So you have decided
to buy a new car? Fantastico its a great decision ! So what are you
looking for in a new car? When I put this question to my best friend
who was planning to buy a new car he appeared zapped.
Actually this is a
question that a lot of people face and because they do not know the
answer they may end up buying a car that may not be their first
choice.
Buying a car in
India is a big decision.
If I were to put
this question to myself then I would list the following qualities or
criteria while selecting a car.
1 A car made in
India: Reason I love my country and a car made fully in India is
designed to work on Indian roads and Indian conditions.
b) The spares are
easily available and are more competitively priced as compared to
cars which are fully imported.
b)Due to higher
import duty on foreign cars I can buy a higher end model car in my
given budget as compared to a base model of a foreign car.
c)When I buy a car
that is made in India I am not only saving money but the money I
spend on a car is giving employment to fellow Indians.
c) I want to buy a
car that I look good with. Just take a selfie with the Indian cars
that are being built and sold in the country and compare it with the
foreign ones . With latest ergonomic designs and features
the Indian cars
can give any foreign car a run for their money.
d) Indian cars have
a wider service network and even if you need some help with your car
in the middle of nowhere you are likely to find a mechanic who can
fix your car.
By now I realize
that this discussion of ours is getting a bit generic when I say an
Indian car. So from here on I would be more specific and safely use
the example of a car from TATA motors to take this discussion
forward. The reason I use TATA motors is the fact that when I use the
phrase Indian car the first word that comes to my mind is TATA motors
as this is a brand that is producing trucks, passenger cars and all
kinds of vehicles for a very long time now but the beauty is that
they have been constantly upgrading and reinventing their product
line .As a result they have evolved the Brand TATA motors into a
company that exports their cars to various parts of the world. Such
is their prowess at their trade that they purchased the leading brand
Jaguar which was an ailing company then and have turned it into a
much sought after brand once again. Today TATA motors is exporting
its cars to various countries and has happy and loyal consumers all
around the world. So what is good for the rest of the world is good
enough for me as well.With the launch of TATA Motors Zica it would
add another trusted car to its existing portfolios of passenger
cars.
It is a hatchback.
It is designed to look compact from the outside but spacious from the
inside.
e) I want a car that
has plush interiors and a good view of the road and with TATA motors
functionality is part of the DNA of every model that they build.
Talking about a car
that is loaded with features I cannot help but mention the presence
of parking sensors that would help me park the car even on difficult
and tight parking spots.
g)I need a good
entertainment option: Such as play music from my mobile , radio or
saved on my device thanks to the smartphone integration, Bluetooth
and a Herman sound system.
h) Show me the way.
With India always on the moves roads ,cities and townships ate being
built all the time and there is growing traffic as well so a
navigation system is a must.
i)Good fuel efficiency
and power under its hood. I am looking forward to the petrol variant
with the
Tata Zica Revotron
1.2 engine you get 83bhp @ 6000rpm; 114Nm @ 3500rpm making it stand
tall amongst its peers.
Don't take my word
for it go ahead and take a test drive and experience it yourself
first hand. After all “Test Drive Karne Ke Aur Dekhne ke Paise Nahin Lagte”
This blog post is inspired by the blogging marathon hosted on IndiBlogger for the launch of the #Fantastico Zica from Tata Motors. You can apply for a test drive of the hatchback Zica today.
