Toyota HIACE VAN

I was very excited about getting this Van, but the buying process gave me some hard moments. I felt frustrated when things did not go as quickly as I expected. The car was also reached in rough condition.

Toyota HIACE VAN

I needed a good van, so I went with this Toyota Hiace. It has plenty of space and looks strong enough for my daily needs. My experience with SAT Japan was not satisfactory. They need to work on their communication.

Toyota COROLLA AXIO

Really clean Axio. Comfortable, quiet and AC works very well. I have driven it around quite a lot already and no problem so far. SAT Japan made the buying part easier than I expected. Would definitely consider another car from them later.

Been using it for work almost every day. Starts, drives, carries my stuff and doesn't drink too much fuel. Shipping took a little longer than I expected but SAT Japan did update me when I contacted them. Car itself is good.

Toyota SIENTA

This was my first purchase with SAT Japan and I was nervous in beginning, especially waiting for the car to arrive. They replied whenever I asked something and eventually everything worked out. I'm happy with this purchase.

Toyota PROBOX VAN

Good car for daily use. Nothing fancy but fuel is cheap and it runs well. Had one small mark inside but I don't care much about that. SAT Japan documents came without any issue.
