With the increasing traffic, it is not easy to drive a big car with manual transmission through the city. In order to make your daily commute easier so that you don’t have to keep your hand on the gearstick regularly automatic transmission cars are a good choice. Now, you might be wondering what these cars with an automatic transmission will cost you a fortune. In that case, you definitely need to know about Datsun Redi-go. So, if you are looking for an affordable car that will be a perfect fit for your daily commuting needs then use the automobiles offers. Also read along to find out why Redi-go might be the best option.
5 Reasons Why Datsun Redi-Go Is India's Best AMT Hatchback
#1 Fuel Efficient

The Datsun Redi-go comes with a 1.0l engine along with a 5-speed automatic transmission system. This combination provides the car, one of the best mileage in the category. By going 23Km/l the Redi-go is more efficient in the case of fuel when compared to some of the best manual transmission hatchbacks.
This along with the brand name of Datsun, the customers receive the ownership without any hassle and the driving experience is extremely pleasant.

#2 Buttery Driving Expiring
The automatic transmission of the Redi-go provides a smooth gear shifting experience. When it comes to automatic transmission one thinks of the head nods, which are minor jerks that are experienced while shifting the gears. The Redi-go tries to overcome this hitch with the help of its state-of-the-art gearbox. This selects the appropriate gears accurately and optimises the performance while providing a smooth ride and keeping the fuel consumption low. Driving on the busy city streets or cruising on a highway, both will be a pleasurable experience.

#3 Innovative Rush Mode
The automatic drive of Redi-go comes with the “Rush-mode” feature. Generally, this feature is present in the expensive cars. What it does is while in the “drive” mode, the car will move forward at a rate of 5-6 Km/h after you release the brakes. This makes it the perfect option to use in bumper-to-bumper movement in the rush hour. The manual drive requires you to constantly use the accelerator and the brake to move forward in this situation. Whereas, in the Redi-go all you need is the brake.

#4 Dual Driving Mode
One of the best things about Redi-go is the dual driving mode which lets you use the vehicle in manual transmission mode. This lets the driver shift up or shift down the gears using the gear stick. If you want to be in control while using the peppy 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder engine of the Redi-go then this is a perfect choice for you.

#5 Great Features for the Price
With a great ground clearance of 185mm and a large cabin space, the Redi-go is one of the most practical automatic vehicles that you can get. With the driver-side airbag and the LED DRLs of the S variant along with the power windows and central locking feature with the remote key makes it the perfect choice if you are looking for an affordable automatic transmission car.

Conclusion
With a price tag ranging from ₹2.5 lakhs to ₹4 lakh, the car is not only one of the most affordable vehicles in the hatchback category but it is a perfect fit for city usage thanks to the automatic transmission and the “Rush-hour” mode. With the tag of Datsun, one of the popular Japanese automobile manufacturer it is going to be one of the most amazing deals that you can get.

Apart from purchasing a house, the next big purchase any individual would make is that of a vehicle. While numerous purchases are made on an impulse, these two big ticket items definitely need a lot of consideration. The experience of purchasing both these items can be overwhelming and narrowing down the search for the one most suitable for your family and you will be huge financial as well as emotional decision. With our recent experience of getting our new car, I can assure you it is a huge task. My husband and I did a lot of research put in several weeks of showroom visits, test drives and comparing costs to finally arrive at a decision. If you are in a similar situation, ensure you take each step after careful consideration as this purchase is not fully refundable.

Research Information
The first thing to do when you start the process is research research research! When we first thought about getting a new car, we looked and looked for options that would suit a family of six, that would have plenty of boot space, that would have the features we needed and most importantly that would be in our budget. We spoke to friends, visited showrooms, looked up reviews on automobile sites like Cars.com and went on test drives too, to find the right product for us. 

Calculate Budget
With easy access to credit lines, one is often swayed beyond their budgets. An important aspect we kept in mind while looking for a new car was not only the maximum amount we were willing to spend on the vehicle but also insurance, maintenance and other miscellaneous costs associated with it. 

