டாடா மான்ஸா [2011-2015] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Dear friends, I bought TATA Manza as a super sedan on August 2010,on November end of 2011 my car got break down and called the service center and they toed the vehicle to CONCERD MOTORS IN MYSORE road,till 15 days they were trying to get the reason that what happen to the car and why its not getting start,initially they said its a rat entry,than diesel pump problem,than some coding problem,at the 25th day they said wiring problem,than they promised me that they will call some engineers from the plant to resolve the problem,and every day they were updating me as wiring kit is coming from the plant,at the end of 50th day they said everything is ready you can take the car,and i took the car out of garage on 24th jan 2012 and on 25th the same problem is occurred friends i am thinking like weather they are inefficient to resolve the problem or TATA Motors are used for this.Its my humble request that whenever you are buying the TATA cars please think at-list 10-15 times,I bought this car with lot of patriotism,love and its a indian car but?

Interiors of Tata Manza Interiors Are where the Manza scores highly. The cabin feels airy and there is a sense of space. In fact, interior space is probably best among the sedans. The large windscreen is best. The A pillar is small and does not restrict much vision.

Space ‘Unbelievable’ There is only one word for the amount of room at the rear 'Unbelievable'. The wheelbase is now 50mm longer and the space is visually evident. Even with the front seat in their fully back position, the rear seat passenger’s legs don't touch the front seat. The angle of the seats is also perfect and makes them the best place in the car to be in. The rear can easily accommodate 3 passengers comfortably and the rear armrest with built in glass holders gives the car an expensive look. The Boot is massive 460 litres.

Seating The front seats are pretty firm, and they are quite large and there is plenty of space for the elbows on both sides. Driver seat has height adjust too. Lumbar support has two stages, in and out. With the Manza, Tata has also shown that safety is on their minds. The Manza is equipped with ABS, Dual Front Air-bags, and Collapsible Steering Column etc. The front Passenger airbag can also be turned off if it’s not required.

Plastics and Storage Plastics used are of high quality and totally the opposite of what you would expect from a Tata product. The feel of the Dashboard is awesome and I particularly like textured feel and the slightly Grey colour near the windscreen which does well to block the sun’s reflection off it into the driver’s eyes (apart from the Front Defogger Vents which are clearly visible). The two tone fabrics, which are available across all variants, also look and feel very good. Storage space is pretty good. The door pockets each were able to hold two 500ml aerated water bottles. Seat pockets also are just adequate enough to hold a few magazines. However the Glove Box is very spacious. It could easily hold my laptop. Tata has put some very nice thought into it. The glove box is lit (though not cooled like in the Fabia) and has a slot where you can keep your pen and visiting cards. There is also a Sliding tray under the Front Passengers seat. The gear knob is wrapped in quality leather and feels good to hold and use.

Exterior Looks are very good. but some thing to be done on backside of the car. it looks likes corrola, which is a very expensive car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good but not as good as many other cars in the same segment. much more comfort than dizer.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and GearboxVvery good performance, fule economy is good 14 in city drive and 17 on highway, gearbox is not as soft as i want to be. may be i drive petrol car as well. i think cluch is also hard.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality as well as handling is good but piller A causes some problems while driving. its accleration is very very good. car picks very well. we have to apply breakes to control it.

Final Words Good car with lot of fertures some miner mistakes which can be ignored. but a good car than dizer, fiesta, logan ect.

Areas of improvement Inner plastic and a piller.

Exterior Good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, comfort- tilted steering column options missed. At the time of booking it is avilable at the time of delivery not received. when questioned the dealer they dont have any information. very bad experience with new car. contacted tatamotors should review very seriously. It damage the customer satisfaction.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Yet to be checked run only 400 kms.

Ride Quality & Handling Final gears pick up is less.

Final Words Over all looking good. But the agreed features at the time of booking is not avilable at the time of delivery. Tilt & adustable steering column is missing. Purchased from TAL- coimbatore. deralers also dont know this. When i contacted TAL they replied that they also dont know and contacting TATA MOTORS one week back. on 9/7/11 TAL told that it is discontinued in this model from june and they received the message ony 7/7/11. Now all the customers r suffered. TATA MOTORS shuld take decession immedieatly to compensate this.

Model - Aqua Quadrajet BS 4

Place of Purchase - Concorde, Ambattur, Chennai

On-Road Price - 6.7L

Experience with the Dealer - Very responsive & helpful. A salesman by the name of Manikandan helped us throughout the entire process; from TD to Car Delivery to delivering the Extended Warranty at doorstep.  I strongly recommend this person, since he was absolutely helpful inspite of my telling him that I was trying to decide between Manza/Dzire/Verito. I also had no need to shop around since he did not give me any reason to do so.

• Test Drive done twice: TD + car brought on a different day to my house to check if it can be parked inside compound wall
• After payment, proper follow up from Manikandan
• Vehicle delivered on time

If I have to be really knitpicky, then I would say that the car was not cleaned properly before delivery.

