Manza - Worth to Buy

Hi,

 I have been driving Santro Xing since 2005 (45,000 KMs). The moment I started thinking about a sedan model around 6 Lakhs, Hyundai Accent was my first selection – but due to its old model look and cop image in Chennai changed my thought and started analyzing various sedan model and finally short listed Tata Indigo Manza Aura Quadrajet.

Started driving Manza from 7th Jan 2010, as of now I drove 800KMs (450 KM Chennai-Bangalore  NH and rest all in Chennai traffic).

Initially I thought that it would definitely take certain transition period from Petrol to Diesel engine drive more over I never had a good opinion about Tata cars but this car has proved me wrong.

The following are my personal opinion; the readers should keep in mind that I was driving Santro Xing most of my driving experience

Positives:

1. Sturdy
2. Excellent space and comfort
3. Big boot space
4. Features like Mileage to Go Indicator, Outside temperature, Bluetooth and steering wheel remote control
5. Height adjustable Steering
6. Nice pickup/performance
7. Excellent Mileage (20-22 in HN and 14-16 in city)

Negatives:

1. Rear design
2. Bad finish and poor plastics
3. 2nd and 5th Gear Shifting is little hard
4. Right side visibility is not great
5. Doors need heavy push to lock
6. Lights are not power enough for night drive

Final Punch:

I love this car and can recommend to others. Will definitely update you more about the car after the first service.

Regards

Anbu
