Calum's Top 7 reasons to buy a Toyota

Why buy a Toyota? 

There are more car manufacturers in Australia than there are in any other country, yet Toyota consistently sells more than any other manufacturer (around 20% of all vehicles sold in Australia are a Toyota) Toyota also has the world’s most popular vehicle, the Corolla.

So why do people choose to buy a Toyota over the other brands? Like most good things, there isn't really one single reason that makes Toyota so popular. So here are 7 reasons that make Toyota the chosen brand for one 5th of Australia!

1. Safety - Number 1 on most people's check lists when buying a new car, is it safe? Toyota constantly out does itself with safety, continually improving on how many airbags the car has, how the Safe-T cell operates and protects passengers, using the best materials to help absorb any impact to the car, using crash test dummies built to be as close to real humans as possible. As well as all of this, Toyota tests around 1500 vehicles each year (that’s 3 per day!) in a room that to make sure they're not doing something to the car that could be done better. Toyota also exceeds itself whenever they have to recall a vehicle. There are certain laws that stipulate when a manufacturer must recall a vehicle, if the vehicle is newer than 6 years old then the manufacturer must recall a vehicle to have any potential issues resolved. If it is older than 6 years old when the potential fault is discovered then the manufacturer has no legal responsibility to do anything. Toyota goes well beyond the extra mile and will recall any age vehicle, regardless of how small the issue is. Because of all of this, the vast majority of all Toyota vehicles now receive the 5 star ANCAP award, the highest safety rating for a vehicle in Australia.

2. Reliability - You don't buy a car for it to break. You buy something that you know will get you from point A to point B confidently. This is another huge reason Toyota is so popular, not just in new cars, but in used cars too. People know the Toyota badge and trust it. This doesn't happen overnight, this comes from years of proving itself as one of the most reliable vehicles in the world.

3. Resale - Due to the outstanding reliability a Toyota offers, it helps keep the cars value from depreciating quickly, therefore, when you come to sell it, you know you're going to have had a good car, that isn't going to break the bank for you to own it.

4. Range - Toyota has such a huge range of vehicles to choose from, there really is something for everyone. Whether you're buying your first car and want something small and easy to drive, or you're a mad off roader looking for the best 4WD to take you anywhere, you will find something to suit you in the Toyota range!

5. Servicing - Every Toyota vehicle comes with a fixed price service cost for the first 3 years or 60,000kms. This is a log book service cost that covers the cost of all parts and labour. You can use that fixed price service cost at any Toyota dealer around the country! If you decide to buy a Toyota from Sunshine Toyota and service it with us, you will get the added benefit of an extra 3 year warranty for FREE!!

6. The Guest Experience - Toyota has always put the customer first, and is always striving to do new things to meet continuing customer demands. You will always be looked after if you are a Toyota Guest!

7. The Name - You don't tell people you buy a Toyota and have people look at you like you have just told them bad news. They are impressed and want to be just like you. The same cannot be said about every brand. So if you want to have the safest, most reliable car while still impressing all your friends, then its time you bought a Toyota!

Parts Talk - Parking Sensors

It is common for many top of the range vehicles to come fitted with parking sensors, but many makes and models don't have this feature fitted as standard. Not only will they improve your parking abilities and stop minor collisions. Fitting them will also add value to your car.




Parking can be one of the most challenging aspects of driving with even the best of us ending up with expensive bodywork scrapes and dents on our own or other people's vehicles.




Parking Sensors work by sounding audible "beeps" as your vehicle gets closer to an object when moving forward or reversing. A single continuous beep warns you that you need to stop, enabling you to park risk free, even in small spaces.




Unfortunately there are a number of serious accidents every year where children have been seriously injured or ever killed by reversing vehicles as they are not visible to the driver. With Parking Sensors you will never have to worry. You will be warned when pulling out of your drive or parking spaces when another vehicle or person is behind you.