Thoughts so far

Pros:

• It feels fantastic to be inside the car
• Except for the rear boot design, the car has lines on the front and sides which give it a very nice look
• Driving on highways is an absolute delight - the car can easily punch out power when required, esp. in the 60-100 Kmph range
• Great stability - no body rolls like in Dzire

Cons:

• Clutch action - There is very less clutch play and mostly very close to the floorboard. This makes it quite difficult to control the car in Chennai city traffic where half clutch is absolutely necessary for inching along.(Hopefully I can get this fixed in the first service)
• Car size - The car is quite large making it a nightmare to protect the car from scrapes by bikers/autos who buzz like flies on both sides of the car with cms to spare.

I highly recommend this car if your monthly usage involves atleast 60% highway driving. Well, tbh, I would recommend a Hatchback if you drive mostly on city roads :) & not a sedan(be it any), I will write a more detailed review after doing a couple of 1000 kms.

Vijay.

now i have purchased aura abs quadrajet n latest review is this one..

Exterior Good but not great, looks very heavy n strong body,headlights r good .stop lamp r so so,tyres from apollo radials.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) More n more space, driver seat very comfortable so is driver co side seat,lumber support on highway is very useful gives u full support,volume control mode change,next n previous option,call connect disconnect on steering wheel r good features,spacious legroom for all seats.a/c is excellent one, blower speed is good,sound quality is gre8,blue 5 is good feature for those mobile always rings.music sound when equalier is used is so nice.seat belt buzzer is very good feature,u can't drive until u fasten seat belt cause buzzer will irritate u.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox When I drive the manza first time it was on a very busy road n i feel where is the power that company is talking about cause i was in second gear n rpm was below 2000 but just when i touched rpm of 2100 the car almost zoooooom n ifelt as i have touched a nos button,great pickup,power,speed.no engine noise in cabin,great fuel economy, slow gearbox a little bit hard comparison to maruti ford n hyundai's gearbox.but satisfactory.top speed of 165 km/h n smooth drive on long drive.fuel economy at time of purchase was showing 7.1 kmpl but as  i have driven 1500 km now it's indicater is 12.1 kmpl in city n 24 kmpl on highwey.

Ride Quality & Handling No thuds on patholes or indian roads,handling smooth even in busy traffic but on highweys its in complete control even on 140 km/h.

Final Words This is a car can be called value for money,complete family car,nothing to be called bad.

Areas of improvement day/night rear view mirror, looks.

Exterior Good and value for money.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox My engine gave me starting problem four times in two years within 11K Km. I fear to go on long drives in the car. Quality of other parts you can adjust but engine not starting is not a problem to be forgiven. I am wating for the time to throw it out. Gearbox is of good quality.

Ride Quality & Handling Poor with the brakes especially in slow moving traffic often giving trouble with ABS system pressuring the brake from opposite side. The shock absorbers give a very odd sound often at the front wheel whenever I touch a bumper. Often door llocks keep failing. The service people didnt clean it properly after I gave for body paining of scratches.

Final Words Bad. The service should improve. Service people often dont have an idea on the problem and will keep the car in the service station for a week or so.

Areas of improvement Engine and overall system.

😢Exterior Not bad but the the body gets dented with small stone chips flying on the road.

😎Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good features, space and excellent comfortable to drive. Fabric quality is bad.

😳Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is OK but gearbox is not that good. Makes noise like a tipical taxi. Milage city condition is 13-14KMPL, highway is 17KMPL at average 100KMPH.

😎Ride Quality & Handling Very impressive.

😢😟😳😦Final Words Avoid !!!!!!!!!!!! In Hindi "Sukh say shanti bhali"!!!!!!!!!!!

Unreliable, recomended only as a taxi. Not worth spending 8-9 Lac. I have driven 32K in 2 years and had to visit the service station 21 times. It is true, Twentyone times is correct. The following parts were replaced in warrantee. clutch, switch lever, fuel probe, speedometer cluster, window closure, suspension bush, knuckel joint, fuel heater, brake oil leakage, gear oil leakage, gear shifter knob. Endless, I had to write to tata motors several times. I have asked them to recall the vehicle.

Areas of improvement Tata motors should concentrate on Quality first and then discuss cars!

Manza Safire would have been the best car in its segment if it had a better average. I have been using this car since 7 months and I have not faced any issue so far  however on the mileage front I am just  just draining money on fuel.Under City conditions it is giving  a mileage of 7/8 and on highways 10/11 only.

I am not sure how it would work with the CNG kit as this seems to be the last solution to control its appetite for petrol.

Otherwise I am very much satisfied with  rest of the features. Music System(bluetooth enabled) is awesome,you can play songs from your mobile as well.Leg space is cool. This car is quite convenient for 5 people. Other cars like Accent/Ikon/Dezire do not take a stand before it.

There is another point about this car which is the sound it creates . I think sound is Tata's legacy only.Doesn't matter much to me.
