New Car: VW Tiguan
On June 20th, day before my birthday, we bought a new car! Jeff had been thinking about getting once before the new baby arrives, since his old Subaru has been “smoked” in and was just getting a little worn. Plus we wanted a bigger trunk, so we thought a mini-SUV type would work well for us new parents.
We got to the dealership after work, about 6pm. The guy that helped us was very nice, not pushy, and liked to make jokes. He said we were the only people to come in ALL DAY and he had come in on “his day off” hoping to make a sale. So he was sure glad to see us, as we were willing to buy right then and there.
We ended up test driving the VW Tiguan first, then looked at the Mazda CR-7. I liked the Mazda better because it’s trunk was a lot roomier and I personally trust Japanese cars more than European. But the interior dash of the Mazda looked really weird and awkward, so we decided to go with the Tiguan and in the “luxury” edition no less! Leather seats, moon roof, navigation system, ooh la la!
See my later post for more photos of the car during daylight.
This is the old Subaru Legacy sedan that Jeff traded in for. Say bye-bye.
