Owner- Ankit Manjariya
Mera naam Ankit Manjariya hai. Main regular city driving ke saath hi 3000-4000 km ki long road trips ka bhi karta hu, aur pichle 3 saalon me apni Tata Punch ko lagbhag 35,000 KM tak alag-alag road conditions me chala chuka hoon.
3 saal lagbhag 35,000 KM chalane ke baad agar mujhe Tata Punch ke baare me ek hi line bolni ho, to main kahunga:
“Ye gaadi horsepower se zyada confidence deti hai.”
Aur sach me Indian roads par kai baar confidence hi sabse important cheez hoti hai.
Maine Tata Punch ko sirf office ya city driving ke liye use nahi kiya. Pichle kuch saalon me ye mere saath Dharamshala, Manali, Rohtang Pass, Gangotri, Nainital aur Mussoorie jaise pahadi safaron par bhi gayi hai. In routes par kabhi smooth highways mile, kabhi broken mountain roads aur kabhi aise patches jahan road kam aur trail zyada lagti thi.
Isi wajah se mujhe lagta hai ki ab main Punch ke baare me show walo ki trha nahi balki ownership wali baat kar sakta hoon.
Pahadon Me Tata Punch Ka Performance Kaisa Hai?
Jab maine Punch kharidi thi, tab sabse bada sawaal ye tha ki 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine pahadon me kaisa perform karega. Kai log aisa bhi bolte the ki is car me power nahi hai ye under power hai bilkul.
Lekin 35,000 KM baad iska jawab kaafi clear hai.
Seedhi baat karu to Agar aap aggressive driving ya racing mindset lekar nahi chal rahe, to Punch pahadon me surprisingly capable gaadi hai.
Rohtang Pass aur Gangotri jaise routes par poori family aur full luggage ke saath bhi gaadi ne mujhe kabhi aisa feel nahi karaya ki ye struggle kar rahi hai. Haan wo baat alag hai ki steep climbs par gear selection thoda dhyan se karna padta hai, lekin ye baat almost har naturally aspirated petrol car par lagu hoti hai.
Ground clearance yahan sabse bada hero ban jata hai.
Kai jagah aise patches aaye jahan mujhe neeche lagne ki tension hi nahi hui. Agar aap regularly hill stations ya rough roads par travel karte hain, to Punch ka high ground clearance ownership kaafi stress kam kar deta hai.
Hairpin bends par steering halka lagta hai aur visibility bhi achhi milti hai. Is wajah se pahadi driving kaafi relaxed feel hoti hai.
Suspension- Is Gaadi Ki Sabse Badi Strength
Aaj bhi agar koi mujhse pooche ki Punch ki sabse badi quality kya hai, to mera jawab sirf ek hoga:
Suspension.
Hamare desh ki roads ki jo halat hai usko dekhte hue lagta hai jaise Tata ne is gaadi ko specially hamare conditions ke liye tune kiya ho.
Gaon ke roads, gaddhe, broken highways, pahadi patches aur speed breakers sabhi ko Punch in sabko kaafi maturity ke saath handle karti hai.
Kai baar long drive ke baad mujhe realize hua ki fatigue expected se kaafi kam thi. Cabin ke andar jhatke aate hain, lekin suspension unhe kaafi had tak absorb kar leta hai.
3 saal ki ownership ke baad bhi ye quality mujhe sabse zyada impress karti hai.
Mileage Ne Mujhe Surprise Kiya
Petrol SUV jaisi body aur hill driving ko dekhte hue maine mileage ke mamle me bahut zyada expectations nahi rakhi thi.
Lekin kai hill trips me full load aur luggage ke saath bhi mujhe 18-19 kmpl ke aas-paas mileage mila.
Highway par smooth driving karne par numbers aur improve ho jate hain.
Wiase to mileage driving style, traffic aur terrain par depend karta hai, lekin overall ownership experience me Punch ne mujhe fuel efficiency ke mamle me disappoint nahi kiya.
Safety Aur Build Quality Ka Confidence
Specification sheet ki baat alag hai, lekin ownership me jo confidence feel hota hai wo zyada important hota hai.
Punch ka driving position thoda commanding feel deta hai. Doors band karte waqt jo solid feeling aati hai, wo bhi confidence badhati hai.
Highways aur pahadon dono jagah mujhe kabhi aisa nahi laga ki gaadi lightweight ya unstable feel kar rahi hai.
Road presence bhi compact size ke hisab se kaafi achhi hai.
Ab Baat Karte Hain Un Cheezon Ki Jo Mujhe Pasand Nahi Aayi
Koi bhi gaadi perfect nahi hoti aur Punch bhi uska exception nahi hai.
1. AC Chalne Par Pickup Me Farq Mehsoos Hota Hai
Ye point maine ownership ke shuruati dino se notice kiya tha.
Jab AC full load par chal raha hota hai, especially garmi me, to engine par uska asar dikhne dikhne lagta hai. Pickup thoda soft lagne lagta hai aur acceleration pehle jaisa responsive nahi rehta. Daily driving me ye badi problem nahi hai, lekin yeh feel jarur hota hai.
Ek aur observation ye rahi ki jab gaadi neutral me khadi ho aur AC chal raha ho, to cooling moving condition ke comparison me thodi kam effective lagti hai. Ya yeh sirf meri gadi me hi kuch problem hai ki cooling band ya kam ho jaati hai. Mere alawa dusre punch owners ne bhi yeh chez mehsus ki hai ki jab gadi neutral me hoti hai to ac cooling nahi karta.
2. Turbo Engine Hota To Aur bhi Mazza Aata
Normal driving ke liye punch ka yeh engine kaafi hai.
Lekin jab highway par quick overtake karna ho ya gaadi full load me ho, tab kabhi kabhi mujhe aisa lagta hai ki is gadi me thodi extra power mil jaye to experience aur better ho sakta tha Isi wajah se mujhe kai baar turbo engine option ki kami mehsus hui.
Ye complaint un logon ko zyada samajh aayegi jo highways par frequent overtaking karte hain.
3. Rear Seat Space Average Hai
Ye meri sabse practical complaint hai. Front seats comfortable hain aur driver ko achha space milta hai. Lekin rear passengers ke liye legroom segment me best nahi kaha ja sakta. Jin bhi logo ki height 5.10 ya 6 feet hogi unhe tata punch me rear legroom ki kami jarur lagi hogi.
Agar apki car Normal family use me koi dikkat nahi aati, lekin agar piche regularly lambe height wale adults baithte hain to long journey me thoda compromise feel ho sakta hai.
35000 KM Baad Kya Main Tata Punch Dobara Kharidunga?
Yeh ek bahad Interesting question hai.
Agar meri priority ho:
- Safety
- Ground clearance
- Suspension comfort
- Hill station trips
- Family usage
- Reliable daily driving
To mera jawab hoga haan.
Agar meri priority ho:
- Fast acceleration
- Turbo performance
- Rear seat space
To main dusre options bhi zaroor dekhunga. Jaise ki Nexon, Fronx etc
Lekin overall package ke roop me Punch ne mujhe disappoint nahi kiya.
3 saal aur 35,000 KM ke baad bhi ye gaadi mujhe ek dependable travel partner lagti hai. Dharamshala se lekar Rohtang Pass aur Gangotri tak isne mujhe kabhi road par pareshan nahi kiya.
Aur shayad isi wajah se aaj bhi jab kisi trip ki planning hoti hai, mujhe gaadi ki capability ko lekar tension nahi hoti.
