What is a tuner car?
What does it mean when a vehicle is described as a tuner car? I’ve been looking at ads online for cars and I’ve seen this phrase a few times, but I don’t really understand what it means.

Car terms can be really confusing! A tuner car is a type of vehicle that has had a lot of parts replaced to make it faster. However, sometimes people will refer to vehicles as tuner cars if they have been modified to enhance their performance.
When you tune a car, you adjust or change certain parts or features for better performance. This is where the name comes from!
If you’re not looking for a specific feature from your vehicle, buying a tuner car might not be the best option for you. Tuner cars are usually geared towards people who want a faster car, so if you’re just looking for an everyday vehicle, an untuned car might be a better choice.
When you decide on a new vehicle, you’ll need to decide on an insurance policy, too. Check out the
