Hello everyone!

I'm looking into what influences us when we choose to buy a vehicle. There are several aspects that we consider, and I would like us to search within ourselves what those influences are. Fuel economy, power, security, safety, aesthetic appeal, comfort, handling, running costs, parts availability, technical support, competent mechanics, options, resale value, "efizzy", brand loyalty.

Of course, some of the above won't apply to everyone, who may have other ideas. What priority would you place the above influences in, with regards your choice of automobile? Please keep this strictly to the vehicles you currently own, not what you owned in the past, or what you may own in the future.

This time, its the brand. I dont know how it came to be that I never owned a toyota. So I went after the most powerful, the most loxurious and the most sophisticated toyota sedan in the Nigerian market as recently as yesterday.

Would have loved to tell you more. But I cant I have to go back to the car operations manual while the drive is still there b/c in exactly 48hrs I am going to lose interest.

I currently run two Lions: Peugeot 505 V6 & Peugeot 605 V6. What influenced me to buy both cars are as follows:

A) Peugeot 505 V6:

1. Power.
2. Handling.
3. Driving pleasure.
4. Indestructible/durable engine.
5. Better Fuel Economy than I4 505s (XN1 & ZDJL).
6. Suitable for long distance drive on Nigeria highways.
7. Safety.



B) Peugeot 605 V6:

1. Influenced to buy due to the impressive performance of my Peugeot 505 V6 (Similar engine).
2. Comfort (Very roomy/spacious).

I own a BMW 3 series (COJA) sold recently, a Peugeot 307, a Volvo 940, a Ford Explorer and a Mazda MPV

The main consideration for all is that armed robbers and auto thieves will hiss at their sight and continue to look for their favorites,  hence 24 hours a day i feel conformable to drive any of them anywhere and anytime finis.
