Choose with parking reality in mind: size, wheel vulnerability, key security, risk of theft, insurance and the cost of repairing minor knocks all matter.
Avoid buying for a driveway you do not have
Wide doors, large wheels and poor rear visibility may be no problem in a private garage but frustrating on a narrow terraced street.
Security should be convenient enough to use
A physical security device can be useful only if you are willing to fit it routinely. Good lighting and sensible key storage are simple habits too.
Quote the real parking arrangement
When comparing insurance, describe the place you leave the car normally kept accurately. The result is a better guide than a cheaper quotation based on a situation that does not match reality.
For a car that will spend every night at the kerb, use that real parking situation when comparing cover and security options.
