I once sat in the original model at my full grown height. I was like...WHAT IS THIS? A CAR FOR MIDGETS?#nooffensetomidgets

lol 1st one was actually a import from Japan. 2nd gen one they actually made it in India, more according to our heights 😀 almost :tongue:

yup. i am talking about the import edition. it was so cramped. man. i have no idea how people drove it. i mean some of them probably 'upgraded' from ambassador or padmini both of which are/were quite spacious in comparison.
