our car cost us an arm and a leg.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. "Our car cost us an arm and a leg" is an exaggerated statement about the car's cost. "Darla didn't dare to answer the door" is a simple statement without exaggeration. "Love is like a compass" is a metaphor (a comparison without "like" or "as" for hyperbole context here, it's a direct comparison but not hyperbole).

Answer:

Our car cost us an arm and a leg.
