Campusers have a taste for 4WD SUV rides but Osire Simon Peter, a third year MUBS student doing Computing is one of a kind. He decided to settle for a legit Land Cruiser VX an Option most members of Parliament are known for. When asked as to why he opted for this he said, the Land cruiser VX is largely reliable, as would be expected from any Toyota product.
How Did you Get this Car?
Mmmmh, I ordered this car from abroad with the help of a friend. As you see it’s different from other cars on the road.
What did you specifically like about the Land Cruiser?
It is big enough, I like its turbo Engine. I am not a fan of small cars. Small cars are not that comfortable and put me on tension while I am on the steering wheel. I like the Land Cruiser because it is spacious and gives me peace of mind while I am driving on the road. It also makes me look responsible- more like an MP.
How is its fuel consumption like?
It depends on where I would be traveling for the day. I sometimes travel less or more, depending on my day’s schedule. In Kampala normally, I put half tank and it runs for 4 days.
What is your dream car?
I have not thought about my dream car. The most important thing for me is getting a good and big car. I think It would any new Model of a Toyota Tundra.
How do you maintain it?
I service it after 1000km mileage and it costs me around 800k because it also requires replacing some spare parts.
What do you hate about this car?
I hate the speed of the car. It’s a Manual Car thus it gives me hard time in traffic jam..
Do you have any Misconceptions from people who see u driving such a big ride?
Obviously, people wonder where I got this car from, how I maintain it some people think it’s very big for me, well I don’t care!