Driving Capabilities
Prior to deciding, test drive a car for a minimum of 15-20 minutes through a familiar route. Hubby made me drive both the versions of the car we were planning on purchasing through light and heavy traffic to ensure my comfort. We parked and remarked not only en-route but also in our parking lot for surety. 

If you are looking for help choosing your very own new vehicle or you have a great tip that will help make the decision feel free to drop them in the comments below. 

Until next time,

Ask a woman what really makes her happy and you’ll receive a prompt reply from her - splurging on fashion and beauty. The luxury literally rolls the ‘R’s off the tongue just as the French would drawl at the sight of high heels and designer dresses. However, I am one of the very few women who belong to the 'live to eat' camp, and thus my splurges are simple indulges in food.

Indulgence through food is one of the most vital parts of my existence; it soothes my soul and delights my eyes. However, I figured that the key to making this work is to give in to little indulgences while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The best way to indulge in tempting food is to start our day on a healthy note with some amazing breakfast options. 


My mom had created a spectacular world of aromas, flavours and rainbow of colours over the years. However, I’m nowhere close to replicating the same and thus, I indulge in the next best option. 
I experiment from pillar to post, century-old cafes to modern food joints to the classic sit down, and thereby, I bring you the five best breakfast places in the city of Mumbai.


Indigo Deli
The Deli has been on the list of must-visit places of numerous food enthusiasts. The breakfast spread is a delight with an ethereal combination of flavours, aromas and quality consistency. Pack in the waffles and pancakes, feast on the French toast and you will be making plans to come back soon. 

Candies
The perfect place to indulge in international flavours, in an Indian way. Candies has been serving awesomeness for the last two decades with their regularly updated menu items of eclectic food creations. Fill in on their vegetable curry rolls and chocolate milkshake to kick-start your day.


Fat Man’s Cafe
An ideal place for the health conscious person, Fat Man’s Cafe offers a list of healthy breakfast items. Try the staple on the healthy menu or indulge in some great waffles and pancakes that make a complete perfect breakfast. The cafe is a visual delight that offers great food with a great ambience at a relatively decent price. 

Theobroma
Don’t blame the British for the generation’s choice of the classic English breakfast of perfectly backed brownies, tea cakes and puddings munched with a smooth mocha. The breakfast served with baked beans, mashed potatoes and toast is the most optimum way to start your day with being rejuvenated.


Cafe Basilico
Catch the flavours of the Mediterranean and European palette at Cafe Basilio. Enjoy their freshly brewed coffees and teas, and bite into the freshly baked bread. A perfect spot to enjoy great food, blend into the Victorian culture while gorging on cream and spinach topped bread rolls and crispy English muffins.

So what really makes these particular joints stand out? 
A very basic yet important factor - the exclusivity of the products offered. The type of filter coffee you will find at Madras Cafe is rare to be found elsewhere. Similarly, it will be impossible to savour at another eatery those very pancakes that were relished at Indigo Deli. 


That’s what great brands do… Get you to indulge in Exclusivity.


Likewise, the limited edition Dzire Allure from Maruti Suzuki comes equipped with enhanced comfort features and promises an exclusive experience which welcomes you to a lovelier world. It’s premium dual tone seat covers, elegant interior styling kit, stylish body graphics and an all new metal will tantalise you and teleport you to a world of exclusivity.

Don’t believe me?

This June get ready for the launch of a car that is as easy to drive as a hatchback, yet as sturdy as a sports utility vehicle.  With a promise like that, the Japanese automaker Nissan is bringing its newest offering the Datsun redi-Go, the ultimate Urban Cross to the Indian shoreS.

Taking a leaf out of PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Made In India’ concept, the car is fully designed and developed in the country, perfectly catering to the Indian urban population. The highlight of the vehicle is that it is a crossover coupled with a hatchback to give riders a dream machine to zip around. Living in a city that never sleeps, a city that is practically zipping around day or night, the Datsun redi-Go Urban Cross seems perfect for us Mumbaikars; especially with a winning combination of leg space, ground clearance, fuel efficiency and speed-sensitivity. 
Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO
The capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

The features that stand out about the car for me during the first look are the following: 

Unique Design; a perfect fusion of a compact crossover and an urban hatchback 

The Datsun redi-Go is a forward-thinking styled car backed by Yukan Design (brave and bold) that would be difficult to miss. A wide robust exterior balanced with a spacious overall interior; a smooth and sleek silhouette characterised by a lean and dynamic car structure. The Datsun redi-Go offers the best of both the worlds to navigate in.


