questions based on the passage. First,
read passage to answer these questions based on it.
PASSAGE
When
you buy a car, examine carefully the important features of the model you are
considering. Many a buyer of the latest
models has got into trouble by buying a car too broad or too long for his
garage. Furthermore, a long car is much
harder to manoeuvre in traffic and much more difficult to park. Another feature is the comfort afforded. Are the seats nice and durably upholstered? Is there enough glass area to give the driver
a good view in all directions, particularly to the rear? It should be remembered that the heavier and
more powerful a car is, the more expensive it will be to operate. High powered motors require expensive high-octane
petrol. The greater weight means
greater tyre wear and enlarged brakes.
The old cliché is still true; it is not initial cost but the upkeep
which matters I!
