Buying experience: it was october when tata had rolled out teaser for the harrier and from then i had an eye on the,and then in the december end,the car was unvieled,i was like realy!is it a tata.watched a lot of reviews and most of them claimed an on road of 21 lakhs and i was like okay this is something big on pocket,but when it was launched,it was 18.5 on road(1.5-2lakh)less than the expected thus it was something serious to be considered
Riding experience: it really feels like a good proper suv which is easy to drive and much better than the pseudo suvs in the market,though nvh was not so great as expected as engine noise was on a little high note(not-deal breaking as you'll become used to it) and steering,gear were on a buzz at idle but as the car gained speed it was normal and for my liking it was rather good as i was getting that old school feel in a ultra modern car
Details about looks, performance etc: looks are just spectacular from outside,some people are complaining about boring design and small size of the wheels but in real it feels ok,not a problem,also small wheels add to the ride quality if we compare it with 18 or even 19 inchers
Servicing and maintenance: servicing would be normal,like in normal 8-9k per year which is good seeing the segment
Pros and Cons: pros-1.it can be considered as a proper urban car which will give you an essence of a old school suv but way it drives it just transforms to the dynamics of a big hatch or rather a pseudo suv like creta
2.engine the 140hp engine is a perfect tune as it gives the required mileage(15 km/l)and also a good performace(0-100 in 10.89 secs!!)
cons
1.switches of the power windows and the cabin light is very low
2Crucial features missing like electric adjust,sunroof,auto irvm,etc
