Things to consider when insuring one
Driver-assist sensors come standard
They can help avoid crashes, but a windshield or bumper repair often needs the cameras and radar recalibrated, which costs more. Check what your comprehensive and collision deductibles would mean for a glass claim.
Most owner complaints are about the vehicle speed control
28 of 70 complaints to NHTSA mention it. Worth a look in a pre-purchase inspection.
