Just a few additional remarks:
- Rust reputation (Fords and Datsuns)
- Roominess for big people (Wilt Chamberlain probably
                            sat in the back seat in that
                            Rabbit commercial)
- Can you add a trailer hitch and still be under warranty?
- Can your car be readily fixed? (parts availability as
                                  well as competent mechanics)
- Do you pay for options declared as "standard" (already fixed
  into the base price)that you could care less about?
- Are you being price gauged?
