Are you a car person? Admittedly, I am not. To me, my car’s function is to get me to and from where I need to be. Since that sometime means driving through inclement weather, I generally drive a SUV or cross-over.

For the past six years I have leased a GMC Terrain. I loved my Terrain but, for some reason, when the second lease recently ran out I wanted to shake things up. So I walked into an Audi dealer and looked at their SUVs. The cars seemed fine but the salesperson’s attitude was not. When I questioned the high monthly cost of the lease the salesperson, in a dismissive manner, told me that Audis do not have good resale values as “experienced Audi drivers always buy new.” I walked out.

I then walked next door into a Volkswagen dealership. I sat in a Tiagun and realized that this was my new car. We sat down with the salesperson and went over the lease numbers. The sale person was accommodating, the numbers were right and the car was right. So, I leased the car. I think I shocked the salesperson when I said yes to the car due to my nonchalant attitude.

What do you drive?
