Don't misunderstand, I'm not opposed to using the Internet to find your dream car. Computers make it easy to do comparison shopping. You quickly learn if the manufacturer offers anti-lock brakes as standard equipment, or as an option, or not at all. That saves time running from showroom to showroom. Although one might learn a lot about a prospective soulmate, to become fully committed is ridiculous.
Any love connection is more than mere statistics.
For me, making a long term commitment with a vehicle must be done by the seat of my pants - literally. I want to know how well we connect, and the connection begins by sitting in the driver's seat. Believe me, all seats are not created equal. There are some expensive cars that I can't wait to part with for the simple reason I don't feel comfortable with that particular vehicle. When I took a course at a high performance driving school, I was told to sit upright because it would give me maximum ability to quickly maneuver the car.
