If you’ve owned more than one vehicle in your lifetime, you know that not all are created equal. Whether you want performance, style, or something else, you need a car that speaks to you. Chances are that vehicle is probably a Toyota. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider a Toyota for your next purchase.

1. They Run Forever

While it’s true that a properly maintained vehicle runs longer, few run as long as a Toyota. Estimates shows that up to 80 percent of Toyotas bought 20 years ago are still on the road today. With that kind of track record, you can’t afford not to buy one.

2. A Penchant For Safety

As automakers and consumers put more of a premium on safety, Toyota doesn’t lag behind. Each of their new vehicles has the Toyota Star Safety System, which is a combination of six advanced safety features. In addition, Toyota has the available Toyota Safety Sense package, which offers preventive active safety features. On top of that, six models from Toyota earned the Top Safety Pick Plus honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

3. Resale Value

One of the hardest parts of buying a new car is knowing that it loses 11 percent of its value as soon as you drive it off the lot. However, Toyota cushions the blow by having the best resale value of any manufacturer in the country. It’s not that you’ll want to sell it, but at least you’ll recoup most of your money.

With these reasons, there’s simply no reason not to put Toyota on your new car shortlist. Don’t make the mistake of falling for a gimmick or a trend. Stick with a true winner.
