    Which car should I buy?

    What hatchback should I buy?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 6 June 2019

    Most small hatchbacks have similar width footwells, so I would suggest you try the most popular ones, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, Kia Rio etc. to find the one that’s best for you.

     

    Toyota Corolla 2010: Paint peeling off
    Answered by Graham Smith · 30 May 2019

    It is a common problem with the waterborne paints that are used today. The only solution is to repaint the affected panels. You could talk to Toyota (1800 869 682).

    Toyota Corolla 2019: Which engine should we choose?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 March 2019

    The 2.0-litre engine would be the better choice for your longer trips where the petrol engine would play a greater role than it will in local driving. If you go for the 1.8-litre you would lose a little performance on those trips, but it would be the better choice for use around town.

    Do you recommend buying a Toyota Corolla?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 28 February 2019

    The Corolla is a safe bet for anyone when recommending a car to buy. It has a good reputation for reliability, and its resale is always good. The best one to buy is the latest one that fits within your budget. Another to consider is the Mazda3.

    The Mazda3 and Holden Astra are both good alternative choices, but you could also consider a Toyota Corolla or Kia Rio or Cerato.
