Why Denom?
Have you found my earlier posts to be so conservative to have come to a conclusion that avidyarthy would only look at an Eeco ...? :lol:
Yeah, but the tug of war is definitely between the two ... Figo, for looks and Eeco on utility. Still repeating, it would have been Eeco had it offered 7-seat with AC, which till date is not there.
I am a very unassuming, low-profile person ...say, more of an introvert. Exclusivity is about the last things I seek. Maybe, my experiences till now have made me like this.
From what I have seen, the 'more' is better. The more the number of vehicles of a particular make on the roads, the better would be the service, spare part availabilty and the longevity of the model etc. Thats a practical approach ... We, Indians do not change vehicles at the drop of a hat (wife neither ...
). Definitely, things are changing and mind-sets too.
Someone mentioned in the previous posts about my Eeco choice ... yes, there is the 'roll' issue due to .... slight mismatch on macph suspensions, maybe higher CG. Please don't directly compare with Versa, since the width has also been increased. That takes care of this issue, some bit.
I do not, repeat ... do not drive for the pleasure of driving .... it is a
patience-killing, blood-curdling, road-rage inducing experience in Delhi, if you have to commute long distances within the city. So, I HATE driving in here. Luckily, for now, my place of work is just 3 kms away from home. Earlier, it used to fluctuate between 15 to 24 kms ... the last 10 years. Roads have become impossible now ... and the Nano is expected to make them
.
My car of choice would traverse low self-driveable (did I get the spellings right ..!) distance, at a modest 50-60 kmph max (if manageable, doubt though, except early morning and late hours) and get very speed specific gear-changes when required. Obviously, looking at my modest needs, a practical utility vehicle, would good fuel efficiency and low maintenance would fit the bill.
