I have owned many cars in the last 20 years. Starting from Maruti 800 in 1997, Chevrolet Spark-2008, Maruti ritz VDI-2011, Honda city I-vtec 2013, Honda Mobilio I-dtec 2015, WagonR VXI 2018, and Ford freestyle 1.2 T+ 2019 Jan. Of all these cars, I have found Ford freestyle to be the best combination of economy and performance. Have driven the FS for 2 years 20000 kms. The confidence one gets while driving the car is awesome. The safety features offered are from a class above. With TCS, ESP, ARP, EBD, and six airbags, u get a feeling of being in the tank. OEM tyres of Goodyear do a great job. The car is an absolute beast slayer on twisty mountain roads. The confidence with which it takes corners is altogether at a different level. Even the fortuners and innovas cannot dare to come anywhere near this car. You can easily carve a corner at speed of 80+ without the tyres screeching and without applying any brakes. And all this while attaining a fuel efficiency of 18+.
Now coming to the service cost. Ford does as promised on their website and normal service costs do not exceed the cost advertised.

Despite the "cheapest car" tag, the Nano is actually the best example of Engineering ingenuity and is a true Marvel. My Nano has seen and been to all sorts of roads in and around Tamil Nadu. Every drive has been pure bliss. Although there's not a surplus of power, it can easily cope up and satisfy you on everyday drives. Bare minimum maintenance costs, yearly once service, easiest to park and navigate in the City. It's also seriously capable off road with the all independent suspension setup. The steering is a breeze too. Stability is decent even at Highway speeds
and long overnight drives are cakewalk. With larger 13 inch wheels, it's even more comfortable and capable than before.
The stock audio system is good enough with 4 Harman speakers, there are Power windows and remote locking too. What more you need?
Wish Tata brings back the Nano with a more powerful engine and better brakes.
My experience with the Beast is of Next Level. I have driven it around 8000+ KMs Since November 2019. The SUV has has really scored well in almost every sector, be it Design, looks, build quality, Comfort level, Premiumness, Drivability, amazing Suspension tuning done by Lotus or the Harman tuned Infotainment system to make your long drives even more fun. I have driven it till date in almost every sort of terrain, be it city roads, highways, muddy patches or off roading, my machine has never disappointed me. Now i really look for even a smallest excuse to enjoy its
company.

I have purchase tata harrier in December 2019 and my experience with this car is awesome, it makes me feels me like I am driving a luxurious car like Fortuner but some small enhancement should have been done like 4*4 drive option, automatic drive option, and the head lamp should be white in colour also sunroof in 2019 model should be given by the company. Overall experience was satisfactory...
