Lesson 19 Key Conversation I Need a New Ride!

Salesman: Hi, ma'am, may I help you?

Maddie: Yes, thanks. I'm in the market for a new car.

Salesman: What type of vehicle do you have in mind?

Maddie: I'm looking for something kind of sporty and compact that has a high energy efficiency rating.

Salesman: I definitely have some great cars that fit the bill. Are you interested in any particular make or model?

Maddie: I'm open to suggestions, but I heard that Honda has some excellent safety ratings this year, so I'd like to start there.

Salesman: Sure. This model is a top-notch choice. It has great fuel economy and it's a bestseller this month.

Maddie: It's really comfortable and actually quite roomy. The center console is nice, and I love the rearview camera.

Salesman: That comes standard, but we also have an optional GPS.

Maddie: I'd like to see how this handles on the road. I really like the feel of this one.
