FACTORS CONSIDERED IN BUYING A VEHICLE
As in previous surveys, purchase cost, fuel economy/running costs, size and type of vehicle were the main four factors considered when buying a motor vehicle. Just over half (53%) of households considered price a factor when purchasing a motor vehicle. The next highest factors considered were fuel economy/running costs (41%), size of the vehicle and type of vehicle (both 32%). At 4%, environmental impact/exhaust emissions was the least considered factor when purchasing a motor vehicle (table 3.5).
