The Zen is COOOOOOOOOOOL.......its sexy(esp. from the side) stylish and nimble!If you’re a funtoo driver looking for a cheaper option this is where your search ends.
A smaller better version of the Ford Ikon is how one could rate this....if it wern’t for the abysmal lack of power!
Sorry to say this...but the Zen stops just before the Swift starts....it’s peppy but not fast.
The best thing about it though is it’s handling.Pure bliss.And of course the hassle free maintenence....our family Zen clocks 84, 983 at the moment and the no. of garage trips apart from regular servicing has been.....3. In eight years...thats a lot a of money saved. And it’s safe....at 50 if you slam into a standing truck...chances are you will escape shaken up but relatively unhurt! Ask my Dad!
There’s not much leg space at the back but the front seat is good for medium-large sized people...unless like me you’re 6’3’’ and need to squeeze your self into the low slung seats.
With power steering driving is totally effortless....but WARNING:If you’re below 5’4’’ STOP your head won’t even reach over the steering wheels top let alone grasp it and maneuver comfortably.
So, basically for sharpness in performance and looks....if you want a Maruti go in for the Zen....although the new model is not as great looking as the older one...the Zen still looks better than the bullfrog like Swift though it doesnt move better!!
