Tips for Choosing a Cheap and Economical Car

Tips for Choosing a Cheap and Economical Car - Today, consumers are increasingly spoiled with the many variants of private vehicles that can be tailored to their needs. For example, an MPV type car that is very suitable for families or sedan cars for personal use.

However, the problem is the price of the car itself. Yes, not all consumers can afford to buy a car from an expensive manufacturer because maintenance for this car is expensive. No wonder that most consumers turn to cheap and economical cars to save money.

Planning to buy a car in the near future? Here are tips on choosing cheap and economical cars that can be applied.

1. Determine the vehicle manufacturer

Vehicle Manufacturer

Car manufacturers vary, ranging from the upper, middle, and lower classes. Hence it is important to determine which factory produces the car because this is quite influential on the price of the car itself.

Between Japanese and European manufacturers, for example, cars produced in Europe are obviously more expensive because the standardization is already different. No tax has been added to Indonesia.

Determining the vehicle manufacturer will make it easier for you to prepare the right budget. As a result, the car can immediately park in front of the house in the near future.

2. Pay attention to the needs

Pay Attention to the need

Next, look at the need. Who will use the car? If it is used for families, then MPV type cars are the right choice.

Another case if for personal use, MPV cars are certainly greatness. Unless in the near future you plan to get married, it's a good fit.

By paying attention to the needs, the purchase becomes more appropriate. Cars can provide effective benefits for those who use them. 

3. Pay attention to the specifications of the car

Pay attention to the specifications of the car

The name of the layman, certainly do not know about the specifications of the car. Especially looking at the many types and brands of cars now. It's good to find out the specifications of the car in detail and complete through the internet and social media.

Given the many and different sources of information, it is important to compare between one source and another. The goal is to avoid misinformation that can harm you.

If this is your first time buying a car, you should ask for the advice of friends who have already bought a car. So, the purchase is absolutely appropriate. 

4. Consider driving comfort

Consider Driving Comfort

The choice of cheap and economical cars is a lot, but the problem is whether the car is comfortable to drive? Because the comfort level of each driver is different from each other. You may prefer to drive a car with a soft seat, but other drivers can be comfortable with the usual type of seat.

It's a good idea to do a test drive to find out the level of driving comfort. Just 10-15 minutes taken around, you can tell if the car is right or not.

If it is not right, you can look for another type of car and return to test drive. With a note, the price of the car remains adjusted the same budget, yes.

5. Equipped with various features

Equipped with various features

The name buys something, especially one that is quite expensive, you must consider its features. Right, right? Just like a car, you also have to find out what features are embedded in the car before buying it.

Make sure the car is equipped with safety features, such as dual SRS airbags, auto locks, well-functioning seat belts, brakes, and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) features.

In addition, consider the entertainment features on the car. This feature is important for those of you who often travel long distances, so the trip still feels fun.

6. Save fuel

Save fuel

Fuel is one that must be considered when buying a car. It makes sense because a car that wastes fuel can add to monthly expenses. The budget that was Rp 500,000 for gasoline, instead changed to Rp 750,000.

Therefore, check what type of engine is pinned on the car. The more reliable the engine, usually the more wasteful the fuel.

But, there are also some reliable engined vehicles that are fuel efficient. This is what can be used as an option, so that fuel consumption remains economical even though the car is often used.

7. Avoid purchasing on credit

Avoid purchasing on credit

Buying a car on credit at first glance looks cheap because the money spent is less than buying cash. But, know that your expenses are actually getting bigger if you buy a car by way of credit. Because, this purchase will be charged interest in a certain percentage.

On the other hand, the car also experiences shrinkage every year which makes the price decrease over time.

Buy a car in cash to avoid interest expense, as well as bad credit. It's better to wait so you can buy cash than to rush, but debt.

Buy a Car Not because of Prestige

That's tips on choosing a cheap and economical car. Buy a car because you need it to support daily activities and mobilization, so it's not solely because of prestige. It takes careful consideration because the price of the car is not cheap.

Lexus LX600 2022: Flagship SUV That Can Go Anywhere

Lexus LX600 2022-  After Toyota launched the latest generation Land Cruiser earlier this year, you must be wondering when Lexus will update its LX series models. However, Lexus is finally launching the latest generation of the Lexus LX series after 14 years. Lexus is holding the world premiere of the new Lexus LX in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and its video reveal online. The new Lexus LX embodies Lexus' commitment to meeting the needs and lifestyles of diverse consumers. The Lexus LX is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in early 2022.

Lexus LX600 2022

Exterior and Interior Details

Branded the "ultimate sport-utility flagship", the LX 2022 features an evolutionary design with a prominent spindle grille consisting of seven floating bars with a hollow center for engine cooling. Designers also give larger air intakes and slimmer headlights. Do not forget there are daytime running lights with a three-dimensional design. Behind the sculpted hood, the A-pillar has been pulled backwards to create a more backward cabin design. This model also features a sleek body design, which contrasts with the more prominent wheel arch and is supported by 18, 20, or 22-inch alloy wheels.

Lexus LX600

On the back, the traditional "L" logo has been replaced with the letter "Lexus" as in the 2022 NX. We can also see connected taillights and new bumpers. Lexus did not release detail dimensions, but said the model maintains a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. It will likely limit interior space, but according to Carscoops, Lexus notes this figure has remained consistent since the first-generation LX was introduced in 1995. While the exterior is evolutionary, the same can also be found in its interior as it adopts a more modern design.

