I own Tvs zest since Oct 2014, in fiery red colour. The very first thing to mention is the colour still seems as good as new no fading or dullness in color. I have medium use of 25 km daily . Even after 2.5yrs of ownership it self starts without any glitch. Very low maintenance and service cost.
The engine is protected and quick moves are easy, on other side climbing above 60 KMPH is straining. I received mileage of 40kmpl. It is sure option to consider as it is light weight and has good ride and handling.
