\"blog-2007-Rivervale-DSC00003-Cars-album.JPG\"As much as he tried to play it down, I know that darling was very happy with our latest acquisition. A colleague saw our new car and told me that she, too, had placed an order for Nissan<\/a> Latio<\/a> just over the weekend. Another colleague who\u2019s a driver walked over to me the other day and commented on all the good points of Latio<\/a> and said she wished she was still driving one; she\u2019s driving a Lexus now.<\/p>\n

Many are put off by its ugly exterior – its bulky body with an awful-looking \u2018backside\u2019. But once you get into the car, its \u2018inner beauty\u2019 wins the day. Its so spacious for a 1.5L car. Plus, the interior layout gives a posh feel. Darling and I were very pleased with the intelligent keyless feature – just leave the car key in your handbag \/ pocket, you can just open the car doors without the remote and turn on the engine without inserting the key into the slot. And this is what we like best: the boot can be opened by a touch pad – no more fumbling for key or going over to the driver\u2019s seat to reach for the latch to open up the boot. You can lock the car from the boot-side too, and keylessly.<\/p>\n

There are three other features we like about our new car: its quiet engine, fuel economy and UV & infra-red light protection. Keep it up, Nissan<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Still, I\u2019ve missed our Honda Civic after selling it. I mean it has been with me for almost 5 years and had seen my ups and downs. I felt like I\u2019ve abandoned my car. Now, it must be a sitting duck tucked away in some mechanic workshop waiting to be shipped to another country as a 2nd-hand car. It feels like abandoning a pet. Rather sad. I just hope that the next owner will take good care of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
