What Actually Makes a “Good Boot”?

Before you get lost in litres and cubic feet, here’s what to actually look for in real-world Kenya:

Shape & Usability: Flat, square boots fit more than curved, sloping ones.Ease of Loading: Low loading height = easier on your back and less hassle.Seat Flexibility: Split-folding seats = your car turns into a ka-pickup when needed.Versatility: One car that can do family trips, hustle runs, and bulk errands? Sure bet!

Final Word: Size Matters (Especially in the Boot)

In a country where your car is your workhorse, warehouse, and weekend chariot - boot space matters. Whether it’s for your business hustle, your growing family, or your next adventure, don’t just settle for pretty paint or a shiny dashboard.

When you open that boot, ask yourself: “Can this carry my life?”
