For me in order of importance:
1. Lower cost of ownership; ie. tax and insurance,
2. I don't want, or need, a car that I may not have the skills to keep on the road, for me 250hp and reasonable torque for good acceleration in passing etc. is more than enough. A top speed of more than 200 kph is something that I will never use.
3. Lower purchase price,
4. Better fuel economy.
