...purchased a highly rated vehicle by test score/reliability from most of the auto PRESS. Then, get the vehicle home and give all of your family & friends a good test drive or even let folks drive the vehicle only to have people ask in a negatively way, "GEEZ, how much did you pay for this thing"?
I have done this several time in the past with certain "highly" rated vehicles(The GREAT NAMES of the automotive industry) only to have this question posed to me. I have purchased vehicles that were uncomfortable for my passengers(though the driver seat was OK), loud interiors, So-so ride comfort etc.
Then I have purchased the lesser reputable vehicles that fit my criteria in terms of quiet/comfort, good ride isolution etc. And people would ask in a positive way..."WOW, how much did you pay"?
There is a difference in the tone of the voices of people when they ask, "how much"?
It's either,
GEEZ, or
WOW!
