There are many aspects of motoring that appeal, putting your foot to the floor, watching the revs rise, hearing the engine note change and feeling the acceleration kick in is a pleasure that we can all access no matter what car we drive. Finding the perfect road, matching revs to gears to corners so that the tarmac appears to flow underneath you never gets boring whether you’re travelling at 20 or 60, it’s the road, conditions and speed limits that dictate. The simple pleasure of a long drive to somewhere new, a different town, section of coast, even a different country perhaps. All made possible by the cars we drive.
Is the car that you want comfortable? Easy to drive? Does it have a good stereo? Bluetooth? Is it an automatic or manual? does it ride well? These are the things that I want to know but most importantly, and the whole reason for MotorMartin, is to answer the following: Does it work in the real world where there is no race track, where tenths of a second don’t matter, can you still enjoy the drive, the experience?
I hope that this appeals to you, dear reader and that you chose to follow me on this new adventure. Keys at the ready…
