Most Helpful Review

Dzire the family car

I have good driving experience in the city area because I live in Bhopal, and after-sale servicing and maintenance are good from my nearby service center. I love the car very much. Go for buying a new one.

Mini BMW

Buying experience is good, staff cooperates and is polite Driving experience is just amazing like bmw, audi Looks like some Italian car, performance is great as it comes with turbocharged engine. Servicing and Maintenance won't attack on your wallet. Only Cons is it's mileage.

Perfect car for an Indian family

Writing this review after driving for 30,000 + km, out of which drove more than 17,000 km on highways, and being able to drive consistently at speeds of 110-120kmph on highways. Never had any problem with the mechanism of the vehicle. From a seating perspective: can easily fit in 2 adults in the last row, if it's children then 3 comfortably. Renault's cost of servicing is a little on the higher side, Overall the experience has been great.

2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire First Drive Review

Tata Zest Long Term Report II

By Ninad Ambre30 Jun 2015

You never know when it’s going to rain especially when it comes to the Mumbai monsoons and you don’t stand a chance when the downpour begins. It was about that time of the year again and after the horrendous summer, I was elated having the Zest to save me from the first rains. As the showers tried to cool down the baked crust in vain, I was happily weaving through the city traffic in the compact sedan from my home in a Mumbai suburb to the new Bombay, ohhh, Navi Mumbai!

Tata Zest Long Term Report-1

By Desirazu Venkat16 Jun 2015

The Tata Zest was the second car to arrive in our long term garage for 2015. Its compact proportions and peppy little 1.2-litre Revotron engine prompted me to cover over 700km in just 14 days. The car that we had got was pretty much new as it had just covered 778km before reaching our garage. This meant that the cabin or even the whole car for that matter had not yet got the ‘tough’ treatment meted to media fleet vehicles and it was up to us to get things going
