Whilst we recommend all Japanese makes for not only their reliability and affordability but their performance and ease of access to parts, we also think it’s important to know the different makes and how they differentiate themselves from one another.
You all know the classics; the Toyota’s, Honda’s and Nissan’s of this world. But have you ever really considered what benefits they offer and what features are specific to their makes.
Well, wonder no more as we delve into the different Japaneses vehicle manufacturers and what makes them unique.
Toyota
Renown for the quality of their vehicles and the safety they provide, Toyota has become widely known as the most reliable manufacturer on the planet. You’ve probably heard the common saying ‘She’s a Toyota, she’ll go forever!” – an example of their reliable status.
Founded in 1937 they have had their time to get it right and boy have they! They manage to maintain a fresh, innovative approach on car manufacturing that keeps them relevant in the current climate and loyal customers coming back for more. Their latest concept improved safety features further with their AHDA (Automated Highway Driving Assist).
Nissan
Whilst most commonly known for their iconic Skyline range and in particular the beast that is the GTR, Nissan is situated well among the world’s top auto manufacturers.
Founded in 1933, Nissan has made some quality cars in their time with the likes of the Maxima, 350z and Pathfinder being common additions to daily road use. They recently decided to revise most of their models and style all of them in a more modern and appealing manner.
Mazda
As one of the oldest auto manufacturing companies from Japan, Mazda and their success date right back to 1915 when they were first formed.
One of the most globally purchased makes on the planet, Mazda has established themselves as not only reliable and affordable but aesthetic and appealing. Their sports cars are also well regarded with the MX-5 managing to conquer the “world’s best-selling sports car” title.
