From Ananth,
I bought a Contessa diesel car four years ago. It is a solid car
very good for Indian road conditions. I have a power steering
and this makes it easy to manouvre. It maybe difficult to go in narrow
roads. it is a very good car for the highway driving, safe, stable
and comfortable. it does not have a nippy acceleration like the newer generation cars
and if one realises this, it makes for safe overtaking
and it will lessen accidents as more than 50% of accidents
are due to bad overtaking and sudden acceleration.I am happy with the car.
It cannot be replaced easily and should be continued like tha ambassador which is the backbone
car for smaller towns and villages.
