One factor I haven't seen mentioned, maybe because the typical boglehead wouldn't buy this kind of car
is if the tires are 35 section width or lower.
Both of ours have 21" rims with 30 section tires, so with the bad roads around here we average 1-2 side-wall cut, non-repairable blow-outs a year. The Discount tire warranty easily pays for itself at $485+ a tire.
