This senses any rapid throttle lift - off and initiates a small brake hydraulic pressure build - up in anticipation of the brakes being applied, to give
better pedal response and slightly shorter stopping distances.
Brakes rely on an electric motor rather than engine vacuum to generate hydraulic pressure for
better pedal response, feel, and stopping power.

response is
good for easy rev - matching.
About the engine, some people criticize his low
response (full economy is very
good), but for me I think this model isn't a sports car (and this engine is enough for the 80 % of the drivers), but when you step on the accelerator
pedal thoroughly and use the gearbox he have a
good acceleration and a racing sound (and losing your fuel economy).
Tata Motors engineers have gone for a deeper final drive ratio, a different calibration for the engine as

In fact, one of the more troublesome aspects of our week with the Pathfinder was its tetchy throttle
