Practical or luxurious? There is a perfect car for you

Our vehicles are transport vessels that are designed to ferry us from point A to B safely and in relative comfort.

We choose the vehicles we buy based on how well they will handle the tasks we have for them.

Sometimes we are not sure how to determine these important aspects in the vehicles we hope to purchase.

We often look at a vehicle and assume, based on the marketing and brand positioning that it is the right choice for us.

You might select a vehicle for the status it brings you or simply as a functional tool.

Waste millions

Today, no manufacturer will waste millions of dollars building a vehicle that does not “work” for you.

In most cases today, vehicles come with a warranty of between one and three years.

Sometimes this is extended to five years. Everything is done to ensure that vehicles are safe for your use and there are independent professional bodies that conduct crash tests to determine how safe you will be in the event of an accident.

When choosing a vehicle you must consider how you intend to use it.

Are you a fast driver looking for a pocket rocket or are you looking for a more refined performance car like the exotic Aston Martin DB9?

If you are looking for a family vehicle that does not need to double up as your weekend racer then the Toyota Wish or simple a five-seater like the Toyota NZE or Mitsubishi Lancer are the vehicles for you.

If you really need a racer, then you might want to consider the BMW M5 Touring.

There is a vehicle for you and it might be that little mini or a family saloon or a performance vehicle.

The Toyota Vitz has been wrongly chided by Kenyans for being wanting in many areas that it really is not meant to perform.
