At least insurance is reasonably , 2nd car, 10.000km a year limit
49 euro a month for 3rd party liability and legal aid


Its because of taxation that European cars have lower displacement.
a 5.4 Liter US V8 is even worse in taxes.

And on new cars first reg can be 15 grand or more, if they are poor emissions , high power and big displacement
a Cayman GTS with 4 liter block , 13.969 first reg 3.600 first year road tax, then 3600 every year after.

the 2.0 718 and 2.5 718S are actually very affordable in taxes
But I can't get my head around a 4banger turbo.. I would never be happy with that, no matter how much power they make.
Its N/A Flat 6 and a high redline, or bust for me
