Towards the end of 2022, A few things changed. Golf did around 65k kms by the time we moved on. Btw, the eagle-eyed of you know the location! If I am in search of an estate, Golf would still be on my list. However several Germany/Italy trips and one super long NL-Croatia-NL trip made a lot of great memories. Covid times in-between also meant that the amount of travel drastically reduced. However, water pump and timing belt replacements besides regular maintenance meant that it was not particularly cheap to maintain overall. Fantastic car, everything felt like home very soon. Main reason for an estate car was that by this time our family had grown and we needed more room inside the car to be able to carry everything that needed around. It was 100k run, but was almost brand-new in and out. Golf Estate 1.6 Bluemotion 2019 to 2023 - After 3 years with Volvo, I moved away from the office lease and bought my second private car - 2015 make, used Golf Estate 1.6 Bluemotion TDI. They are amazing cars with one of the best seats in business combined with very high build quality. We toured from Italy to Norway and Paris to Berlin and all in between loved every moment of driving it. Drove for 3 years and 100k kms! What a car it was. Volvo V40 Cross country - Early 2017 to late 2019- Picked this long-lease car after a lot of research and test drives. Opel Astra - Late 2016 to Early 2017 - After the lease company wanted to take away the Golf, they replaced it with another short lease which was an Opel Astra that lasted a few months as I was then eligible for my long lease. VW Golf 1.0 hatchback - 2015 to 2016 - It was a short lease, lasted for about a year after that lease company wanted the car back for some reason. Lease car days were a bit more interesting. I guess someday, I might buy another one!Īfter a job change in 2015, I opted for an office lease car as the job involved a fair amount of travel. Almost no troubles except a battery change and a starter motor. I was also presently surprised at how good this small, funky but spacious car is. It did not take long to get used to new ways of driving and I was very happy to have a car. First car, it was more of an experiment to even check whether I could drive comfortably on EU roads as I was that doubtful. Renault Twingo: 2000 make, bought it in 2012 with ~150k Kms. My automobile life after moving to NL looks something like the below. I moved to The Netherlands for work back in 2012. If you are really looking for super details on numbers, a detailed review by T-BHP is here. There are no real technical details/numbers in this summary as I am one of those who worries more about comfortable cruising than Nürburgring lap times. This is a short (functional) initial impressions summary of my new (used) Lexus NX300h. BHPian dileepcm recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
