Best Value for Money Car

Exterior

Very near and looks different. Nice head-lamps and tail lamps. Looks far better than all the other small car Tata cars

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Spacious car, have got excellent feedback from all the friends who own Santro and Swift. Easily accomodates 5 people including the driver.

Very comfortable driver seats with good features of height adjustment, and tiltable steering. Have heard no complaints from anyone during long distance drivers. Leg space behind for medium stature people is fine, but as expected not for tall people.

Music system is junk and expects an amplifier if you are using separate speakers on the plank. Half of the warning lights seen on the meter make little sense as the book provided is outdated. Door locks are of some concern, but may be rectified now. LEDs for power windows never have worked. This is the worst thing in the car, sometimes they keep blinking due to some problem. I have currently made them remove them out and waiting for a new piece since 18 months.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Great engine, low noise, very smooth. Fuel Economy is the high ways is great. City with A/C is just about a point below 13 kms/ltr [Diesel].

Small issues with clutch. Sometimes feel I am applying lot of pressure on the clutch, but gears are very much relaxed.

Ride Quality & Handling

Good control, but need to be careful when driving on wet road, breaks do tend to drag the vehicle forward sometimes.

As in all Tata cars, handling is great, can move into any location which has just enough space for the car to go into. Zig-zags movement is very clear and at about 60 kms have not felt there are any issues with this kind of driving.

Final Words

Tata has done a great job with  this car, but this is just the beginning. The latest version of this car is a definite watch out for car.

Areas of improvement  

Service needs to be improved a great deal and feel strongly for this
