2. 3 4 10 Economy ▶Reading Comprehension Why People Buy Luxury Cars? Some people do not mind paying $100,000 for a luxury car. They believe buying a luxury car can be worth it for various reasons. First, people buy luxury cars for safety. Luxury cars tend to offer more safety features than their non-deluxe counterparts. According to Consumer Reports, 71 percent of 2009 vehicles with standard stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking systems, side-front airbags and curtain airbags cost at least $30,000. Second, luxury cars have higher resale values. For 2009, eight out of 15 segment winners came from a luxury brand or cost more than $30,000. Standouts include the distinctive and quick-selling Mini Cooper, which starts at $18,700, but is one of the most expensive options in the compact class and is made by luxury automaker BMW. Third, luxury cars have prestige. People turn when an Audi R8, Jaguar XF or Aston Martin DB9 rolls into view. They get parked in the best positions at valet lots and announce your arrival into polite society, or at least the local country club. Fourth, luxury cars have state-of-the-art technology. Historically, luxury cars have offered the latest and greatest safety features and entertainment technology. In 2009 luxury models, you can get everything from remote starters, electronic parking aids and rain-sensing windshield wipers to a fully integrated iPod music interface. Lastly, luxury cars come with plenty of horsepower without even having to upgrade the engine. Out of 353 2009 models evaluated by Consumer Reports, only six of them had at least 300 horsepower and cost under $30,000. Fifty-two had at least 300 horses under their belt and cost more than $30,000. Leading them is BMW’s M-line, with models that bring 400 to 500 horsepower. ☞ Choose the best answer based on the article.
