    For many people, buying a car is one of the most important decisions they make in their lifetime. But with so many options to choose from, it can be challenging to figure out what type of vehicle will best suit your needs. 

    Whether you’re looking for something fuel-efficient or spacious enough for your family, there are plenty of cars on the market today that will fit your lifestyle and budget. 

    Here are the most critical things you need to know before buying your first car.

    Determine Your Budget

    Before you even start looking at cars, you need to figure out how much money you can afford to spend. Don’t forget to factor in insurance and registration costs, as well as regular maintenance and repairs. It’s important to stay within your budget so that you don’t end up overspending on a car that you can’t afford to maintain. 

    You can compare car insurance quotes from different companies and determine what works best for you. All these additional fees should add up. 

    Choose the Right Type of Car

    There are various car types to choose from, so it’s important to select one that will best suit your needs. If you need a vehicle that’s fuel-efficient, consider buying a hybrid or electric car. If you have a family, you may want to buy a larger car with more seating. If you commute a lot, a vehicle that gets good gas mileage is a must for you. 

    Whatever your needs may be, there’s a perfect car out there for you.

    Decide on the Options that are Most Important to You

    Once you know what type of car you want, it’s time to start thinking about the most important features to you. Do you need a sunroof? Bluetooth capabilities? All-wheel drive? 

    Consider all of your wants and needs before making your final decision. It’s important to prioritize the most important features to you so that you don’t end up with a car that’s missing the necessities.

    Test Drive Different Cars

    Testing your car is crucial so you can know how it feels. When you test drive a car, make sure to take it on different roads and terrain. You’ll also want to see how the car handles in different situations, such as during high speeds or when braking suddenly. 

    It’s important to be comfortable with the car you’re buying, so make sure to take your time when test driving different models.

    Buy from a Reputable Dealer

    When buying your first car, it’s important to buy from a reputable dealer. A good dealer will work with you to find the perfect vehicle for your needs and budget, and they’ll be there to help you with any questions or problems you may have down the road. Buying from a reputable dealer will give you the peace of mind that you’re getting your money’s worth. 

    Buy New or Used

    Decide whether you want to buy a new or used car. New cars have a lot of perks, such as lower prices and less wear and tear, but they come with a much higher price tag. 

    If you decide to buy a used car, make sure to do your research to ensure you’re getting a good deal. Buying a used car can be a great way to save money, but it’s important to be aware of the risks involved.

    Conclusion

    Buying your first car can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. If you know what to look for and what to expect, you’ll be able to find the perfect car for your needs. 

    By following these tips, you’ll be able to make an informed decision and get behind the wheel of your dream car in no time.

    • 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.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • 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.
