Critical Literacy Question: In whose interest is this text?
A Honda dealership in Tampa, Florida displays a million-mile Honda CRX. The car went on display in 2015, and since then has driven one extra mile- resulting in a total mileage of 1,002,474 miles, or 1,613,325 kilometres. Surprisingly, the car still its original interior, and a fresh exterior re-paint.
This is because the owner put the CRX through regular maintenenace to keep it in great condition. The dealership says that it is unclear whether or not the vehicle has undergone any major repairs or replacements, but they say it "doesn't seem like it."
Bijoux then goes on to recommend that the article's readers perform some basic maintenance checks on their cars- referring to the TWIRL acronym: Tyres, Windscreen, Interior, Rust, and Lights.
I think that this text is of interest to most readers. It appeals to those interested in vehicles and motoring, but is an interesting and one-of-a-kind story. A vehicle reaching one-million miles is a rare occasion, but the car is also in great condition- especially for the distance it has travelled.
