The Impulse Buy
I have two buts. I live alone in a rented apartment because I have a cat and a former family member living in the apartment I own. After my divorce, I returned to motorcycles, got hooked, and used car sharing for my car because there was no room in the parking lot of my apartment.
Then one day, "What? There's no car in the nearest parking space, right? So I called the real estate agent.
Is the parking lot next door available? I asked him if he had a parking space next door, and he said he did, so I decided to rent it as soon as possible. I was able to get a parking space before the car. At the time, I had enough money in my Ninja 1000 savings account to buy a used bike. So I went to a used car shop.
He bought a 2012 model with 22,000km on the odometer. Seriously, I went to the store, took a quick look at this, FIAT500, Alfaromeo Mito, and Audi A1, and said "I'll buy this" within 30 minutes of my arrival.
Volkswagen Cross Polo
So from here on, it's a six-wheel system.
Although the mileage was low, the car was 7 years old at the time of purchase, and we welcomed it with a 2-year inspection, as if it had been given away before the third inspection.
This is my first time to own a compact car. I'm divorced, and I drive alone most of the time, so I thought this size would be fine, and that's why I chose it.
The rigidity of the body is such that it would be rude to compare it to a Japanese B-segment car, and the ride quality is on par with the Mazda Atenza that I used to drive. The ride quality is on par with the Mazda Atenza I used to drive.
The engine is a 1.2 liter downsizing turbo, but I like cars that allow me to push the gas pedal to the floor, so I don't have any problem with it, and the torque comes from low rpm, so I don't feel slow at all. I don't feel slow at all because of the torque from low rpm.
Even the interior is orange. The interior is also orange.
The previous owner was a woman (I recognized her by the name of her iPhone registered in the navigation system via Bluetooth), and she probably used it as a second car for shopping. Only the hazard buttons were shiny. The only thing that was shiny was the hazard buttons, and I guessed that the owner used a lot of hand cream. The steering wheel was also shiny.
But I sprayed some parts cleaner on a tissue and wiped it off, and it was all clean.
I've been driving it with no trouble at all, except for one time when the EPC (engine computer related) warning light came on and the engine rattled and vibrated. It was a fire in the second cylinder, but the dealer upgraded the ECU to solve the problem. It's really a good car.
A missile hit us from behind on the interstate.If it hadn't flown in, I'd still be on it... Seriously, I recommend it... I think I may buy one more. This was an early model, so the next one will be a late model....
