Xa kuziwa ezimotweni, akusekho kubalwa ngobungakanani kwakhona. Kutshanje ndiqhube iToyota enkulu kangangokuba bendinexhala malunga nokuvalwa komthi kwisitalato sam. Kwiiveki ezimbalwa kamva ndadibana neMINI ephantse yaba yeyamaxi. Inazo zonke izinto eziqhelekileyo ze-MINI doo-dads ezinje ngegearshift entle kunye nee-air vents kunye nomanyisi we-Union Jack. Kwakude kwafana nemoto ethwala izidumbu.
Kwelinye icala, ezinye iimoto ziyarhwaqelela emva kwintetho. Thatha, umzekelo, iMercedes GLA 250, endisandula ukuyiqhuba kangange veki eColorado- kuba ezo ziindidi zeemoto oziqhubayo xa ubhala uphononongo lwemoto. Yimveliso engacacanga kwicandelo elibizwa ngokuba ziiLuxury Compact Sports Utility Vehicles, okanye ii-CUVs, ezibandakanya oomatshini abaziwayo abafana neLexus NX kunye neBuick Envision. Ngokuyinqanaba lokungena kwi-CLA sedan, enye yeemodeli ezithandwa kakhulu eMercedes kwimbali, kunye nophahla oluphakanyisiweyo kunye ne-hatchback.
Ngaphakathi i-GLA ibikhangeleka ikrokra ngathi yi-MINI bendisandula ukuyiqhuba. Ngaphandle kwayo bekukho ngaphezulu kokufana nokudinwa. Nangona kunjalo ibiswele i-MINI's pep kunye nobuntu. Nika iminyaka embalwa, nangona. Sisondela kwimoto eyodwa, apho yonke into ephantsi kwe- $ 75,000 ingaphezulu okanye incinci ngokufanayo.
Umzekelo, ngelixa sasiseColorado kuhambo losapho, uninzi lwethu lwalufuna ukuthatha uhambo-mna, utata wam, umfazi wam, umntwana wam, umakazi, umalume, kunye nezinja ezintathu ezintle ezazingenguye krelekrele. Siqhubile iimoto ezimbini saya kwelinye icala lendlela, kwaye, kuba ayinguye wonke umntu owayefuna ukunyuka ngazo zombini iindlela, kwafuneka silayishe enye imoto siyiqhubele kwelinye icala.
Enye yeemoto yayiyi-Volkswagen Passat katata ka-2009, ngokucacileyo ayinakulunga ngokwaneleyo kulo msebenzi. NdineGLA. Ndicinge ukuba le yayiyi-SUV yohlobo, inokulingana wonke umntu.
Kodwa emva koko ayinakukwazi. Mna nomfazi wam sasihleli ngaphambili. Emuva kwakuhleli utata, udade wabo kunye nomalume, bonke bakwiminyaka yama-70. Umalumekazi kunye nomalume wabo babephethe inja encinci, ekhawulezayo (kubandakanya uMellow, isoseji ethambileyo emdaka neyasuswa kwizwi lakhe ukuze akhonkothe njengedada). Sizamile ukubeka inja katata, uCosmo, kwindawo eqanduselweyo, kodwa uCosmo wakubona okuzayo wazikhusela kwisitulo sangasemva wazingqengqa kwiziko lokuthuthuzela. Kwakusafuneka sive ukuba sizokumbeka phi unyana wam okwishumi elivisayo.
Kuya kufuneka uhambe kwindawo yokuqandusela, nditshilo.
Kwintoni? uthe. Abantwana bakhetha izitulo zabaphathi babo. Uluvo lokuba kwakufuneka akhwele esiqwini sasiyinto yelinye ilizwe.
Ndiyenzile ngalo lonke ixesha xa ndandisemncinci, ndathi, okwakuyinyani, kodwa oko akuzange kukhuseleke. Wakhwela emqolo wankqonkqoza emntwaneni, warhoxa kwisiphelo sakhe esimangalisayo. Le GLA yayinemibala yeCanyon Beige Metallic, uhlobo olufihliweyo obumdaka-tyheli, njengepakethi yemostade enamavili. Sasihamba ngemizuzu emithathu ukuya kwinqwelo-mafutha kwimoto yokoqobo.
Uqhuba njani phaya emva? Umfazi wam wakhwaza unyana wethu. Unomoya owaneleyo?
Ewe ndonele umoya , mama, utshilo. Yimeko yebhanti endikhathazayo ngayo.
I-GLA 250, iyinyani, ayinabhanti esiqwini. Inayo i-2.0-litre inline 4 injini ye-turbo efumana i-208 enjini kunye ne-258 lb-ft ye torque, hayi amanani afanelekileyo ukubetha uloyiko. Kukwakho nesantya esixhenxe sokuhambisa okuzenzekelayo kunye nawo onke amavili. Imodeli endandize nayo yayinamavili amnyama amnyama angama-intshi ali-19 anamavili e-AMG athetha izinto ezininzi, ayinika amandla nokuzibamba. Ndayiqhuba yonke iColorado. Kwiindlela zomhlaba, ukunyuka koohola beentaba, nasezidolophini, kwaye iphethe yonke into enkulu. Ke kwakhona, kunjalo nangomndilili weDodge kunye neHyundai Elantra endiyibonileyo. Ke kutheni le moto, ke?
Ayisiyi mileage yegesi. IMercedes ayikhuphi lwazi lwe-MPG kwi-2018 GLA, kodwa eyokugqibela ifike kwi-20s ephezulu, ke lindela enye efanayo, mhlawumbi iipesenti ezili-10 zibhetele.
Awunakutsho ngokuchanekileyo ukuba esi sisindululo sexabiso, nokuba. Imodeli esisiseko ye-GLA yi- $ 35,000 kunye notshintsho, yiyo le nto idlula ngokufikeleleka kwezi ntsuku. Kodwa imodeli yam ixabisa i $ 50,000. Inephakheji yemultimedia, isikhumba semidlalo, izihlalo ezishushu, nazo zonke iintlobo zokhuseleko lweprimiyamu. Ke nangona yayikude nemoto yodidi, yayinohlobo lweqokobhe leelekese. Ukuyikhupha phezulu, bekukho iPhakheji yokuNceda abaqhubi, uhlobo lwesiseko semodeli yenqanaba 2 lokuzimela. Yaqala yema ekuhambeni kweemoto, yatshintsha imizila ngokuqhwanyaza komqondiso wokujika, owawupholile ngokwenene. IMercedes 2018 S-Class yazigxotha kumgca wendibano. Kungekudala, abasayi kuludinga uncedo lwethu.
Nangona kunjalo, zonke iirobhothi zokuqhuba emhlabeni azizukuyicombulula ingxaki yamalungiselelo okufaka abantu abathandathu kunye nezinja ezintathu emotweni ekufuneka ikwazi ukuphatha lo mthamo, kunye neicooler ezimbalwa. Sikhutshiwe kwi-GLA njengamantshontsho avela kwiigobolondo zawo. Imoto ibingelo luncedo ngokukodwa, kwaye ibingabalulekanga kwezemidlalo. Kodwa yayidibene, ilungele ukubalekela ezintabeni kuphela.
Le moto intle, utshilo umalume wam, othanda iimoto. Kodwa ayisiyonto xa ithelekiswa nePorsche Macan owawuyiqhuba kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo.
Yayiyinyani leyo. IMacan, okhuphisana ngokuthe ngqo kwi-GLA, yahamba ngokukhawuleza njengesihogo kwaye yayibamba indlela njengesigcawu. Kwaye kwahlala abantu abathandathu.
