Life and Lavida: A perfect match for this sales and marketing manager

Sales and marketing manager Mon Buela eventually realized a lot things when he pulled the trigger on getting a Volkswagen Lavida — and how it fits his life's aspirations and goals.

The Lavida has been an efficient lifestyle partner for Buela, especially in his job in a financial firm. According to Buela, the car’s “performance, space, and boldness” helps him “reach new heights. He considers the car as a “perfect daily driver” for the on-the-go professionals like him.

Aside from the name that the Lavida carries, Buela is also drawn to the ease of ownership that the car offers. He said, “I knew Volkswagen produces topnotch cars worldwide, wherever they may have been manufactured. I also wanted a vehicle that isn’t costly to own. I got enticed by the once-a-year PMS visit, which costs half as much as the annual PMS in other brands. Moreover, I know that Volkswagen cars are fuel-efficient.”

“When I was in the market for a new car, I wasn’t simply looking for what it could offer. Yes, the Lavida has a fast engine, elegant interior, intuitive infotainment, and a head-turning exterior—characteristics that would lure bachelors like me. But I was already planning on starting a family, and I found this as my ideal starter family car. A high safety rating and Isofix child seat anchors made it fit in my plans. In addition, while most people would prefer SUVs at this price point, I don’t think those SUVs could match the experience and drive that the Lavida could offer,” Buela added.

Aside from his plans to settle down and start his own family, Buela is also looking forward to establish a business in the future. “The Lavida is one of my first steps in steering my life goals to the next direction,” he said. “Owning a Volkswagen is having a good and equipped car that will usher me into the following stages of my life. Volkswagen cars certainly have all the bells and whistles at an acceptable price range, particularly with the robust build and low cost of ownership.”

As Buela continues to bring his Lavida in every journey that he takes, it is further proven that he made the right purchase. “Saying the Lavida is merely comfortable would be an understatement,” Buela said. “The sturdy vehicle brought more than just comfort on the road. It allowed me to have peace of mind because of the safety features. Also, I can’t believe how fuel-efficient the Lavida has been. During my first weeks of owning it, I was trying to beat every personal efficiency record. My personal best so far has been 26.3km per liter.”

Due to the impressive performance that his Lavida has provided, Buela declared that he’ll be a loyal Volkswagen customer. “I don’t see myself changing my brand in the future,” Buela stated.
