The French-born Kangoo assists people with their hobbies and lifestyle.
Vol.15 / Masateru Sakota BARBER SAKOTA

The "KANGOO" of Renault is attractive for its high cargo capacity and French-born design. Through this Series, we have been reporting on the appeal of the KANGOO from various angles, and now, for the first time, a real user has joined us. The passenger is Mr. Masateru Sakota of "Barber Sakota," a well-known barber shop in Shimotakaido. We will closely observe Mr. Sakota's lifestyle in his cool silver-colored Kangoo, which he just received at the end of last year.

It's a universal color, but when it comes to "Kangoo" it's fresh.

Mr. Sakoda heads from Shimotakaido to Nakano with his accustomed handling of the steering wheel. What made you decide to get a Kangoo in the first place?

I had a car before that was kind of cool (laughs), and I wanted to switch cars. Old vintage cars are cool and austere, but you often hear that they break easily. I thought that was not a good fit for my current lifestyle, so I was looking for a car that would not break easily and would be different from the rest.

That's when I found Kangoo," continues Mr. Sakoda.

. I also ride a bicycle, so I wanted a car that I could carry it in, like I do today. That's when the Kangoo caught my eye. I thought it had an appealing, friendly design that didn't have a glaring look, and when I saw it on the street, I was a little curious.

The yellow color of the Kangoo is impressive. However, Mr. Sakoda chose silver. This was also a point of consideration for Mr. Sakoda.

I see yellow on the street, but not so much silver. I thought that was a nice touch. Silver is an infinitely universal color for passenger cars, but in the Kangoo, it looks fresh. I thought that gap was interesting.

As we were talking about this, the "Kangoo" arrived at its first destination. We unload our bicycles and head into the store.
