Weekdays with Zest

Sometimes you just want to get away from it all. You want to stop staring out of the office window and actually get out. Especially when you know that once you get out of the city, the weather will be just perfect. The rains will have turned everything lush and green, the clouds will be hugging the mountain sides and the lakes will be full. Sounds about perfect. All you need is the right companion. That’s where the Tata Zest comes in. It’s the perfect partner that’s got everything you need.

But where to go? Since it’s the middle of the week in what is so incorrectly considered the ‘off-season’, you can actually choose a place that’s well known and rightly expect it to be deserted. Off to Nashik then. The roads are good, the place is not too far away, and what waits there makes it totally worthwhile.

So begins the drive towards peace and quiet. But that means first getting out of the city. Here’s where the Zest’s Multi-drive comes in handy. The City mode is the perfect choice here. It gives a good balance of fuel economy and delivers power when you need to overtake. The electronic power assisted steering wheel makes it effortless. Often, while darting in and out of traffic, one can easily overlook the potholes that the roads develop during the monsoon. But the Zest’s suspension deals with them easily and with that ground clearance, there’s no chance of it scraping anything either. Although getting some fresh air is one of the things to do on this getaway, letting the fully automatic AC keep the cabin nice and comfortable is the better choice while still within city limits.
