    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.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
