Which of these do you use ? - Team-BHP

normally_crazy · 25th October 2004, 20:24

Guys,

We have to decide a lot of things when we go to buy a car. As far as i can see here the majority of us love to drive but have to make do with cars not our style !!

And sometimes it happens vice-versa ...we are out to buy a economiser and suddenly when we see a car all hell breaks loose and we come back with what we never expected to buy!!

I think this must have happened to all of us at some point or the other .. the heart over ruling the head and vice versa..

I know there are a lot of factors that come into play here but what i want to know is simple.....what do you follow when u buy a car ?

cheers

First Head and then Heart.

I have voted for the first option but i guess its a combination of both. It should appeal to the heart first but the head needs to approve it too.
I could never buy a car though that makes good practical sense but I dont like it - for e.g. I didnt even consider the santro and indica when i was looking for a hatchback.

When I buy a car its my head because the car is also going to be used by my wife and family if u guys get my drift when modifying my car [ Fiat ] I used my heart and a whole lot of it

Welll.. Head First... cauz... even if Heart says.. go buy a Ferrari...the head will put its head in between!!!

My head and heart work together

Aditya · 25th October 2004, 23:38

It's about 70% heart and 30% head for me. Isn't it reflected by the car i drive?

My heart predominantly.... i follow what my heart says first, but, i do think about it wid my head!

lamborghini · 26th October 2004, 03:08

well it used to be my heart but now i have begun using head instead
for eg - the e270 cdi
my dads heart went out for the car but my head chose the cdi...
but the other cars like the palio, accord , corolla etc have all been heart but now with rising prices its become mostly my head and a sudden love 4 diesels

nitrous · 26th October 2004, 03:35

my heart....btw, my heart won't ask for a ferrari unless it knows i have the cash.

satish_appasani · 26th October 2004, 16:07

My heart first but executed by my head....

anoops · 26th October 2004, 16:12

aggressive_anush · 26th October 2004, 16:39

I dont think i use my head for anything...

amit · 28th October 2004, 02:25
