Following my visit to the Proton car showroom yesterday I proceeded to book the very humble 1300 cc new Saga today. Well it was either this new car or a "bigger" - 1500 cc & above used car. Susan liked the white model, Nic the red and I preferred the black car but as we eventually opted for the SE version - it only came in red and white. So we chose red (see pic).
I figured a new car came with a 3-year warranty and should be hassle-free (fingers and toes crossed) for a bit while a used car would be a lottery of sorts, at best. I will have to adjust my driving habits to a smaller vehicle then not that my lemon (it has served us well) was that big. The Saga was not a hard decision as the only other car we can afford is the Myvi and I did not quite like hatchbacks to be that short (Saga is 20 inches longer) and stout-looking.
Then there is Susan reminding me to take better care of the forthcoming car as those of you who know me - I am terrible when it comes to caring for cars. To me a car is just a means to get me from point A to point B.
