Toyota WISH

I bought this vehicle mainly because I needed more luggage space, and it has fulfilled that purpose very well. But I am not fully satisfied. The engine sound very loud sometimes. Thank God SAT Japan provided after sale service. Even after shipping, they continued answering my questions until I received the vehicle. The paint is not in good condition.

Suzuki ALTO

This Suzuki Alto is perfect for city driving because it is compact and very economical on fuel. I liked that SAT Japan never rushed me during the buying process and always replied politely whenever I asked for more information. The vehicle reached me in good condition, with only a small fade on one plastic interior panel, which is expected on a used car. Mechanically everything feels excellent, and the engine runs quietly. I am satisfied with my purchase and happy from the honest service from SAT Japan.