Superior Performance; a new platform characterising power


The Datsun redi-Go is a mean machine that is powered by an all-new, fuel-efficient 0.8L (800cc), three-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission; and a suspension capable of balancing handling and ride comfort. The mall turning radius ensures a full-turn around capability of 4.7 metre ensuring manoeuvrability in smaller places. Additionally, the speed-sensitive electric power steering allows for more control even at higher speeds.

Price Delight; a competitive cost edge

The Datsun redi-Go is pegged to be priced between Rs. 3.5 lakh and 4.5 lakh; with ex-showroom prices and variant prices to be announced later this month. Customers can pre-book the Datsun redi-GO with a down payment of INR 5,000 at 217 Nissan dealerships outlets across 165 cities in India. In a first of its kind initiative, the car-maker will open online bookings for the Datsun redi-GO through India’s leading commerce platform Snapdeal.com. 

Nissan had outdone itself with the Datsun redi-GO. It will appeal to most buyer due to its amazing design, projected ride quality, competitive price tag, Japanese technology and the Nissan brand name. Compared to the competitors, the Datsun redi-GO will surely zip ahead and reach the finishing line victorious.

Just as Mr. Guillaume Sicard, President – Nissan India Operations, has reflected on the company's growth strategy with a view of their commitment to local engineering, development and manufacturing. He emphasised that the Datsun redi-GO is a tangible expression of this commitment, that offers several best-in-class capabilities, is fun, free and confident take on an otherwise traditional segment. I'm looking forward to zipping around in this new wonder in the chaotic city of Mumbai!

I'm looking forward to test-drive this beauty and hoping it delivers on all the promises. Are you?

Tata Motors Launches Tata Zica In Goa, Auto Review

When I received the invite for the Tata Zica Launch in Goa, I just couldn't hide my excitement. The only thing stopping me was leaving my little princess behind in care of others. But that’s when the man in shining armour came to my rescue and I literally ran out of the house to catch my flight.

Tata Motors Launches Tata Zica In Goa, Auto Review

The day began with a challenge when my booked cab did not arrive and I had to rely on the #Mumbai auto rickshaw to get to the airport; and that was the beginning of all things #madeofgreat. In a few hours I arrived at Alila Diwa in Goa. What followed was an awesome weekend full of fun, awesomeness and loads of surprises for all of us. Over the two days I had many experiences and here's what shone through:

DESIGN

The initiative taken by Tata Motors was a sure shot winner right from the onset. A program outlined for India's top 50 bloggers to experience the hospitality, technology, innovation all at once with a chance to drive the brand new ZICA much before the entire world can get their hands on it. Honestly I felt humbled and definitely most privileged to be part of such a wonderful pool of talent from across the country; flown out from our respective cities into the hottest location in the country, Goa to be treated like royalty is nothing short of a dream vacation. The activities lined up for us were not only informative but also exciting and fun to executive. What started with a warm informal blogger session with the team anchored by Anoop and then Cyrus, followed up by an informative Masterclass by a panel of knowledgeable experts.

Being able to hear the passion in the voices of the brains behind the marvel at a specially organized class was wonderful. The program though a bit tight in schedule was perfectly in sync that helped us get the best out of it. Truly Spectacular! A fun beach tour and dinner later off we were to dream about the Zica to wake up the next day to get our hands on the super sleek vehicle. With Flag Off almost on time, we began the drive; an exhilarating ride with what we do best; take up challenges and go crazy on social media. A mention is warranted for both the Tata and Indiblogger teams for an innovative approach to a blogger program and the way they strived to achieve excellence in the event flow is highly commendable. 

