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!
