The Most Impressive Cars: Do You Drive One?

Did you splurge and buy your dream car after retirement, or did you opt for something more practical to save some cash? You may be surprised at what vehicles are considered “status symbols” and how people react to them on the road. 

As you might predict, the most high-status cars around the country are expensive, according to a new survey from Tinting Chicago. The hefty purchase price of one of these vehicles also comes with higher car insurance costs. For example, the average monthly cost to insure a Mercedes Benz is $283, or about $94 more than insuring a Subaru. If you are in the market for an upscale car, we've matched each car brand in the report to the average insurance cost to take the guesswork out of your car shopping.
