The automotive market is bright and bustling with activity, especially in countries like South Africa. It’s important to know what’s in and what’s out, and what’s hot and what’s not, especially if you’re thinking of buying Japan used cars in South Africa. Pre-owned cars are without a doubt more affordable than their brand-new counterparts but they perform just as excellently. If you don’t have a model in mind yet, consider these models that have made it to South Africa’s list of February 2013 bestsellers. Toyota Hilux – The Hilux takes the top spot in South Africa’s vehicle sales, which shows it remains a favorite truck model. It has a reputation for reliability and sturdiness which earned for it the nickname “The Indestructible Truck.” If you are looking for a tough vehicle that can withstand heavy use, the Hilux is the best choice. Toyota Corolla/Auris – This hatchback is the successor of the RunX in South Africa. The Auris has a five-star cabin protection rating from the European New car Assessment Programme. The new model release was launched in August 2012. Toyota Fortuner – This medium-sized SUV’s predecessor is the Hilux Surf and has undergone a facelift for the 2012 model year. The new release is now a bit longer but lower than the previous mode. The new look comes with a redesigned grill, bumper, headlamps, tail lamps, and wheels. Nissan Micra (March) – One of the bestselling Japanese used cars in South Africa in the supermini class is Nissan’s Micra, or March as it is known in Asia and Latin America. It is interesting that the Micra has been an active participant in motorsports—in fact, there was a European “Micra Challenge” in which the 1.3-L engine Micras went on rallies. In Japan there is a March Cup—imagine how cute the races are. Nissan Juke – The Juke is no joke when it comes to being a powerful mini SUV. Its front-engine, front-wheel drive / four-wheel drive layout can surely compete with others in its class, and it’s no wonder that it is fast becoming a favorite of South Africans. Its unconventional, funky styling makes it all the more unique. Nissan Qashqai – This interestingly-named model is also known as the Dualis in Japan. A compact crossover, the five-door model is named after the semi-nomadic tribe that lives in the mountainous area of Southwestern Iran. It is available from sellers of Japanese used cars in South Africa as a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic with CVT. Toyota Yaris – Also known as the Vitz, the Yaris is a line of three- and five-door hatchbacks that has been praised for its fuel economy and vehicle safety. The Yaris may be small but it is surprisingly roomy in the cabin, making it a practical purchase not only for active individuals but for a small family as well. Other bestselling models in South Africa are the Honda Jazz (Fit), Nissan Navara, Nissan Tiida (Versa), Toyota Land Cruiser, Honda Civic, and Honda CR-V, among other domestic models. The vehicles in this list are all available from many exporters of Japanese used cars in South Africa, who can give you good deals on secondhand cars. Indeed, why buy new when you can have the reliability and quality of pre-owned?
