Binky

I finally gave in and availed of my car plan benefit. I refused to avail it at first as with the gas prices and toll getting home, I didn't find it beneficial. I find commuting more cost-effective.

However, one of the cars here at home already needs a replacement so Leo asked me to get a car. After canvassing, we decided on a Honda City 1.3 CVT colored alabaster silver. According to the salesperson, it's fuel-efficient--like a Vios. But Vios was more expensive.

Leo does not believe on naming cars but I want to call my first car Binky. I don't know why I came up with that name, but I like it. Binky.

I love my new car (even if I won't be able to drive it as much), especially the radio. I'm very easy to please thus I was overjoyed when I saw that the radio is USB-capable--meaning I can plug in my USB with songs and the radio can play it. Nifty! I plugged in my USB when I took the car home and it played the songs stored there! I haven't tried it but if I plug in my Ipod shuffle, it'll probably play it too! Nice! And it has a remote control too! Weeee! (shucks, ang babaw ko. Hahaha!)

There are other features but I'm not interested much in them. Hehe. I'm just happy with the radio. As long as it's an automatic and it gets me where I needed to go, I'm fine.

Hey what's wrong with Binky? I like it! Congrats with your new purchase. Post a photo as well! Take care on the roads.

thanks all. nobody can't drive it yet though. mama discourages anyone to drive it (at least as far as ATC only) as there's no license plate yet. leo wanted vios though but it was so expensive. there's no 1.3 A/T and only the 1.5 has A/T. it's beyond our budget. mama's car is also a city (although hers is a 1.5) and we noticed that the interiors are the same. it's the body that's different.

Sunshine you did well because that is a less expensive car to maintain. I have a 1.3cc as well (Toyota Yaris) and I am very happy with the performance and we have fast roads here. My car is silver as well and it is brilliant because it doesn't show dirt easily. All exciting.

have you driven your car yet? is it a 3 door, 5 door or sedan? you made a good choice with the colour because dark colours retain heat more. how much does it do to a litre? what sort of fuel does it take? what is your odometre reading so far? are you more confident in your driving now? once upon a time - tito tony had a car named dum dum. you were not born yet then. i call my car tribute because that is what it says on the label.

no, i haven't driven it yet. nobody wants me to drive kasi nerbyosa ako. we only take the car out during weekends kasi wala pang plate. kapag may plate na, baka leo will take it with him to work. we use unleaded so i think it's around 1500 to 2K for a full-tank.
