Motoring Milestone
A momentous milestone meterialized this Monday when the odometer of my ever-faithful Matiz ticked over the 50000 mark. Its been one month shy of 5 years now since I possessed her, and its been an endearing journey ever since. Production may have ceased, the company may be defunct, but my love for it know no bounds. Its sexy, its faithful, its frugal(havent given me many tantrums, except for some minor snags recently) and its easy to drive around in Bangalore.
Many a time, I've been tempted by all and sundry to "upgrade". The incumbents may be many, but it will take a Matiz-beater to break my resolve of not parting with my cutie, and I dont see even a scent of anything like that coming...
On her 5th birthday (falling on April 14th), I plan to give her the perfect gift - a new dress (paint job) and a bright pair of footwear (alloys and tubeless). Thats the least I could give in return for all the demands I have made to her and the travails she had been put through.
While the nostalgia still lingers, my initial impressions and feelings about the car which I have documented at http://www.mouthshut.com/review/Matiz-28894-1.html comes rushing to mind...
GM India has been tantalizingly tardy in bringing the new Matiz to India. That would be an uncompromising upgrade!

The missile did not miss the target at all. But pardon me, I am searching my brain for which Aravind this could be... :-)
