postheadericon How to Choose Your First Japanese Car

A first car generally implies a beginner driver or teenager, and so automatically the best suggestion that can be given would be to buy an all-around car. This is either the Toyota Corolla or the Honda Civic. Why? Why not American or European cars?

 

 

Here are some of the reasons why these two Japanese cars are first pick:
  1. Just like a plug and play, the Civic and the Corolla are a sit and drive kind of car. They are not high maintenance
  2. They look good coming and going. For new drivers, it’s also easy to dress them up – just watch the movie, Fast and Furious. You’ll see different ways a modification on these cars can turn them unique and fierce.
  3. They’re fuel efficient which means less burden on the wallet
  4. There are spare parts and they’re affordable
  5. Insurance companies will not give you a hard time about having them insured because they have a good reputation for not being the type of car to steal and they are reliable on the road
  6. It’s easy to unload them when you decide to upgrade to a new car

If you are to buy a used car, you should follow these guidelines:

  1. Choose a woman driver as the previous owner than a male teenager or senior citizen. They tend to be careful drivers, neat and almost always spend on maintenance
  2. If you are going to buy an imported car, make it a Japanese car because they’re like women- they take care of their cars and not just its aesthetics but more importantly, the engine maintenance and performance
  3. Bring a mechanic with you when looking at the vehicle.

These are just the basic guidelines when looking for your first car. You should also read up on the brand you want and see how consumers and experts feel about it.
