Now due to coronavirus and restrictions and everything that is making car production very hard and making car prices to rise is very much hard to buy new cars in South Africa today. If you want to buy a new car, you're going to put with an arm and a leg so another save money a lot of people are flocking into the use car market. So today let's try and find out which cars you should buy as a used car or a second hand in South Africa today. Let's go. 1. A number one, the car that you can buy as a second hand or as a used car in South Africa today is what we call it to Yaris. Although it doesn't look that good, its engine and transmission hold up pretty well and beside its Toyota and its made in Japan and the Japanese knows exactly what they're doing because Japan is built differently. Japan builds cars differently than the Germans and is based on a different philosophy than what other cars manufacturers are actually doing for example Europeans and Americans. So Japanese cars are mostly reliable, especially Toyota's. I'm not saying that that car will not give you problems but at least it will not give you a nightmare of engine and transmission. So if you are thinking of buying a second hand car, you can go for a Toyota Yaris. At number four, the car that you should buy as a second hand in South Africa today is what we call the Honda Jairs, known as the Honda Feet in other markets of the world. Not only is Honda very good in making engines but they're very good in making transmissions too, especially if you buy the manual one. All these cars, make sure that you buy the standard transmission which is the manual one and avoid buying automatics because automatics are actually a pain in the airs when you have to fix them and most of the time when people trade them in this car, they usually trade them in because they have some problems whatsoever. So you're going to be inheriting those problems. However, Honda Jairs or Honda Feets are pretty much reliable and the Honda dealerships are actually having a problem these days because Honda cars don't break. So because they don't break, they don't make a lot of money in selling car parts. So if you want a car that won't be reliable and will stick to you to the thinking thing, buy a Honda Jairs. Number 3, Volkswagen Polo Standard Transmission. However, if you're going to buy a Volkswagen Polo, make sure that you buy a Volkswagen Polo Vivo which is the natural aspirated engine with a 1.4 liter or 1.6 liter engine because the one with a turbo usually has a problem when it clocks 100,000 kilometers. Remember, Volkswagen has a problem with its water pump and its thermostat housing. More especially when you clock 100,000 kilometers in upper bath and you're due on your 120,000 kilometers, you definitely are going to part with the NMLA when you're replacing that timing belt. However, their engines are pretty much bulletproof and pretty much reliable. So if you're buying a non-natural aspirated engine, then you definitely go for the Polo Vivo and it will not cost you that much. So that guy is worth looking for or looking at when you're considering buying a second end. However, if you want to buy a turbocharged engine, the 1 liter TSI tends to be pretty much holding up quite well than the 1.2 liter turbocharged. When truly the turbocharged usually has a problem with the water leak on the water pump housing itself. Although this is pretty much called on Volkswagen's. I am a big phone fan. However, I wouldn't advise anyone to buy a 4.0 K or a 4.0 Polo with a DSG transmission. Stay away from that DSG. They give away 80,000 kilometers and replacing them will cost you 35,000. So if you're going to buy a second hand one, buy a Polo that is a manual transmission and the one that is below 45,000 or 65,000 K. And make sure that the service book and the car's history match up because you don't want to inherit a lot of problems from that car. Number 2 if not number 3 is the Suzuki Beleno or the Suzuki Swift. Those cars are pretty much reliable and Suzuki has been making small cars for quite some time. So Suzuki's Japanese brand and remember the Japanese knows what they're doing. So if you buy from Japan, you definitely know that you're going to have a reliable car. So Suzuki Swift or Suzuki Beleno is definitely a car that should be on your shopping list when you're buying a second hand car. Number 2 is the Mazu. Maz Japanese brand I will be saying this over and over again, say for Nissan who actually joined forces with Renault and that has compromised the quality. These cars usually last longer compared to European ones except for Mitsubishi and Nissan these days because you know, that production cars are pretty much crap. However, if you go over Mazda, especially the Mazda 2, that car is pretty much reliable and bulletproof. If you get it at less than 100,000 kilometers, you still can squeeze out 200,000 kilometers out of that car before you fuck in another engine. Because remember, most gasoline engines are designed to run up to 250 or 280,000 kilometers before you need a replacement engine. So if you buy it at less than 100,000 kilometers and less than five years, you still can have 8 or 10 years out of that car's life that the car can give you before start giving you problems. And remember, if you're financing it, make sure that you do a good research before buying that car. So, number one. Number one, top most reliable car that you should buy as a second hand today in South Africa is the Toyota Corolla. That thing is undistractable, is unkillable. You can drive it and abuse it, turbo charge it, put some aftermarket air intake and exhaust, it will still keep on running. I'm not saying they don't have problems but if well taken care of, they will serve you for longer. So if you don't want to worry and have a nightmare of problems of the buying a second hand car, go for a Toyota Corolla.
