Ganpati Ulhas Shanbag drove from his home in Thane (MH) to his native place in Mangalore (KA) with wife and child on Friday, 11th September 2020.
Car owned: Tata Nexon, registered in September 2020.
He followed the 'Indian Roadie Preferred Route' for Thane to Mangalore, viz.
Thane - Pune - Satara - Belgaum - Hubli - Gokarna - Murudeshwar - Kundapur - Marvanthe Beach - Udupi - Mangalore.
The drive was mostly on National Highways. Road condition was not bad. However due to heavy rain some parts were affected and repair work was being done.
Total distance (home to home): Slightly over 1200 kms.
Time of departure from Thane: 5.00 am.
Time of arrival in Mangalore: 9.30 pm.
Total duration: 16.5 hrs.
The family carried chapati, bhaji, tea, coffee and water bottles. They only stopped for breakfast, lunch, refuelling and biological breaks. Most importantly they carried a dustbin to throw garbage rather than making other places dirty.
Being a brand new car, Ganpati Ulhas Shanbag went on to add a small review of his worthy possession:
Prior to buying the Nexon, he had a Maruti Suzuki Swift 2015 model. He has admitted that initially he felt immense lag in the Nexon. Throughout the journey he never went beyond 80 kmph. He observed that the fuel mileage was 15.9 kmpl in the MID. While calculating by the tankful to tankful method the fuel economy was surprisingly the same.
He covered the total distance of 1200 kms in 16.5 hours, drive was good, seats are very comfortable, clutch was much softer than what he could imagine, felt no tiredness during journey, felt fresh and happy even after driving for so many hours.
The owner's final verdict: Overall a pretty good car.
