Rode in one of these in Lucerne, Switzerland a few years back (it was a taxi) Good interiors, Good NVH, Nice interiors & really quirky to look at

Really enjoyed myself though!!

WOW!! This is one of the most odd looking cars sold now.
Nice to see it roaming around in Mumbai.

Yup,I've seen this one a couple of times near Lilawati hospital,Bandra Reclamation.I bet this car must be getting a lot of attention on the roads.It looks much more striking than the pictures suggest.Will try to click some pictures the next time i see it.

Have seen this Nissan March but in the orange shade quite a few times around Bandra as well.Its an oddball as well.

Nope thats not Bandra.

Its a bit weird to see how people import these cars which are otherwise just regular cars in other countries.

i forgot to add.. its a flop in the uk cos its not slotted in the right price bracket and renault has too many models in the same bracket confusing the consumer. i heard its gonna get discontinued or something!
