A lower starting rate. Its comparison rate starts at 6.61%, below the typical 8.63%, and the comparison rate counts the standard fees too, so it's a fair guide to a lower overall cost.
One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 6.24%, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
No monthly fee. The cost doesn't creep up the longer you take to repay.
A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.

Secured against an asset. That usually keeps the rate down, but the lender can take the asset if you can't repay.
An early repayment fee. Paying the loan off early or refinancing can cost a fee, which cuts into what you save by repaying sooner.