We can see premium leather, wood trim and metallic accents in the interior. There is also a digital instrument cluster and a premium Mark Levinson 25-speaker audio system available. The biggest change is Lexus' all-new interface system, as in the 2022 NX. However, it is not immediately available because the SUV has two different screens measuring 7 and 12.3 inches. Larger screens are focused on displaying navigation, camera display and audio settings, while smaller screens relate to climate control systems and information displays. Lexus said, "Displaying camera images on the top screen can simultaneously display the status of real-time vehicles on the bottom screen, allowing drivers to monitor driving conditions off the highway more safely without switching views."

Diverse Types of Options

Although Lexus did not elaborate on many specifics, the company confirmed that the 2022 LX 600 will be offered in Standard, Premium, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and F Sport variants. Starting with the F Sport, the model is distinguished by a mesh grille with black chrome surround as well as exclusive 22-inch forged alloy wheels. This type of F Sport also features sport seats and textured leather on the steering wheel for better grip. The changes aren't just accessories, as the F Sport features a uniquely tuned damper as well as a revised adaptive variable suspension and electric power steering system. They joined Torsen's exclusive slip differential to improve performance.

Lexus LX600 2022

While the Ultra Luxury type is more towards luxury because it has two individual rear seats with curved headrests, seat backrests, and padding that "wraps" the head, hips, and lower body gently for maximum comfort and support. The seat also has a soft urethane to help suppress unwanted movements. The rear seats are separated by a wide console equipped with wireless charging, cup holder, and a large storage box with a DC power supply as well as a USB port and jackheadphone for the infotaiment system in the back seat. Lastly, the Ultra Luxury variant comes with overhead ceiling vents for better cabin cooling.

Under the hood, the 5.7-liter V8 engine has been replaced by a new twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 409 hp and 649 Nm of torque. This means there is an increase of 26 hp and 103 Nm of torque. Lexus also notes the engine maintains its maximum torque to about 3,600 rpm, which improves off-road performance as drivers typically perform off road at low speeds. The engine is connected to a new ten-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous eight-speed gearbox and features a low first gear for a smooth start and strong low-speed off-road driving performance. However, that's because it has two extra gears and the tenth keeps engine revs low at high speeds, resulting in quiet driving and more efficient fuel consumption.

Finally, the Lexus LX 2022 is equipped with a Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 safety sense system. Its features are Pre-Collision System with Frontal Collision Warning, enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. It also includes All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist (Lane Centering) and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. Not to forget this latest Lexus LX is also equipped with Intelligent High Beams, Emergency Steering Assist, and Road Sign Assist. Considering the SUV market is also very popular in the country, it is not impossible that Indonesia will also be part of the latest model of the Lexus LX. Moreover, the previous generation was also quite popular, it seemed to be just a matter of time.

Be aware of driving near trucks

 Last weekend viral accident involving Hyundai Palisade SUV and truck that rolled on cipularang km 91 toll road. The incident that took place on Saturday (16/10/2021) caused the body of the car broken, as well as a long traffic jam that snagged on the toll road.

The accident also left one person dead, the driver of the Palisade. The driver is known as Yan Bastian, who is the Director of PT Indomarco Prismatama, the manager of indomaret minimarket network.

In the Hyundai Palisade vehicle there were also seven other passengers who were injured. The accident began with the truck driver who lost control when the road conditions declined and made the truck by then hit the SUV that was nearby.

Safety near the truck

Driving with a large vehicle needs to be aware of the potential dangers that are nearby. Accidents involving large vehicles with small vehicles have often occurred repeatedly.

In addition to the factor of accidents can occur from the ability of the driver who is lacking, the driver's viewing area with the surroundings of the vehicle is also very limited. This makes the driver around a large vehicle need to play an active role in maintaining safety in driving.

One of them knows the blind spot of the big vehicle, mostly trucks. The blind spots of the truck are on the front, rear, left and right sides. Avoid these dangerous points as soon as possible, if you can get away from the truck immediately. First if our vehicle is faster or keep a distance if between the truck and our vehicle has the same speed.

In addition to knowing whether we are inside the blind spot of the truck or not is to look at the reflection on the rearview mirror of the truck. If we can see the truck driver it means we're not in their blind spot.

truck blind spot

You can also use the honking method to notify the truck driver. This is usually done if it is in traffic density so that truck drivers are aware of going around.

In addition, driving near large vehicles such as trucks also needs supervision and patience. Sometimes the truck is maneuvering to change lanes to maintain momentum during inclines or descents, should the driver not risk being too close. Give time for the truck to maneuver afterwards if it is considered safe to pass, immediately skip and stay away.

Finally, make sure the condition of the vehicle is good for trips that require power and safety. Before traveling do not forget to check the vehicle whether it is roadworthy or not.

Reflecting on the case that befell the Hyundai Palisade above, an alert attitude towards the surrounding environment while driving is also needed. Especially on the motorway that shares space with other vehicles that have different dimensions and motion capabilities.

Drivers are required to be careful. This is also not separated from the possibility of accidents because other drivers may not be in a fit condition or their driving ability is reduced due to fatigue. For this reason, high alert is still needed near large vehicles.
