What makes a Japanese car different?

Publised : November 21, 2013

People often ask me why i prefer Japanese vehicles over European or American made vehicles; you yourself may be wondering why you should consider buying a Japanese manufactured car.

One of the many reasons to consider what makes a Japanese car different is its reliabililty; most if not all Japanese made vehicles have a very good reputation for being extremly reliable, especially in comparison to equivalent European or American made models.
If you look at Toyota and Ford’s reputations Toyota will come out on top in regard to the reliability of its vehicles every time.

Performance is another reason why Japanese cars are different. Japanese model cars typically perfom much better for a more affordable price through innovative engineering, such as with the MX-5; due to its simplicity of design and suspension set-up it has been voted the best roadster of all time by many reputable sources. When thinking of the worlds mostly highly regarded handling car most people would think of Ferraries or similar high performance cars, and not an inexpensive roadster like the MX-5.

One more example of extreme performance for less money is Nissan’s latest GTR that set a staggering timed lap of 7:08.68 on the Nurburgring in Germany, where it is placed 4th on the all time fastest road production cars, outperforming more expensive cars such as the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR.
