If space is the only aspect u are looking at, then go for it. But for a buyers, i know many things matter. The looks, comfort, engine, interiors,maintenance cost...the list is endless. If you say, i am being harsh on the
vehicle, then there is a valid reason behind it.I bought a Tata Sumo SE 2000 model in Jan 2000 and sold it in July 2005.Drove it for six months till I found a crack in the chassis frame. Contacted the local dealer immediately for repair, who expressed his helplessness. Had to wait for almost three months for a chassis to be shipped from Thane for a replacement done free of charge as it was a manufacturing defect. Then there was a recurring allignment problem with the front tyres.Repairing costs of tyres was pretty unbearable. My vehicle covered over 2lakh km and I have faced numerous problems with the same but I've listed only the major probles Ive faced. I wouldn't reccommend the vehicle to anyone.
