In Australia we do tend to drive long distances - at least some of us. There's a lot of open space between urban centres in some regions. Unfortunately, a lot of people choose vehicles optimised for (for example) off-roading and/or heavy towing, when the vast majority of driving they do is on highways and around town. The car they choose is thus intrinsically compromised - most of the time. Autoexpert discount roadside assistance (Australia-only): https://247roadservices.com.au/autoex... Save th...
