04 · What AI told this consumer

Specialist parts, repairers and vehicle value.

Classic Cover appears in all four imported-car answers and Star Insurance in three. AA Insurance, AMI and Assurant / Protecta each appear in two. The key facts are specialist parts, repairer choice and the treatment of a car that is difficult to repair. The results differ sharply from the ordinary-household shortlist and are not a generic ranking for all imports.
