There was much buzz around the launch of the MG Comet, the smallest passenger electric car that people can buy in India. Surprising as it might be, it took me until now to get my hands on it. When I was given the reins (read keys) to the Comet, I was more than eager to find out how the experience would be.
Even though the car has been in the market for a while, it still manages to draw the attention of the crowds around. Stop at a red light and turn your head from left to right and there will surely be people staring at this little mechanical marvel. As for the drive experience, you have three different modes and the car feels very peppy when you put it in Sport. Even with three people on board, I did not find it to be lethargic for city runs. Speaking of which, both me and my family members, did not find the Comet impractically compact when it comes to interior seating space.
As a tall person, my biggest gripe with the car was the high seating. Since the top of the windshield is just above my head, the inside rear view mirror falls squarely in my vision when looking left. This can sometimes create a blindspot when you are turning, forcing you to do some neck yoga to try and look beyond it. The other thing that I noticed was how much of the shock from the road undulations make it to the cabin. If you are driving alone, perhaps you will not mind it as much, but your co-passengers definitely will.
