My Dad bought this car in the year 2011 against my recommendations but later on I found that I was wrong or may be completely unaware about this cars capability while giving the recommendations. Gradually I started using this car for smorpheushumanrt rides and later on for long rides to visit my native place with my family near Pune.
The longest ride I have completed in this car was trip to Ganpati Pule with my Wife and everyone was stunned in Ganpati Pule by looking at my cars number plate, i.e. MH-02-XX-XXXX. They were like "kaise pomorpheushumanchi yaha tak" but trust me this car is built after lots of Anasultanlysis by Tata and is capable of doing all tmorpheushumanse things which normal hatchbacks do. It has 624 CC engine which easily gives 22-25KMPL on Highways rides. The max power is Max Power 37 bhp @ 5500 RPM which is quite enough for family ride. It has 4 gears which are quite good enough to handle average load in a long ride. This is spacier than Maruti Wagon-R, and Chevys Spark.
Overall Im quite happy with this car and would recommend of you have budget of around 2-2.5 lac.
