Is one of the things missing from the Hilux which may put off modern buyers its lack of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)?
31 December 2024 06:10
It's a non-issue. When you remember that most Hilux buyers just want toughness and reliability, and not the latest tech features, it’s no surprise that painting an actual product for a virtual model simply is not a priority.
How does the HiAce perform as an everyday driver in urban situations?

For its size, it’s surprisingly nimble. Once you get used to the dimensions it's not much harder to drive than a large SUV.

Not a terrible idea for daily city driving. Parking is a pain, and the fuel economy in stop and go traffic is awful.

I love it and use mine every day in the city. Its high driving position ensures excellent visibility when in traffic.

It's doable but not ideal. Good for wider streets, but a nightmare in old city centers where streets are narrow.

As a tradesman, it's perfect. I have the city down and can get around, and I always have my tools on me. Nothing else I'd trade it for.

Newer models do much better with urban driving than do old ones. A big difference is made by improved turning radius.

It's all about perspective. If you're used to small cars this will feel huge. It'll feel compact if you've driven trucks.
Is the Toyota Celica a good car for a new driver?
30 December 2024 11:00
Absolutely! My first car was a 6th gen Celica and it was perfect. Not too sporty where it would be fun, but not so powerful that I would get into trouble. Surprisingly practical, too, was the hatchback.

I would not recommend it too strongly. Parts for older Celicas are getting harder to find but they are reliable. Something a Corolla or Civic might be a better starter car and cheaper/easier maintenance.

Well it’s going to depend on the Celica and the driver. If you’re going to buy a GT model, make sure it’s in good shape, but I wouldn’t buy the higher powered GT-S for a new driver. It may be too tempting to speed.

I think it’s an awesome first car choice. The community around Celicas is super helpful for learning basic maintenance and it teaches you how to handle a more responsive vehicle.

Personally, I'd say no. For new drivers, something more forgiving is where to focus learning. Someone who’s just beginning to learn how to drive might find the Celica’s sportier handling and lack of visibility a bit much.
Is the Ritz a good first car to buy for new drivers in 2024?

It's a great learner's car! It's easy to drive and park and if you ding it, parts are cheap.
Is the Ritz a good first car to buy for new drivers in 2024?
30 December 2024 10:24
I'd be worried about safety. New cars are much better at protecting you in a crash, and these days ABS and airbags are standard on newer cars.

There’s not bad for a budget option. So just make sure to find a well maintained one.

When I get a newer car I want something with more tech, things like a reverse camera are very helpful for new drivers.

Ritz is ideal for learning. It’s a tall design, which provides great visibility, that builds confidence.

It depends on the budget. If it's between a base model of a new car and a well maintained Ritz, I would go for Ritz.

I began with a Ritz and liked it. For a new driver in 2024, I’d likely want something with a bit more modern safety features than the 2013 Altima offers.
