For those of us who don’t take public transportation, there are two basic choices when it comes to choosing a vehicle to get around in. The first is to get the cheapest, most efficient car that will get you from A to B with the least amount of hassle. The second, is to splurge on that really good looking car you’ve always had your heart set on, but more often than not, this option comes with much debt and maintenance expenses.
This article will focus on those shiny, eye-catching cars that we love so much. Only this time, we will let you in on the hidden costs behind these vehicles’ initial price tag. Some of the cars on our list break down often, while others simply cost insane amounts of cash to maintain. Read on to discover the truth about some of today’s most popular cars on the market.
BMW X6
When BMW debuted the X6 model back in 2016, it was immediately received with glowing praise. The SUV featured everything that made the German automaker great, from a powerful engine to incredible technology behind the wheel. In-addition, the X6 is an all-weather, all-wheel drive vehicle, and it can drive on just about any off road terrain (within reason).
Traveling off-road in one of these does have its costs though. SUVs and pickup trucks were meant to be thrashed around, so getting a luxury one feels almost like a sin. Repairs on the X6 are multiple times more expensive than your average SUV, and its gas mileage is 17 miles per gallon on the highway, which doesn’t help its annual costs either. Then again, she is a thing of beauty, so ultimately – you win some, you lose some.
