FAIL OF THE CENTURY #220: FORD ECOSPORT

When it comes to 'not serving up steaming clangers', Ford hasn't dropped the ball too often this century (at least compared with, say, Peugeot, who spent a large chunk of the Noughties seemingly unable to pick up the ball in the first place). Which was why the EcoSport - introduced to Britain in 2014 - came as such an unpleasant surprise.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON..

And while you’re at it, I strongly recommend a visit to the Kia dealership to explore a captivating variant of the Seltos. Yes, it comes at a premium of around a lakh and twenty thousand over the Grand Vitara, and by no means is that a trivial amount. But consider the benefits.

KIA SELTOS DAMAN DELIGHTS

How much is too much? When one tends to plan a road trip or pack for one. Just how much is too much? For some of us, too much is never enough. Be it our luggage or our mode of transport.

I intend to explore those features on my little road trip to Daman. A bit more on that later, but for now, let’s talk about the star of the show.

Over the horizon, there was quite nothing like it.

Ever since we started driving, we've been looking. You may not realise you've been looking, but you have. The trouble is we never find it. Well, I've found it. The NA-137. The GMA T.50. The road. And the car. And that's it. That's what I'd do with my final tank of fuel.
