My main reason is that it was the cheapest thing I can find that comes with a safety. Most hondas and Toyotas of the same year are double the price without a safety.
What is a "safety"?
There's a reason the Hondas and toyotas are double.
Safety is having to pass a multipoint check in this province to be able to be registered.

Look at the Korean makes. As good or better than the Japanese, but they don't have the premium the Japanese ones do.
And just because it has a safety doesn't mean it doesn't need work. It just means it's road worthy at the moment. Especially at that price.
