May be they are no as reliable as the one shone in the article. If the motors carry a Tata badge it does not mean they are the best.

Yes. You are right. However, Fiat's after sales service is not the best. I am sure you would agree with me. I had a Palio Sportz long back. Because of the service issue, i got rid of it.
This episode would caution prospective buyers. Two "real estate brokers" in Vikhroli, Mumbai, had set a broker firm called Singh & Sinha Estates.
The outward activity was - identify property for buyers and sellers for the usual commission.
The actual activity was - IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE HAVING CASH ( ACCOUNTED OR UNNACCOUNTED ) OR GOOD LIQQUID ASSETS AND PASS ON THE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM TO CHHOTA SHAKEEL'S GANG. IT IS SAID THEY HAVE OPERATED FOR OTHER GANGS. ONCE THE INFORMATION ON ADDRESS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE ( THIS IS FOUND OUT WHEN THEY CONFIRM THE PROPERTY THEY WISH TO PURCHASE ), THE GANG ACTS BY KIDNAPPING ONE FAMILY MEMBER FOR RANSOM.
IN FACT NOW IT IS THAT MANY OTHER BROKERS HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS TRADE - ACTING AS DATABASE OR INFORMER FOR UNDERWORLD.
DO NOT DEAL WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS IF YOU CAN. IF YOU HAVE NO CHOICE THEN SELECT THEM VERY VERY CAREFULLY! OR YOU WILL LOSE WHATEVER YOU HAVE.
MOST IMPORTANT - IT HAS STARTED IN BOMBAY. SOON IT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR CITY/TOWN AS WELL, GUYS!!

This is shocking. It appears we have very few people to trust. But then , there must be an alternative to avoid this.
In coming years all Cars will be off the roads; if on roads they would be struck in traffic jams. I started using two wheeler to go to office. Its better; i can sneak out through small passages easily; while my car riders honk desperately to get some movement. :)

But it's dangerous too to drive a 2wheeler on a long drive. With the increasing incident of drunken driving almost everyday, it's not safe. For that matter it's not safe to even drive a 4 wheeler.
