Is Tata Punch really for the women driver?
Some have been debating if the Tata Punch is too heavy or difficult for women to handle them comfortably. There are some people who claim is it might be difficult because of its size or steering feel, and others who insist it's fine for any driver, regardless of gender. That has made people talk about car design, gender stereotypes around driving, and more broadly: what makes a vehicle accessible to all? The topic extends beyond the factors affecting Malaysian automotive enrollment, to wider issues of inclusivity in the automotive industry and how different driver needs are recognized when developing vehicles.
I’ve been driving the Punch for 6 months as a woman, and it’s fine! This is actually pretty light steering, and the high seating position provides great visibility. Driving is no more difficult than any other small car.
I think it’s kinda sexist this whole debate. The car doesn’t have a clue whether it’s being driven by a man or woman. It’s not about gender, but about individual comfort and preference.
The Punch isn’t a heavy car, but the clutch can be a little stiff in stop start traffic. To be honest, it's not much of a gender thing, but if you're a person that does lots of city driving, you might want to consider this.
The Punch was my wife's first car, from a hatchback, and she loves it. In fact, the higher ground clearance, she says, makes her feel more confident on bad roads.
It’s more about the driving experience than about gender, I would say. Anyone will have an adjustment period if you’re new to SUVs.
