2019 model cars that are economically smart and valuable

MOTOR TREND group"INTELLICHOICE" (USA), a company that conducts research related to cars and is a market leader by analyzing the cost and price of owning a car.

That Intellio Choice will be in the 2019 sports car

Which of the following are the cost of ownership considering "car depreciation, maintenance, repair / maintenance, state costs (← because it is a survey by a US agency), financing, gasoline costs, and insurance premiums over 5 years" Is the car the most "economically smart?"

Was out of the ranking. In other words, it's not cost performance, or the price of the car itself is high or low, but it's a good car ranking that you can think of as having less carry-out of the model car when you own the car. ..

Each award (ranking) was ranked according to the following categories.

• Performance car
• Premium performance car
• Luxury performance car
• Open car
• Premium open car
• Sports coupe
• Premium sports coupe

Then, since it's a big deal, I would like to see which car took the first place in each category ^ ^

Best Overall Value Performance Car

First of all, this "the best overall performance car"

1st place Ford Mustang GT Coupe: Ford Mustang GT Coupe

Although it has become a symbol of a muscle car in the world, it is actually one of the cars whose cost of ownership is low.

The five-year ownership cost of this car is $ 49,460, and the five-year depreciation cost is $ 17,465.

It seems that the Mustang GT Coupe owner will pay "14,498 dollars (about 1.59 million yen)" as an operating cost in 5 years.

2nd place Subaru WRX STI: Subaru WRX STI

Subaru WRX STI, which maintains the resale value of 60.46% for 5 years and has a 5-year ownership cost of $ 52,021 (about 5.7 million yen), is in second place.

3rd place Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe

The third place is the Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe with a 5-year ownership cost of $ 53,628 (about 5.9 million yen) and a resale value of 51.281 TP1T after 5 years.

Best Overall Value Premium Performance Car

And then, "the best overall car as a premium performance car"

Among the performance cars, among the more premium models, which car is the best overall is ranked, but this is a feat that Porsche models occupy the top 1 to 3 places.

1st place Porsche 718 Boxster 2.5L Turbo: Porsche 718 Boxster 2.5L Turbo

The operating cost for 5 years is 16,618 dollars (about 1.82 million yen), and the resale value 59.781 TP1T after 5 years.

2nd place Porsche 718 Cayman 2.5L Turbo: Porsche 718 Cayman 2.5L Turbo

The five-year operating cost is $ 17,769 (about 1.94 million yen), and the five-year ownership cost is $ 67,122 (about 7.33 million yen). In the last five years, the car will spend about $ 11,075 on gasoline.

This gasoline price is calculated based on the price in the United States, so if you calculate it with the high octane price in Japan, it will surely be a more scary number.

3rd place Porsche 718 Boxster 2.0L Turbo: Porsche 718 Boxster 2.0L Turbo

It is the third place with a five-year ownership cost of $ 57,009 (about 6.23 million yen) and a resale value of 57.171 TP1T five years later.

For me who personally loves Porsche, I'm kind of happy ^ ^

1st place Porsche 911 GT3: Porsche 911 GT3

Oh ~ Somehow, the Porsche 911 GT3 is the number one in the prestigious luxury performance car category that makes me very happy!
