Don't go for TATA Cars

Dear reviewers,

I am using Manza since last two years and now about to sale it after 15,000 km running. There are few good things about TATA Manza like stylish Exterior design, good space, good comfort for long driving. But I think TATA has yet to understand that style and space are not the only things which will make TATA to stand in the market in front of their strong competitors like Maruti, VW, Hyundai, Renault-Nissan. PRODUCT QUALITY is the main thing  which TATA needs to understand seriously.

The very light weight manza while running on some non-leveling roads bounces terribly. If you don’t tie your seat belts, you need to hold tight, because of poor suspension.

 Though space and comfort are plus points, the quality of interior plastic is worst. It will never give you a rich feel. You will found thousands of gaps in  interior assemblies. I never understood few things on display like the temp. reading, as many times it shows the same in morning, afternoon and night , the millage shown on display varies from min 9 km/l to max 18 km/l , remaining km shown on display that car can run with remaining fuel  varies from 0 km to 500 km at various levels of fuel indicator, the display itself is of poor quality, all in all the different values shown on display will make you to think that really these  figures are true?

You have to pull hard the seat belts to tie up. It's exercise time. The gear box is not smooth while shifting. Sometime I have to push hard the reverse gear, it makes me very irritating. Millage is very poor which is @ 13 km/lit for a diesel variant on highway run and with A/C on. Manza also fails on climbing regions. Thanks to TATA gear box.

Since engine is from FIAT, it is good. I don’t think TATA can manufacture and reach up to that quality level of engine in next at least 10 yrs. 

One thing I must mention about it's handling. I found Manza good to handle in city and on highway aswell. But still, it will be better if steering would be electrically operated.

Over all if you are looking for a good sedan then never think of TATA Manza. It is waste of your time and money.  

Areas of improvement Plastic quality, Overall car assembly, suspension, gearbox, digital display and it's quality, millage, seat belts.

Please don’t waste your money.

Vishal.
