As long as I can connect my phone and listen to Pandora I'm good.

It would be cool if it came with one of those charging cables for my phone too.

Some cars don't come with airbags, so I would want one with those too

I could go prowl the internet for a few seconds but lemme tell you what's wrong instead, the entire inside is 90 degree angles. 90 degree angles are the coldest of all angles, they're not form fitting and they assault the eyes, something like an NSX where it hugs your arm like your mother does before she changes your diapers you fucking baby.

A good interior wraps around the driver, or at least gives the illusion of doing so, that Nissan looks like you getting into your desk at your cubicle, cold, stiff, and boring.

I just want something comfy for when I'm on my period and it has to have huge seats for my big fat ass. My vagina just wants a crossover.

Interesting to see how different everyone's opinion is.

For me:
>RWD
>Refined engine--inline 6, V10 or W12 are my favourites
>Proud, handsome, timeless exterior
>Full leather interior, with nice woodgrain
>Superb ride feel, but nice handling when needed
Basically limits me to British luxury, and I'm 100% fine with that.

Inline 4, 6, or V8.
I stay away from any V6 pattern from a company that makes a V8. It's always the worst version..

Ideally I want a high gear ratio since I don't go that fast anyway. And I'd like some type of forced induction or an aftermarket that let's me do it myself or has cams.

I also want a lot of wheel well space so I can put wider tires on myself. I haven't driven a car under 300 in the back in a long time.

I don't really care for power... Power/weight is more important to me.
