KARTer 2nd Gear April 6, 2012 Share April 6, 2012 Driving schools use certain models in their fleets. Does it mean that these are modes suitable as value-for-money, no-frills, tough-as-rock choice for buyers who want to buy a new/used reliable and low maintenance car? There must be some reasons similar to above why they are chosen by driving schools. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicolor 5th Gear April 6, 2012 Share April 6, 2012 There was a period Nissan sunny is hot with private instructor, slowly the trend moves to lancer GLX and now vios is hot for private instructor. I ever see a private instructor use a lancer ex 2.0 and a wrx. You sure it was a WRX? I remember seeing one like that used as a learner's car, with bodykit and WRX bonnet scoop, but closer inspection revealed it was a normal Impreza TS. Not sure if this is the same as the one you saw.

I ever see a private instructor use a lancer ex 2.0 and a wrx. Sunny and Lancer are still hot among private instructors. Vios command a higher premium and with the COE at an all time high, the trend is going back to Lancer and Sunny. Private instructors change car every few years. If you noticed, most of them are getting 2nd hand cars now. I ever saw a Lancer EX 2.0 used as a learner car. Number plate is 5588 if I'm not wrong.

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear April 6, 2012 Share April 6, 2012 (edited) Driving schools use certain models in their fleets. Does it mean that these are modes suitable as value-for-money, no-frills, tough-as-rock choice for buyers who want to buy a new/used reliable and low maintenance car? There must be some reasons similar to above why they are chosen by driving schools. There are specific reasons for the brand/models they use. Was told about 75% of Defenders sold still on the roads daily. Some reasons may have certain priority over others for the Driving School. Example: H.... still highest acc..... statistic brand all these years, from what I read. Edited April 6, 2012 by Good-Carbuyer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
