Ford has recently released a one of its kind new car buyer’s guidebook. Aptly named as “First Gear”, it specifically focuses on all the major concerns that a typical new car buyer in India usually experiences. This book is designed in a comical way and revolves around the story of two fictional characters - Jack and Jill. While Jack, as a typical young guy, aspires to buy an ultra fast sports car. Jill, on the other hand, is a woman who seeks for a stylish car that suits her lifestyle and her desire to be at the height of fashion. This 100 Pages long book is quite informative for both, new and seasoned car buyers alike. At the same time, it ensures to keep the readers amused with humorous style and witty comments in between so that you do not get bored (I don’t think you would, anyway).
Apparently, First Gear has no branding of ‘Ford’ on the outside pages but on the inside – You will find obvious references to Ford cars and their associated partners. However, the best part is that this book is filled with interesting and important car-related facts, on not only purchase but ownership and maintenance too. In fact, there are a couple of chapters dedicated to road safety along with a separate chapter on SOS that focuses on break down / accident / theft / carjacking etc. Thanks to Ford for mailing me this book (It’s handy). Just thought to share as it will be useful for fellow members too. It’s available free of cost. Here’s the download link.
