I am Car Wala

People say,”First of any kind is eternal.” Even though I possessed a car, albeit second-hand, earlier, I never felt that first ilk of feeling. But now, having bought a new car, I am experiencing what it means to be. It is a sense of possession and achievement.

Ford Figo-the name goes like this. The best way to describe it would be compact, organized and balanced. I too was moved by its completeness. It has practically every facility, viz. big sitting and boot space, 1.4 litres diesel engine, power windows, central keyless locking, music system, AC etc in its standard ZXi model. Quality and looks wise too, it is pretty, if not as classy as other brands.

Only drawback so far seems to be the big revving engine noise, but I guess that comes with the diesel engine trade-off. Also, its gearbox is not as smooth as expected. Overall though, I am satisfied.

Buying car, on an added tone, has invigorated my interest in cars. Earlier I could hardly feel an impulse to analyze a car. But now, each passing car is an object of study and comparison; a new car launch is an event; car features are matters of discussion. This is a new dimension of my knowledge now. Happy driving indeed, I can say …
