Are you about to make a costly mistake on a UK used car forecourt?

Meanwhile, some of the most reliable, over-engineered Japanese cars on the market sit completely ignored on AutoTrader and dealer lots across the UK.
In this video, we break down 6 cheap Japanese cars UK buyers overlook that offer bulletproof reliability, naturally aspirated durability, and massive value for money. Plus, stick around until the end for a luxury bonus pick that gives you executive comfort for the price of a tired hatchback!

Next month, I'm taking delivery of a new daily driver in the form of a brand new Toyota C-HR Icon. This is an incredibly excellent car, with every feature you could possibly need, but nothing you don't.
I could have bought a 1st generation used example for not much money, but I decided it was time to treat myself.
Excellent review, made a lot of good sense.
*Here in France, the prices for these cars are much higher🤑📈🚀 as more and more motorists are aware of the qualities that these cars offer.
Bonne continuation,

Or toyotaurrrr. Fair play to you. You pronounce them properly
I did however go for a mk8 Accord tourer with the 2.4I vtec engine with a clean mot history and 11 Honda factory stamps and it’s solid as a rock 👌
I made the mistake once of buying a focus ecoBOOM as a cheap stop gap……never again!
