Objectivity, above all else, is the hardest part of my job. Let me put it in perspective. In my case the Swift was the first enthusiast's car Id ever driven. The first time I'd experienced fluent steering communication on the twisties, the first time I felt the rear get loose and control it on opposite lock. The Swift diesel was my first taste of a car with a delicious kick...

Despite being the staple of taxi fleets all over the country it still is very popular among private buyers. How then...

I remember when I drove the Nissan Sunny in India for the first time and came back to office. Apart from everyone going 'sunny side-up' ten thousand times, the joookes on the ad were wearing thin. So the banter shifted to guessing the price. Everyone put the car in the seven lakh plus category, considering the features it had. But when Nissan announced the price a week later, it was...
