What you need to know about convetables
The Briefly News team spoke with Tendani Muthumuni, a car repair and maintenance expert, who shared his professional opinion on the grand gift of a Mini Cooper convertible.
We asked the expert what choosing a car such as the convertible Mini Cooper says about the buyer from a lifestyle perspective. He responded:
"A convertible is a purely lifestyle statement. It shows the owner loves style, enjoyment, and the driving experience over practicality. It's a fun car, and it perfectly suits someone who has a bold personality. The young lady probably got it as her first car to match her personality."
The team asked the man what the main financial downside of choosing a convertible is, considering the South African climate. He added:
"The main downside is depreciation and maintenance. Convertible, particularly the roof mechanisms, can be very expensive to fix, and the fabric top requires specific care to prevent wear and tear. They are not a financial investment but an emotional one."
When asked what the most important maintenance advice for a Mini Cooper owner is. Tendani said:
"You must adhere strictly to the service schedule and use high-quality, genuine parts. Also, always keep the interior and the roof clean. Curring corners on the service will quickly destroy the car's performance and long-term value."
SA reacts to the car surprise
The comments section was filled with positive reactions from the online community. Many said Annie deserved the car, as she had been supportive of her man's hustle and shown that she loved him.
Some viewers complained about their own boyfriends, saying they would never dream of being gifted cars. Others noted how the young woman thanked God in the midst of her celebration and prayed, saying she would stay blessed.
