Oh, that "new car" smell ... of warm plastic. :-)
Seriously, the fact that you can just jump in it and drive around leaving the headache of "what's that knocking/scraping/squeeking/chattering sound?" and having somebody else lie on the floor underneath it instead of me. Four years of not having any MOT to worry about. Details! Like the rubbers in the door shuts looking brand new and not producing a waterfall every time the door is opened. Freedom from that worry about the wiring gaters starting to fray. Non-oily door hinges. Foot pedals which have rubbers still on! Scratch free upholstery. No moss growing on the window rubbers. No mould in the repeater lamps. No used parking tickets stuck down beneath the windscreen impossibly difficult to retrieve. A rear screen you can actually see out of without having to use that bloody wiper. Funny how rear screens never needed wiping until somebody decided to wipe them. See how the water bobbles on the swept area, notice it doesn't do this on the unswept area. Drive around backwards much? The warranty on new cars strikes me as very appealing. I mean, 100,000 miles! They knew what they were doing when they decided to cripple the second-hand car market. I doubt it'll ever be within my economic reach, but I can fully understand why somebody would buy a new car. And good for them. Last edited by canis; Jan 19th, 2018 at 04:10. |
