In a WalletHub listing released just yesterday, Tues., Oct. 11, Madison was ranked no. 46 of America’s best + worst cities to drive in.

Using a sample of the 100 most populated US cities, WalletHub measured:

  1. Cost of ownership + maintenance
  2. Traffic + infrastructure
  3. Safety
  4. Access to vehicles + maintenance

The 608 rated well in categories one and three, however, ranked near the bottom in two and four. No. 95 overall for access and maintenance — is this true to your experience? Let us know if you have a hard time finding service or if you’ve got some pro tips on the matter.
