If you like working on your own cars, any basic maintenance skills will be transferable, too, plus you’ll be able to save money on model-specific tools. Then there’s the consumables; things like oil and filters can be a major expense, and buying the same car more than once may allow you to side-step the costly problem of disposing of unused parts. If you’re not one for DIY car care, then having multiple versions of the same model might also help forge a strong relationship with specialist garages.
Another big reason why some people choose similar (if not identical) cars, is the driving experience. Some of us like to chop and change to get a taste of the wide automotive spectrum, but for others, jumping from car to car can be daunting. Knowing the traits and characteristics of your car, whichever one you choose, can be a weight off a nervous driver’s mind.
Then there’s accessories. You could spend hundreds on roof bars or tow bars – many of which are bespoke to a certain make or model. But bag a like-for-like car and you’ll only need to buy one set. The same could be said of boot liners, smartphone stands and seat covers, too.
