Frequently asked questions

How do you choose between two cars?
Compare what costs over time first: reliability (known faults, chain or timing belt), service budget and real-world consumption. The spec sheet rarely separates two cars in the same segment; running costs almost always do.
Which criteria should you compare before buying?
The five that weigh most: yearly service cost, documented model weak points, mixed consumption, insurance for your profile, and space (boot, dimensions). Each of our duels puts them side by side.
Where does Garajo's data come from?
From our maintenance catalogue: generation-by-generation service plans, documented reliability model by model, and official WLTP consumption. Verdicts are recalculated whenever the catalogue is updated.
