Which Car To Choose? Travel And Eeveryday Life

Catch The PLANE & get INSANE

Buying a car is not as easy as I thought... 😄

Mi Amor has been looking for the perfect car solution for us for a long time! That perfect one, which would meet all the requirements!

Which car to choose?

What we were looking at during our research:

⬇️

The length of the vehicle - it was very important to us that we could both get some sleep and stretch out, and since we are both quite tall - I am 5'7 (175cm) tall, Adam is 6′3 (191cm) tall, so this requirement was on the top of our list.

Economy - Low fuel consumption! Considering the fact that we avoid highways and always try to choose more landscaped trails, the lowest possible fuel consumption was of great importance.

Appearance - Due to the fact that it was our first car purchase, we wanted it to be as practical as possible, not only for travel, but also for a business meeting.

Uniqueness - Neither of us likes cars that can be seen on every corner. We wanted our future vehicle to be one of a view of the area. Of course, it's hard to choose a one-of-a-kind car, but Mi Amor did it quite well!

4WD - Initially it was the most important aspect, so that we could travel off-road, but over time we came to the conclusion that in places hard to reach, we'll get by bike, walk or scooter.

Year - my opinion is - the older the better -but fortunately Adam knows more and made sure that the year was at least 2010+...

Clear view - I mean a large window that facilitates visibility. We had the opportunity to go on a trip with Toyota, which had a small window, thick joints on the sides and driving really lost its charm, not to mention it was dangerous...

🔎

We managed to find all these requirements in the Peugeot 5008.

Except for one - 4WD...

Quite an important aspect, but I admit that we actually do not notice the lack of four-wheel drive as much as we thought...

It is true that at the beginning of the year we already had an adventure where a team of motorcyclists helped us pull the car out of the morass, but...
