a car.

Also i would love the heated front windows which the new Merc has got would really come in handy on a cold frosty day. Also heated seats are cool.

Has to safe must have a good crumple zone.

a plain standard car you see everyday, like the ford mondeo for england..
a ton of money and a little customization, i dont want to buy a flashy looking car, i want to BUILD one

Being a poor uni student at this point of time the most important thing is fuel efficiency (boring I know, but eh)

I look for legroom, headroom, trunk space, 4-door capacity, off-the-lot power, power windows, locks, heated seats, aw hell... I'd say the equivalent of a Crown Vic with a massive 16-cyl engine and a smoother ride than sex on silk sheets and quieter than a comatose deaf-mute.

But it's gotta have good styling. Like a Mercedes or BMW or a Bentley. I won't have a car that looks like a 14-year old drove it through a fiberglass fabrication plant.

4 weels, engine, steering wheel and seats...as long as it gets me from A to B i dont mindbig grin

well the basics would be nice...remote controlled steering, side, front + back rocket launchers, camouflage...and lasers in the headlights would be nice, and an EM jamming device to totally screw up the bad guys engine!
