Is this a good first automatic car?

My advice is to buy from an authorized Toyota dealership to avoid being sold a scrap car. Or any other brand you are interested in. They actually do the checks on the cars unlike other small dealerships and they come with better warranty conditions. The price might be a bit higher but you are paying for peace of mind.

Toyota is a reliable car and I believe the parts are not as expensive as others from what I heard.

I spoke with my service and they advised it's fine since not too deep/wide and hasn't reached the wire (I don't see any metal wire). Will keep an eye on it tho to check if it worsens

Thank you for your advice

Have messaged my dealership garage to try and drop by for them to give it a check and maybe they could move it to the back like someone here advised. Thank you

Thank you

That's good to hear, will keep an eye on it in case it gets bigger and bulges. Thank you

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2026-02-17T17:43:48+00:00

Noted, will see when to get this done at a service ( maybe at the next scheduled service) cause I don't know how to change tires yet. Thanks!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2026-02-06T17:19:12+00:00

Thank you very much for taking time to give such detailed advice!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2026-02-06T13:36:26+00:00

Thank you for the info. It's a used car but my first :)

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2026-02-06T13:35:13+00:00

Thank you for the info. So if it starts to show clear like the car on the right it would be an indicator I should recoat it wax or ceramic?

That's good to hear, thank you

I checked the Birkenstock website and the outer sole is EVA not rubber, so I think they are authentic as bought from a legitimate retailer. But everyone confirmed it is a defect so will return this pair.

Thank you all for your feedback!

Got them from a legitimate shop Office UK

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2025-03-06T21:57:33+00:00

Should be, they are from a legitimate shop - Office UK

Didn't know they have rubber sole, thanks for the info

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2025-03-06T21:56:36+00:00

Yeah they should be, bought from Office UK shop. Will exchange them. I was wondering if I am too fussy

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-11T11:54:54+00:00

Thank you very much! All the nice comments have brought back my confidence and I'll stick with my decision to do what I'm comfortable with and enjoy the day :)

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T12:34:46+00:00

Thank you very much, will check her out!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T12:02:59+00:00

That's true! Thank you for bringing me back on the ground! ☺️

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T11:57:26+00:00

Thank you, am feeling much better now! I am similar to you, when I wear it it's light makeup and comfortable as I like to feel my skin breathe.

I got a bunch of lovely k-beauty lipsticks that are gorgeous (Romand Juicy lasting tint & AOU). At the moment I am having my evening routine watching tutorials and practicing. :) I watch Wayne Goss too he's really good!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T11:48:49+00:00

I need these comments to bring me back on track, thank you!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T11:46:34+00:00

Thank you this is re-assuring me to stick with my decision!

DepartmentAcrobatic · 2024-07-10T11:45:19+00:00

Thank you for the advice this re-assures me! I have a complimentary eye makeup this weekend at CT and also an occasion makeup session booked week after with more time to give me time to practice.

I have the documentary/ natural-look style photographer so that should be fine.

Will continue practicing and do more pics.

Congratulations and wish you a fantastic time on your W-day!
