Abstract: Consumer behavior represents the study of individuals and the activities that take place to satisfy their realized needs. That satisfaction comes from the processes used in selecting, securing, and using products or services when the benefits received from those processes meet or exceed consumers' expectations. Through this process, the individual sets out to find ways to fulfill the need he has identified. That process includes the individual's thoughts, feelings, and behavior. When the process is complete, the consumer is faced with the task of analyzing and digesting all the information, which determines the actions he will take to fulfill the need. The consumer decision making process has constantly been the subject of research in understanding the factors that influence and shape consumer choices as well as the consumer thought process. This research empirically examines the factors impacting consumers' purchasing behavior toward car. The research also identifies relationship between demographic variables and purchase decision as well as ownership of car.
Key Words: Car, Consumer Behaviour, Consumer Decision, Purchase Decision.
