    Truck or Car: Which One Should You Buy?

    For people who have a long job commute, a car can be an essential tool in their arsenal. Cars offer great transportation convenience to individuals who are always on the move. The numerous makes and models on the market ensure all preferences and budgets are catered to. Unfortunately, not everyone goes to the showroom knowing exactly what to buy. Most buyers will be torn between choices; Some won’t know whether to purchase a car or a truck. Read on to learn more about both of these options.

    Why you should buy a car

    When it comes to vehicle types, cars arguably have the widest spectrum of options. There are sedans, sports-coupes, convertibles, supercars, and hybrids, all with different price ranges and sporting special features. That said, all cars have certain features that set them apart from (and perhaps give them the edge on) trucks, depending on what the driver wants. Here are some of the benefits of owning a car:

    • Ease of use: Most city roads are built for cars, not trucks. Their compact nature and low ground clearance in particular make them easy to handle on heavy-traffic roads.
    • Lower risk of an accident: Larger vehicles naturally have a higher chance of being involved in accidents than cars. Their damages and injuries are also more severe, which is why semi-truck compensation claims are relatively complicated according to this resource from Burch Law Firm. Pickup trucks may not be as hazardous on the road as cargo trucks, but they are certainly more accident-prone than cars.
    • Fuel economy: Cars consume less fuel than trucks due to their smaller engines.
    • Affordability: Some cars may be more expensive to purchase and maintain than trucks, but on average, cars are cheaper.
    • Privacy: Cars provide more privacy and security for the owner and their belongings. Trucks expose luggage to thieves and weather elements, putting you at an increased risk for loss.

    Why you should buy a truck

    Conversely, here are some of the benefits that may make you consider a truck over a car:

    • Engine power: Trucks have more powerful engines than cars, making them more suitable for off-road trips and heavy luggage transportation.
    • Versatility: You can drive your truck to work and, on weekends, to your farm or a remote campsite or lake for fishing. If you are going to use your vehicle for activities other than maneuvering city streets, then a truck would prove more useful.
    • Storage bed: The storage bed at the back of a truck serves the same purpose as a sedan or SUV’s trunk, but it is better suited for storing heavy objects.
    • Durability: Trucks are built for off-road drives and are fitted with studier bodies that can sustain less damage in accidents.

    Conclusion

    It is impossible to conclude which vehicle is better without considering the driver’s needs. If you prioritize convenience, ease of usage, variety, fuel economy, privacy, and price, you may opt to get a car. But if you are eyeing versatility and those off-road capabilities, then a truck will give you better value for your money.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
