Worth knowing
- Towing can cut range by half or more, so standard-range trucks suit local use and extended-range versions are worth seeking.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for real running costs: performance tires often cost $1,200 to $2,000 a set and can wear out in 15,000 miles, and brakes cost more to replace.
The trim we'd park in our garage
