To Haga by 320i

The other day, a family of four went to Haga, Hyogo Prefecture, in a BMW 320i.Haga is a rural town in Shiso City in midwestern Hyogo PrefectureIt is. As many car and motorcycle enthusiasts in the Kansai region may know, the roads and scenery are very beautiful.

In my family, we haveWhen you buy a new car, the first thing you do is go to Haga.It is customary to do so. Because not only are the roads beautiful, but also "theThere are great spots to take beautiful pictures of your car." This photo spot is a favorite place that my husband has been secretly visiting for about 25 years.

So this time, I decided to head to Haga in the 320i that had just been delivered to me the other day, but since I was going to be there, I asked my husband to drive me this time.Later, ask them to write a report on how they felt, as usual.I decided to do it.(My husband only got a glimpse of the car on delivery day because I ride it every day)

I've been relying too much on my husband's test drive reports lately... I'll work hard to be able to report on my own... (sweat)

Well done on your MT driving practice!

First, I drove off. I said, "I'm going to drive."I'll show you the results of my 10 days of practice after delivery.I'm ready to go! I was so excited that I started running. My husband told me, "Now you can start the car normally!I was told, "I'm not a good driver," but with my husband riding beside me, I felt like an instructor was in the passenger seat, and I stalled the car where I normally would not have, or failed to start up a hill in a hurry (-_-).

My husband told me that

Really, Mina-chan is the one."mental derangement" but as it is."erratic driving"You're the guy who's connected to the "W".

He laughed at me and said, "No, I'm not! I'm usually better than this! I'm nervous because it's like having an instructor on board!I managed to regain my composure and kept running, making excuses to myself, saying, "I'm not going to make it.

Gradually getting used to the instructor in the passenger seat and regaining my usual sense of driving, I casually glance at the sticker on the sticker of the car ahead of me...

."MT vehicle Caution against backing up on a slopeI had mentioned in my blog before that I had ordered this sticker. I have mentioned before in my blog that I ordered this sticker.(I'm the horizontal version)

Someone really put it up! I've never seen it before.

The power of this sticker was pretty awesome, and I, in the car behind, was driving fearfully with a little distance between us.The car ahead of me did not slide down the hill, rather it started smoothly and drove well.It was. I wonder if they are putting up the stickers for family practice.

After that, we got on the highway and my husband and I took over driving at a service area on the way. Now it was time for my husband to drive the 320i. He said, "I'm going to drive the 320i.I wonder what he will really think about it.I was listening to "The Husband" while my husband was trying different ways to shift up and down.

The clutch connection feeling is quite easy to understand." "As expected of BMW's handling, the car turns as if it is cutting into the road." "The car is stable at high speeds, but the ride is still a little fluffy, which I think is due to the tires."

I was driving around, mumbling something like, "I'm not a good driver.

When this 320i was first started up, the engine wasComfort" modeThe suspension is soft, but my wife and I like a firm ride.sports modeWhen I drove with the "I", the suspension felt just right with the chiseled suspension.

However, once you get used to it, you'll find that you'll be able toI wish there was another step up, like a sport plus mode, to make the suspension a bit stiffer.I thought, "I'd like to have this car, but I don't think I should ask too much of it. However, since this 320i is a bare-bones model and not a sporty model like the M Sport, I guess I shouldn't ask for too much of such things.

Nevertheless.This 320i is very quiet.When my husband downshifted and revved up the car, he could hardly hear the engine, so he did not feel much acceleration.(So be careful not to drive too fast.)The ride was quiet and comfortable, just like a Mercedes-Benz, and I felt that it was very comfortable for my passengers.

Take the lower road to Haga

We got off the highway at the Yamazaki IC and headed down the road to Haga. At first there were many cars, but as we headed north, the amount of traffic decreased, and we were able to enjoy a pleasant drive along a pleasant farm road. It was a sunny and hot day, so we stopped at a convenience store on the way to rehydrate.

We then sprawled out on the farm road leading to Haga.

Thus, when I drove along a farm road in the countryside, I thought to myself, "I'm not going to be able to do that.Japan is really beautiful.I thought again. Each of the four seasons has its own beauty: rows of cherry trees in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and pure white snow in winter.The road leading to Haga had a completely different look when I came during the foliage season.I felt that I would never get bored no matter how many times I came.

After less than an hour of driving down the road, we arrived at the parking lot of the hole-in-the-wall photo spot. As I expected, no one was there on this day.

When we come here, my husband usually spends the entire 30 minutes to an hour taking pictures of the cars, so I decided to leave the photography to him and let the kids play on the grassy area next to us.

There is a clear stream nearby, and fireflies can be seen at night. The children were overjoyed and played barefoot. The "Mere Old Man" was very happy to see the children playing barefoot.You've played a lot.I looked over at my husband and saw that he was still taking pictures (laughs).

By the way, here is a picture my husband took at that time.

I would like to come back here again in a different season. ....but I haven't taken a single picture because I leave it to my husband... (explosion)

After my husband finished taking pictures of the 320i, and since we were there, we took pictures of the children as well.

He tried to go further up the Haga mountain and down the mountain in the opposite direction, but on the way, he found that "thewatch out for cave-insThe road was blocked with a sign that read "The road is closed," so we turned around and went back to the road.(After all, this is what happens when I drive)We returned to the road we had come from and headed home.

The children were tired from playing a lot and were sleeping comfortably and soundly.

We ended up driving about 200 km that day, on highways, city streets, and farm roads.Fuel consumption is 12.3 km/lIt was. Yes!" I thought, but is this better than other cars in this class? ...I've been looking at the fuel economy of Porsches, and I've become numb to it and don't really know anymore (-_-)

Cars are nice, by the way.With a car, you can take your family anywhere in Japan.Once again, I felt grateful for these days and this environment.

Well, good luck with your MT driving practice.
