To be dead honest, I don't even rate 'Goes Everywhere" because I don't expect a car to go everywhere and do anything. My values in a car could be seen as somewhat shallow, but if a car looks like crap I really wouldn't buy it. I'm not at the stage where I'm really concerned with fuel consumption, I see it as if I can afford a $450,000 car I sure as hell must be able to afford the fuel. In reality, I can afford a $16,000 car so the fuel consumption should be somewhat better (talking new cars here.) A car must ride and handle for me, if that's crap then I'd never buy it full stop. I have a major issue with little rattles, I just can not stand them. I get so pissed off with just the smallest rattle or creak, so my ideal car would be pretty robust. My values could change tomorrow, but right now I really don't consider pacticality and capbility that important.
The reason I love cars is not for their motors etc, it's for their styling and handling and steering. I want a car that is fun to drive and look at. I'm still young so I have plenty of time before I get myself a minivan just because it holds 10 people
