The car was big hit when launched in early 90's so much so that if people saw its pictures in newspapers they use to cut it and keep somewhere. Despite of popularity did not do so well in consumer market coz of its cost abd costed a little around 300000 rs. In those times people didnt had so many jobs not so much money too so they were happily driving maruti 800, then tata remRketed the product in commercial vehicle segment and till date they didnt look back. Now even if you buy for your personal use people start thinking if you will b d next canwale bhaiyya. Lesser on maintanence but no driving comfort whatsoever. Good till you goto work and come home. Also known as dog catching vehicle then all dogs are dropped at office, they bark for 9 hours continuisly and then you are dropped off.
