How to choose a car ？

Because it is an expensive purchase, choosing a car can be troublesome, and you may want to hear people's opinions. Therefore, this time, we asked car professionals who come into contact with cars every day what kind of car they choose under what conditions, and asked people in the automotive media industry to choose "three conditions for choosing a car" and "a car you actually want". We hope it will be helpful for you to choose a car!

This is non-negotiable! 3 conditions for choosing a car

As a popular car writer, Mr. Kudo is active in a variety of fields, from automotive media to YouTube. From family cars to sports cars, there are many fans who talk about cars with a lot of love. I asked Mr. Kudo about the conditions for choosing his favorite car!

Condition (1) Aesthetic appearance

You may be angry that you are looking at it, but it can't be helped because it's instinctive for both men and women to be attracted to beautiful things. I wonder if there is anyone in this world who doesn't like beautiful things. The feeling of "I want this car because it's beautiful" is not a logic, but an instinct. There is no need to reason or explain to instinct. That's all from the field.

Condition (2) Pleasant handling

If you're going to drive a car anyway, it's better to have a fun car than not to have fun, right? A fun car just to slowly turn around the intersection normally...... What is the ideal? As for how much I value the fun of handling when choosing my own car, I chose "Premacy", which can talk about handling even when choosing a minivan.

Condition (3) Sexy interior

Let's be clear here. I spend more time looking at the interior than looking at the styling. If so, it is better to have sex appeal in the interior. Some people may say, "That's luxurious!", but what's wrong with choosing a car is luxurious (laughs)

I chose Mazda ICONIC SP

Retractable headlights, gullwing doors, and overall proportions are beautiful. Mazda's ICONIC SP is love at first sight the moment you see it. The problem is that it is not a commercial car, but a concept car, so it cannot be purchased. It is a construction with a view to commercialization, but considering Mazda's business situation, it seems to be tough now (tears).
