What do priority features and compromising features mean?

Question

I have to do a report for driver's ed and I don't know what these terms mean.

I do have examples for each, though:

Priority Features: number of seats, MPG [city, highway], navigation, manual/automatic

Compromising Features: Color [interior, exterior], 4 or 6 cylinders, stereo

Answer 1

It sounds like a priority feature is a "must have" item.. it is a priority. My car must have seating for 6, that is a priority. If the car color is blue, well, I can live with that. I would like it to be silver but I can give in (compromise) on that.
