With me now working in Nicosia and Maxim’s school year about to start, the need for a second car has emerged. Â We’ve been planning it for a while any way, it’s just that the priority of it raised recently. Â Our Mitsubishi Galant is more than 13 years old now, and while it works fine, it’s probably not the best idea to push it into daily 160+ kilometers journey mode.
So, with that in mind, we bought a second car. Â Olga picked it up on Friday and I’ll be using that for my daily travels instead. Â The new car is a Suzuki Splash, which is very similar to Suzuki Swift, but in a different body. Â Here is how it looks:
… and a bit of the front and back:
I’ve been taking it for a spin during the weekend, and I have to say that I am rather surprised as to how comfortable this car is. Â It’s a bit slower to accelerate (1.2L engine and automatic gearbox versus 1.8L and manual gearbox of the Mitsubishi Galant), but once it gets going, it’s very stable. Â I also expect it to need much less petrol, which is a definite plus for my daily trips to and from Nicosia.
Hopefully, it will last us as much as the Galant did.
