Don't look at me like that; I learned it on jury duty.
The CHH classification scheme enables comparison of the attack surface of various cars you might consider.

Getting into mine would be disappointing... no normal hotwire strategy or shaved key will start the car. I took additional measures. I follow the same strategy with cars as I did with bikes: "crappy bike, great lock" .... in this case "crappy looking car, oddly hard to steal." They'll get in, but they won't want to stay, there will be little to take, and when they go the car will still be sitting there. It actually was broken into three years ago. They went through everything and took an ancient gen1 ipod shuffle, but if they were interested in the car... well.. I still have it, so...
