we visit X since

Hi,

''We visit my parents every week since we bought the car'' (p 513).

I took the sentence from Swan's Practical English Usage. I'd like to ask if it is also OK to use a present perfect progressive instead of the present simple:

We have been visiting my parents every week since we bought the car.

Thanks.

Yes. Your version is much more natural than Swan's.

Or we have visited.
