Manza ELAN great car - first 400kms

 

Exterior Overall the exterior looks good, especially the steel chrome on back and side doors. The fog lamps are excellent in heavy rainy conditions. The front of the car looks very rich. I personally didnt like the back side of the car it is bit lifted from ground. The alloy wheel look good with dual tone, the color matches with my tryian wine.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is much improved. The music system quality is good. Steering mounted controls are real good and comfortably. The bluetooth works great as expected. The car has everything that you can get in any of the mid sized sedan. The dual tone dashboard looks very good but needs some impovement in plastic department.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Not to tell anything. This area is perfect as the engine used is world renowned FIAT diesel engine. The performance and torque is excellent. The gear shift is smooth and the gear ratio is too good. I could change gear even at low speed, very comfortable driving in traffic conditions. I am getting fuel milage of 16KM in city.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is exellent. You dont get any engine noise while driving on 4th & 5th gear.

Final Words Execellent car value for money.

Areas of improvement I would say TATA should consider the plastics to be of good quality.
