As someone who drives to work daily, I find that Toyota parallel import vehicles offer quite a variety of options. For example, there are large vans like the Hiace, which are spacious and practical, especially suitable for hauling goods or family trips. There's also the Alphard MPV, with its luxurious interior and high comfort level, making it a popular choice for business use. The advantage of parallel imports lies in their typically lower prices compared to 4S dealerships, along with a wider selection of models, such as the Middle East version of the Land Cruiser, known for its robust performance in tough terrains. However, I must remind everyone that when choosing a car, I made sure to verify the authenticity of the vehicle sources and the compliance of the steering wheel conversion procedures with the dealers to avoid issues like failing to get the car registered later. Overall, parallel imports provide more flexible choices, and I recommend them to friends with limited budgets who are looking for special models—just be sure to find a reliable importer to ensure safety.

I've been a car enthusiast since childhood, and I'm particularly fascinated by Toyota parallel imports! They can get models unavailable through official channels, like the GR Yaris hot hatch, whose roaring engine is incredibly thrilling; or the right-hand-drive HiAce exclusive to Japan, which looks super cool when converted into a camper van. The advantage of parallel imports is their affordable prices and rare, unique styles. I'm saving up for an old Supra myself. However, I always recommend test-driving before buying, checking parts compatibility and emission standards—don't overlook maintenance for the sake of novelty. This channel offers more freedom in car culture, allowing us to explore global classics.

From a cost-saving perspective, I've carefully compared Toyota parallel imported vehicles. For example, the Alphard is shockingly expensive domestically, while parallel imports can save a significant amount of money, especially when choosing models from the Middle East or Japan. The downside is the lack of after-sales service. I've consulted with dealers myself – you'll have to pay out of pocket for maintenance and repairs, and parts are hard to find. Parallel imports are suitable for budget-conscious friends, but make sure to check the post-tax costs thoroughly. Don't just focus on the low price while ignoring the risks.

Do Cars Need to Warm Up Before Starting?

Yes, cars need to warm up before starting. After being parked for a long time, most of the engine oil inside the car flows back to the oil pan. When starting a cold engine, the oil cannot immediately reach the surfaces of all components to form an effective oil film. If you start driving right away, it will increase engine wear. Before the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to low temperature (liquid vaporizes when it reaches its boiling point). The ideal operating temperature for an engine is between 80 and 90 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the gaps between engine components are optimal, the lubricating oil flows better, and the engine operates with higher efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and greater power output.
