It&#8217;s a time to celebrate new beginnings in our lives with our family and close friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Akshay Kulkarni, a software engineer in Pune, the festive season became a time to welcome a new member to his family. With a growing family, it also was the opportune moment to bring home a car that would keep his family mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"small-beginnings\">Small Beginnings<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It is often said that big changes in life start with small steps. For Akshay and his wife, welcoming a newborn baby to their family was a very joyous occasion to start their family&#8217;s festive celebrations. Welcoming a newborn was just the start of their festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;As we embark on this new chapter in our life, we wanted to be able to drive our own journey.&#8221;  <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Akshay and his wife used to earlier rely on using cabs to move around the city due to the convenience. However, travelling in cabs with a newborn would no longer be convenient or safe in the new normal.  With a newborn in the family, Akshay says &#8220;it was time to finally add the &#8220;Baby on Board&#8221; sticker to our own car.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-the-car-in-family-car\">Adding the &#8220;Car&#8221; in Family Car<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Akshay&#8217;s requirements for a family car were straightforward. Keeping in mind Pune&#8217;s regularly congested roads, Akshay was interested in finding a compact car that provided good mileage and would be easy to maintain. A no-frills family hatchback loaded with features would be the ideal car for Akshay&#8217;s new family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;Safety was the primary requirement for my family car and Spinny ensured all my needs were met in the choices I was provided.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Within his budget, buying a new car would mean compromising on certain safety features and so, Akshay turned to Spinny to find a certified used car with the right combination of features, performance and value. After test driving several options, Akshay and his wife settled on a Spinny Assured Hyundai Grand i10 Asta to be their family car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bringing home this car gave us a second moment for celebration and our baby enjoys the early morning drives we&#8217;ve started going on,&#8221; Akshay muses about his first drives in his Spinny Assured car. He further adds that he&#8217;s looking forward to celebrate Car Joy by taking his family to their first family road trip to the nearby hill stations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The festive season is a very special time for many of us.
