Underrated Flagship

1) Nexa dealership experience was very responsive and helpful you will get it across almost all the nexa showroom. 2)Before purchasing any car test drive is most important, during that duration i test drive nexon and scross, Nexon is punchy and powerful but i love the calmness and comfort of scross which make it a perfect family car. 3) Personally i love the looks of s-cross, it is elegant and classy which means it will age well due to larger front grill, the performance of this car will not disappoint you because of punchy 103 hp, my family members love the ample amount of cabin space, for the longer journey the cabin size is decent. 4)I have done 2 free services from nexa suggested service centre and till now i have no issues with them, they will persuade you for coating. 5)Pros - Excellent cabin space, punchy engine, comfortable suspension, awesome exterior looks. Cons- Interior should be updated like a competitor, Seating upholstery, Lack of rear ac vents.

Safe, affordable and super Punch.

After getting a good deal for my 13 years old hatchback I was planning for a new one and visited car showrooms near me and finally decided to buy this Tata Punch Pure (MT). Tata Motors Showroom sales team is very friendly and cooperative here and there was no waiting period drama. After doing finance related paperwork I made the down payment and the same day they delivered the car. Although this is a 5 seater, this car is called a compact SUV and it is corroborated by it's exterior, rugged design, high ground clearance, wide cabin space and large boot but you can handle it or park it in a space required for another hatchback. I have driven this car about a thousand kilometers and can say the driving experience is just mind blowing. Driver's sitting position gives the feel of driving SUV. Front and side visibility are more than enough for cornering, parking and it's very helpful while driving in bumper to bumper traffic. High ground clearance and stiffer suspensions add confidence on rough roads and irregular speed breakers. It delivers mileage of 20+Kmpl on highway easily. Along with 2 airbags all basic safety features are included from the base model of the car and on a price of 6 Lakh I think it is the most cost effective variant. Maintenance or service cost seems to be reasonable. Pros: 1) Safety rating 5-star. 2) Two driving modes. 3) Auto start/stop feature. 4) Wide body cladding prevents the car from scratches and believe me it looks cool on my grey color. 5) The car is wide enough in second row for 3 persons in terms of shoulder room. 6) All seats are very comfortable with decent thigh support. 7) Muscular look (although it's personal choice). 8) 90° all doors opening. Cons: 1) A friend of mine says it feels underpowered (but personally I don't think so). 2) Cabin noise and vibration (again I don't feel so. May be it's because of Phase-2 car which I have). Verdict: If you have limited budget and you want a safe SUVish car. Go for it .
