Tata Zest AMT long term review, second report

Steering easy to use in the city and not too light on the highway either.

Rear bench is wide enough to seat three abreast in comfort.

On the in-car entertainment front, the Harman-developed music system worked well to stream music from my phone and the passengers were all praises about the speakers. And talking of the other occupants in the car, the speakers weren’t the only thing they had to say good things about. They were pleasantly surprised to sit three abreast at the back and quite comfortably at that. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing and they did have an issue or two. They found the seat cushioning a bit too soft especially for long drives and also, were annoyed that none of the rear doors can hold a bottle.

Fortunately, the auto climate control system kept things cool in the cabin. At the end of the drive, I knew I was going to be using a lot more of this car. It’s decent in the city except for the minor AMT irritations, it’s good on the highway and it handles Indian roads like only a true Indian can. Watch out
for the next report on this nifty compact sedan.
