I never thought of myself as a car person, till i started enjoying the act of driving.
I love driving. I love road trips, especially the highway to Kuantan.
I love the time it gives me to stare out into expanding shapes that move past and around you.
It’s like gliding through space filled with greenery and blue.
I enjoy driving in the city. Heck, i’m even okay with traffic jams, believe it or not.
But i enjoy driving fast too. I drive fast even when i don’t need to because i just enjoy it. (I promise i’m not the kind who dangerously weaves through people like a maniac.)
It used to be that when i thought about other cars while driving in my own,
i’d feel like i’m cheating on her.
Nowadays when i find myself imagining the feel of another car,
i’d immediately say loudly in my head, “You’re still the best. Ever.”
So i feel we’ve come to an agreement that it’s okay for me to imagine getting another car, fully knowing i am in no financial state to do so.
I’ve been driving around different cars lately due to work purposes, and it’s been an eye opener.
Admittedly, i’d initially look down in disdain a tad slightly due to their inferior looks.
But in the end something about their other functions won me over in the end.
Every time i’ve had to drive them, i do so with fondness for their subtle qualities.
I recently stumbled upon an opportunity to drive yet another car.
This time it’s by a brand that i’ve not had the chance of experiencing before – Ford.
Specifically, the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost.
The New Ford Fiesta 1.0L is powered by the triple award-winning International Engine of the Year (2012, 2013 and 2014) which comprises of a 3-cylinder turbo charged engine paired with the Powershift ® six speed automatic transmissions. It is one of the smallest yet most powerful engines in its class, with the ability to ride with the power and acceleration at 125ps and 170 Nm. And most importantly, this fuel efficient 1.0L engine only uses 5.3l/100km. Side note, the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost has 7 airbags fitted all around to ensure your safety.
I’m a sucker for new technology as it never ceases to blow my mind, especially with cars as it is all pretty foreign to me. The New Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost boasts smart technologies including the hands-free in-car connectivity system Ford SYNC™, SYNC voice-activation technology, Hill Launch Assist, Electronic Stability Control, Keyless Entry with Push Button start, and Kinetic Design.
Doesn’t she look like a ladybug!?! Looking stylish in a sporty looking body kit, the new Ford Fiesta is also fitted with Daytime Running Lights, Auto Headlamps and Auto Rain Sensor.
The people at Ford and i have collaborated to invite 6 lucky blog readers to test drive it at their event this Saturday! I’ll be doing it that day too! Just click the link for the form here and 6 people will be chosen randomly to attend the test drive this Saturday 20th December.
