For the past
years I have been driving a Fiat Punto my aunt Marta gave to me. It was a
present and it has been one of the best I ever had. For me that I don’t really
mind about cars, it was great. It took me everywhere –we even went to the
Basque Country and Cantabria one summer- and it was easy to drive and to park.
My Ferrari,
as our friend Miriam named, only had two big faults: not air conditioning and
when you passed 100 km/h it was hard to keep it going. However, for me, that I
used to go to work and short trips it was great.
Maybe it
had another fault: it was too old. Actually, this summer it celebrated its 20th
birthday and that meant a few visits to be repaired every year and money spent
on fixing things.
For all
these reasons we decided to start looking for a new car. We understood it was
the best solution. We knew it meant a lot of money, but now we can afford it
and we thought that it was the best moment to do it.
We made our
decision in one day. We spent a Saturday looking around different cars and, in
the end, we chose a Seal Altea XL. Of
course, as you can imagine, nothing to see with our Fiat Punto.
This car is
easily driven; it is much bigger and has so many options that I haven’t been
able to discover them as yet. It was very sad to get rid of our Fiat Punto but
we didn’t really have any other option.
