Автолюбитель делится опытом: от дешевых подержанных машин до надежного Kia Rio

When I was a teenager, I saved up $800 to buy my first used car – a Buick Skylark that could fly down the road but had no frills and broke down constantly. From then on, I kept buying cheap used cars and learned pretty quickly that most of them were only a short‑term fix. My Grand Am was my first used car that lasted several years before I finally sold it. I eventually decided to start buying new. My first was a Nissan pickup, and it was still running great when I finally parked it in my brother’s backyard. After that, came a Honda Civic. It was stolen, then crashed into by a semi that never stopped – all right after I’d repaired the damage the thief caused. I hate car payments, but I needed a reliable ride. So, I bought my current car, a Kia Rio. And it won’t be my last one.
