Solidly built and robust all weather compact SUV

The delivery of my vehicle happened 3 days before the first lockdown in Mar 2020. I purchased to vehicle from Key motors on Kanakapura Road, BLR and my experience was really good with the professionals who knew about the vehicle well. I have driven close to 20K kms and the experience has been rewarding in every single drive, long or short. The build quality and robustness of the vehicle can be felt as soon as you sit in the car and the ride and handling is appreciated on the road OR not (in BLR we have dug up and heavy pot hole ridden roads over the city and outskirts last couple years). I have completed all my free services and one paid service. The paid service cost was <2K which was a big relief to me compared to my Verna Diesel before this that cost no less than 8K for any standard paid service. While the vehicle is a "MUST BUY" recommendation to all prospective buyers, I would like to highlight one major aspect (which is not a deal breaker) and that is the AMT transmission. It gets the job done and requires getting used to (I drove a Verna Diesel torque converter automatic before) as its works in its own rythm and pace. You cannot force the AMT and soon will get adapted to it. I urge TATA to not be a MISER for people like us spending over 14K on the car and not getting proper auto transmission (if any of Tata Motors reps are reading this). For those who want a MANUAL gear box EYES CLOSED GO FOR NEXON. For automatic only buyers, its not a deal breaker (most Maruti's have the same AMT system) but a matter of getting used to. The savior here is the "Sports" mode in case you need full engine power and want to override the kinks of the AMT gearbox. The fuel economy does not take as much hit as its hyped. Even sports mode gives reasonable fuel economy. In Summary, its a well rounded package like an arranged marriage - you cannot get it all but over the years you grow on it. Kudos to TATA Motors team for coming up with a product like Nexon.
