Needs or requirements aside. A bit of both for me, using the A class Merc as an example I just love the look of the saloon but the hatch offers better value with added packs. If possible to spec the same even at extra cost I would choose Looks, if it came down to not being able to spec the same I would go for value as I don’t mind the look of the hatch just prefer the saloon.
im not sure I could go for a car on value alone there would have to be “something about it” (appealing) and I too dismiss some just because there is “something about it” (unappealing) yet are fantastic cars and offer great value, sometimes I can’t even put my finger on it, it’s simply just “something about it”
