While it would seem unfair to compare the little Toyota Vitz to a grand luxury car, a look at its features can show that it can compete in the car-buying arena. The Vitz is Toyota’s line of three- and five-door subcompact hatchbacks, and has been in the automotive market since 1998. In other countries outside Japan it’s known as the Yaris and the Echo. The Vitz has many advantages over a luxury car, especially if you’re looking for a vehicle that is compact, reliable, easy to maintain, and versatile despite its small size. Why should you choose the Vitz over a luxury model? Here are the top reasons! Functional all around The Vitz is one model you can drive around the city and the highway without fuss. Its shape—that of a hatchback—makes it sporty and really interesting to look at. Not only that, the exterior features have been designed to make the car highly aerodynamic, which effectively reduces drag and therefore makes it easy for the engine to make the car go faster without using up a lot of fuel. There are many body colors to choose from and you will surely find one that fits your unique personality. Without being considered a luxury car, the Vitz nevertheless offers supreme comfort—there are soft padding covers to give for passengers’ relaxation even during the bumpiest of rides. Inside the small car is an astonishing amount of storage space, a nice surprise perfect for that long trip out of town. Small but powerful engine The biggest engine in the Toyota Vitz line is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. While it sounds small, it fits the car perfectly and it also means that fuel consumption is low. For a small engine it performs well—it’s a Toyota anyway—and even the smallest in the lineup, a 1.0-liter engine, exceeds expectations by being highly reliable and powerful. Because it consumes less fuel, it also has low emissions. If you buy a Vitz, the environment will thank you for it! Advanced safety features In 2009, the Vitz was given a new set of safety features, which included front seat-mounted airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, and anti-lock brakes. More safety equipment was added the following year: Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution. The Toyota Vitz is the first car in the world to sport UV-reducing glass that effectively protects passengers from the harsh ultraviolet rays. By reducing UV light by up to 99%, drivers are kept safe from photoaging, a skin affliction caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Affordability This is hands-down the best reason why the Vitz trumps over any luxury car any day. It not only is affordable car-wise but maintenance-wise as well. As a Toyota it is easy to condition, is reliable, and the replacement parts are easily obtained if needed. You will certainly have no problem having a Vitz in your possession—in contrast, having a luxury car such as a Jaguar may give you not a few headaches. For one thing Jaguar has been rated least reliable by consumers—can you imagine yourself having a Jaguar break down on you in the middle of the highway? There are no qualified Jaguar mechanics in the vicinity and of course, there are also no replacement parts in the hardware stores. Tough luck, but this kind of thing isn’t likely to happen if you’re driving a Toyota Vitz. So, would you rather have a reliable car or not?