DRIVE

Oh where do I begin? It was the moment all of us were waiting for, and after much wait it arrived early Sunday morning. A brief about the controls and the must try features and we were set to hit the road. It was a treat to try every new feature available. Switching modes, switching from the driving to passenger seats, exploring the vehicle inside out, stopping at scenic places to take pictures and super selfies and made it a #Fantastico drive.

With the Tata Motors social media fans throwing numerous challenges at the teams, it was fun to execute crazy tasks trying to outdo each other from time to time. Unfortunately as time began flying as a team; Prasad, Shifa and myself decided that we should concentrate more on the drive than just competing for the tasks and so we did about 10 of the 30 tasks and then just drove around to enjoy the drive. 

CONNECT

The blogging world is all about relationships and what better way to connect than at a meet? What I really loved about the Tata Zica #Fantastico Blogger Meet was the way they brought the blogging community together to enjoy not only the product but also the company of other bloggers. The fact that we were referred to as the top 50 bloggers of the country brought wonderful happy smiles on all our faces time and again. Not only were Tata Motors forthcoming and helpful in resolving our queries, trying to fulfill our requests but also were willing to walk that extra mile to help us achieve the objective of the event.

Meets are usually organized by numerous brands but in a way that it becomes competitive amongst the bloggers, however Team Tata and Team Indiblogger both gave each of us the space, attention and the respect that we deserve. The meet has helped me connect with bloggers, Indiblogger and Team Tata in a very personal committed manner, strengthening our ties and forming friendships like never before.

On my way home, I was thinking to myself that Tata Motors should continue organising these meets. After all I've done the Tata Zest, Tata Bolt and now three times lucky the Tata Zica meet too. I had the most fabulous weekend, and you? Tell me what was #Fantastico about your weekend and I'll send some lovely Goa souvenirs your way. 


Until soon,

Home Is Where The Heart Is, #ZoneWest's Amchi Mumbai

When someone asks me what my city has to offer I face a huge dilemma between two phrases that aptly describe the city of Mumbai. Ironically the ‘city of dreams’ is also the ‘city that never sleeps’ and thats what defines Mumbai so beautifully. 

Being born in the nation’s financial, cultural and entertainment capital I’ve seen how dreams make this city tick. Some would argue that it is by far the most densely populated city, a far cry from what one would define as a suitable city to live in, the non-existent infrastructure and the chaos in the routine making it a nightmare to endure. But hang on, the benefits outweigh the limitations. Mumbai gives you what no other city can; a chance to live your dreams. Be it a millionaire driving past marine drive or a common man sitting on the promenade, Mumbai gives them the same opportunities to make life what they want it to be. 

Mumbai is driven as a never-say-die battlefield, that pushes the limits with hard work, risks and persistence. The fact that the city has opened its doors to more than the traditional forms of education, employment and entertainment is proof enough to the testament it swears by to create a forward thinking, hands-on and life-loving experiences. The city allows you to be what you want to be, given that you have the zeal to drive continuously to put your dream in first gear. 

Mumbai is designed as an all-inclusive dreamland, that gives you wings to fly and chase your dreams. The fact that the city is over-populated gives enough evidence of something special it has in it to welcomes people from all over into its fold and the moulds them from being expats to residents. The physical and cultural design encourages people to come together and share their success, happiness, fear and failure with the city’s out-of-the-way efforts and hospitality. 

Mumbai is connected with an invisible thread, that reaches out to take a hand and begin a journey and go on to build the strongest ties. Just the manner in which the seven independent islands of Bombay came together to make what Mumbai is today, the city brings in all its diversity to become a gorgeous land parcel. The connect the city offers between dreams and actions, between ability and reach, between aspirations and paths is astoundingly real and achievable. 

Mumbai is nothing like anything, because when I wake up and look out of the window I don’t see a crumbling palace. I see the ambition of drive at St.Xaviers, I see the beauty of design at Kala Ghoda and I see the business connect at powerhouses like Tata Motors. I've shuttled around the world, lived in four out of seven continents and experienced over a hundred cities but nothing comes close to Amchi Mumbai. Why? Because during the #ZonalWars the World becomes the body while #ZoneWest’s Mumbai beats as it’s heart.
