General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever owned in India. Very fast 145.45 cc motor. It is 2-stroke and air-cooled. It comes with 6.25 horsepower fastest auto rickshaw ever produced. 4.63 torque lets me pull a cart of milk or hay from one place to another. I used this car for my sisters wedding. Perfect car for wedding purpose. Very big fuel tank, 8 litres. It only uses leaded petrol and diesel fuel. My front and rear suspension are Helical coil spring and hydraulic double acting shock absorbers. Maximum speed is 35 km per hour - the rocket of the road.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Is the Bajaj made in India?

Four blown head gaskets in 11K is pretty abysmal.

AHAHAHAHAHA, rocket of the road at only 35km/h for max speed? Oh dear... oh dear...

Is turbo-charging an option?

Ideal transport for those who don't want a brown Datsun Bluebird...

Is this some kind of joke? What exactly is being reviewed here? Car? Scooter? Or an auto rickshaw?
