Many Indian car enthusiasts and families have a soft corner for the Maruti Zen. It was the first car for many, or the car they learned to drive in. It was small enough to easily snake through busy city streets, and it had a peppy enough engine to enjoy good highway trips. The Zen wasn’t just a means of transport, it was a companion on countless journeys to the family, to the office and back. For years its reliability and the ease of maintenance made it a constant presence in many homes. It asks people to come forward with personal stories and nostalgic recollections of the Zen, no matter how funny or even if the Zen simply brings a smile to your face.
