Different Perspective

I love tata nano for its practicality in design for the city driving. I have been recommending it to many people and here are the pros and cons - PROS I have driven it till 100 Km/hr comfortably. The turning radius is amazing. Almost like a motor bike. So makes it very easy to manoeuvre in city jams and sharp turns. Decent pickup for 2 people and a small car. Enough room in front passenger seat to sit comfortably cross legged. Good A/C when there are two or 1 people are sitting. Cheap maintenance - All parts are cheap. Excellent ground clearance - Goes excellently over bad roads and big speed breakers, without scraping bottom. CONS Noise - The cabin is noisy with the rear mounted engine. Brakes - Having all drum brakes, make the braking a little sluggish. A/C -in 40+ temperature and with 2+ people it becomes completely ineffective. No left rear view mirror - Added in recent model. Bad average - I get an average of barely 14, even on my best driving. But this has...

Tata Aria: Review Tata Aria, Price, Photos and Technical Specifications of Tata Aria I am wondering at the price and placement of Tata Aria. Priced in the range of 14-17L on road, who would buy this? No wonder many beautiful features have been added, but one needs to visit the Tata service center to understand how much they are crowded by taxis and how much they are overworked to deal with cars in this range. Being a tata safari owner i know the pain the service center people are. People who would be shelling out this much amount would shell few more to go for vitara, toyota fortuner or endeavour. Probably tata would launch a strip down version on this to give competition to Mahindra XYLO and innova.. Tata is a good player in the value for money segment, but i am wondering which segment does aria fit in..

About 1-2 months ago the ABN AMRO website was updated, now it does not work on Firefox and on every page/click there is an IE error. Now being a software testing engineer myself i cant tell you how irritated i am when i see such shitty websites. You cant do this for any website that deals with americans. MY safaris irritating issue with the accelerator pedal is now resolved. Apparently the break sensor had to be adjusted slightly to resolve the problem. The cars now have complicated electronic management systems and everything is apparently a connected. These sensors and management software is made by Lucas an international giant. Still when you connect the latop to your safari it just shows---engine pedal stuck (as if this was not known) and nothing else. There was no hint as to what was the root cause of the problem. Another example of crappy software and engineering. Safaris bottle which holds windshield wiper water has now started leaking, the bottle has punctured big time on its ...
