The Tavera - Simply the Best

I took a test drive in the Tavera and I simply fell in love with it. I booked the car that same day!!! I bought the L2 model, with triple AC, Power steering and power windows.

Tavera has undoubtedly the best engine in its class. The turbo charged Isuzu engine is quiet and very powerful. My Chevy easily touches the 150 KM per hour mark on the Pune-Mumbai expressway. The car gives amazing pickup at the slightest touch on the accelerator.

Tavera has very good interiors. The cushions are good. The legroom in the second and third row is very very good. Even a six footer can sit very comfortably in the third row. The bucket seats offer great back support and are good for long drives. The wood finish on the instrument panel is also good. The electronic trip meter is very helpful and has class of its own.

My Tavera has TRAC (Triple row AC). The AC is fantastic. I have to increase the temperature, or my hands get ice cold!!! Even when I drive in the sweltering heat of Goa or Mumbai, the AC cools the full interior perfectly. The third row passengers are also well taken care of, with the third row AC blowers.

The car gives the best visibility any driver can ever hope for. The wind screen is large and the driving position is very good. Even if the driver is short, there won’t be any problem.

The Tavera is very easy to handle and the gears are very easy to change. The centre console provided in higher end models like mine, are very good and spacious. The power steering responds to the touch of a finger!!! The Tavera has a very small turning radius. So taking a U turn will not be problem even in the narrow streets. The steering wheel is very beautiful. My wife simply loves the leather covered steering, with a beautiful Chevy cross on it. The Tavera has amazing pickup and torque. It is possible to drive in the 3rd gear with a speed of 20Km/hr. This is specially useful in the city. It helps in fuel efficiency too! My Tavera’s gear shift is silky smooth.

My wife and I travelled to Goa and Kerala in our Tavera last year. We went to Goa from Pune. And from there, we went to Kerala. We also visited Vailankanni, a church near Chennai, on our car, with our family in Trivandrum. 
I drove almost 6600 kms in a span of two weeks. After spending more time in my Tavera, than on my bed, I have begun to adore my Chevy. I drove to Goa from Pune, taking a break only at Kolhapur. The drive took me 10 hours, but I never felt any fatigue. We spent 5 days in Goa and travelled all over Goa in our car. The experience was simply wonderful.
     
From Goa, we drove straight to Kerala, through Mangalore. To tell you the truth, I drove continuously for 21 hours!!! We took short breaks only to have food. We left Goa by 6am on the 28th Aug and reached Trichur in Kerala, the next day at 4.30am. I could drive throughout, without any fatigue!!!

I got a mileage of around 16 on highway, with AC. I drove all the time at around 90 to 100km/hr. At some places I could drive only at 20 km/hr, as the roads we so bad. I have never felt more comfortable in any other vehicle!!!

I went with my family to Vailankanni. We were a group of 8. Everyone enjoyed the drive and the comfort of my car. Even with full capacity passengers and luggage, my car would zoom on highways at 120+ km/hr, without any lag. What a powerful vehicle!!!

After all these years of driving, I can say just one fact from my personal experience. No other vehicle in its class can beat a Tavera!
