Aria

Let me introduce myself, I am Phani Kishore, Chartered Accoutant from Bellary. I had taken the TATA Aria Pride i.e. top end model for Rs.20,20,000/- white color delivery on 27th January,2012 from Bhagyodaya Motors Hospet,Karnataka, Bharat.

Before purchasing Aria I had

1. Mahindra Scorpio which is driven by me for more than 90,000 Kilometers  [sold during purchase of Aria]

2. Mahindra Scorpio which is driven by me for 26,000 Kilometers

3. Toyota Innova which is driven by me for about 50,000 Kilometers

4. Apart from the above my company vehicle I have taken for office trips are TATA Indica, Mahindra Scorpio, Pajero, Honda CRV, Sckoda Lura which is driven by me about 5000 Kilometers.

By the above vehicle description, you can understand that I have a good driving knowledge, experience and knowledge about the four wheel vehicles. My choice to take to this Aria is only because it is top end Indian manufactured model in its class {you can see file 1 and file 2 for clarification} particularly by TATA Motors, even though the price was higher when compared to other company vehicles for top end model. During the tenure of six months I came across so many problems in the vehicle which is enumerated below.

Problem No.1: Steering is too hard to handle, during drive I started getting shoulder pain

Problem No.2: Air Cooler for long trip will start giving sound and cooling effect will come down.

Problem No.3: Navigation system is not user friendly.

Problem No. 4: Cruise control on steering wheel are very hard.

Problem No. 5: Pick up is too bad, it is too dangerous while overtaking any vehicle on road. During my trip to Shirdi from Bellary last 300 Kilometers was too bad pick up even in first gear.

Problem No.6: Breaks is not comfort, once the vehicle crosses above 100 kilometers  speed.

Problem No. 7: Vehicle will not be in driver control when vehicle crosses above 100 kilometers speed.
