Ayisha Gharu Q&A:
What’s the best piece of advice you could offer a car buyer?
Don’t rush into things. Buying a new car is an exciting experience (especially if it’s your first one!), but do your research beforehand to make sure you choose a car that really suits your lifestyle. Have a look around, too, to ensure that you’re getting the best deal.
What’s the best car you’ve ever driven?
My favourite car I’ve ever driven would have to be the Genesis GV60 (mainly because of the really cool crystal sphere gear selector) I had the opportunity to drive one during our Winter Range test. I loved how comfortable it was and how stylish the interior was.
What will the car market look like in 20 years?
Considering the government’s push to more environmentally friendly vehicles, I expect most people to be driving electric cars in 20 years. I hope that the UK’s charging infrastructure will improve drastically by then, too, to accommodate the mass adoption of EVs.
