The Car for Everyone {Finished}

[nialloftara]

Oh that note, will practicality be factored or just utility?

[strop]

Remember that now utility and practicality are split into two different stats. Utility is about stats like towing (powaaa!) and practicality is about good use of the spaces (higher for MPVs and high nr. of seats, low for coupe and low number of seats).
Check the practicality.

Practicality comes back at 54.25, but given I have little experience with the numbers, I'm not sure how good that is!

And on niall's question, I had a more general one. No offense intended, titleguy, but your previous competitions, while excellent in premise, have occasionally featured, let's say, judgments which differed from what we would have expected from the initial description. Have you got a quantifiable system of measures here so we can have some degree of confidence in our statistics?

Alright fine. I'm in too.

Since everyone is in a posting mood... I guess it's time to unveil the 2015 Ardent Sierra S 2.3.

This is the entry-trim of the Sierra model, slotted below the LS and LS-T versions. Under the hood is a 2.3L Pegasus-II motor, specifically the PB4-B. Designed with Ardent's history of frugality and simplicity in mind, this 5-seat wagon still has all the standard equipment to satisfy conscious buyers' tastes.

So here it is. LCM's 2015 Hynix 1.5T!

Here unveiled the Znopresk Zest+ 2.0 EL7

The entry level of the Zest+ (the MPV version of the regular Zest) for the American market (no rear orange turning signals and bigger engine), with 7 seats and lot of power! (at least for a Znopresk).

It mount the new 2.0 liter inline 4 engine (codename ZEL4.Q-2417) that is the same recently supplied to Camoria, but this is a NA eco variant.
7 seats, plenty of space and huge practicality (129.61) make this car a perfect choice for the family that want an affordable, reliable, safe and practical car. It have also that small glance of sportiness to avoid get asleep while driving it.

the sporty, yet economical Centauri Neo rolls in. Packed with advanced technologies throught out, this affordable 4 seat compact crossover is powered by a lively 1.6 turbo 4 cylinder fed to the front wheels through the usability of a 6 speed automatic gear box, mated to a grippy and fun mechanical limited slip diff.

Hmm... at least I'm probably going to be able to claim having one of the CHEAPEST cars in the competition...

Sorry for the late reply. No offense taken, and yes, you can certainly bet that I will stick to my premise. And if I don't, shoot me. (Not really. It's just a figure of speech. Obviously.)

The items will be based off of intervals of certain amounts. For example, let's say for every 1 more sportiness point over the regulation, a car could get 1 more points in the scoring system.

[nialloftara]

i would suggest publicly posting the formula after the deadline and prior to your leaderboard.

For some reason my car, which is supposed to be using active cooling, isn't saving that change, is anyone else useing it and running into this problem? this is kinda major to this contest as it's a difference from 36 mpg to 44.5 mpg.

[titleguy1]

Actually, that's a good point. If anyone is using any active aero/cooling, please tell me, since the game for some reason doesn't auto-save it.
