Tata Bolt User Reviews

It was the time when I found a bolt card by Tata motors which made my attraction towards the cars.When I went for the test drive I made my observation on the car about the drive modes and other aspects.In City mode it had hit the roads due to excellent riding and the punchy 1.2 litre revotron petrol engine.It had just missed out on one aspect which was about it's boot space that was 210 litres which was not actually enough.However people disliked it due to coordination of looks with the Indica Vista but according to me Bolt was very dynamic.Another positivity I would praise was it's touchscreen and the Voice command feature.A person could also change the temperature and radio station without using any physical buttons.The Polo,elite i20 and the etios liva could not even have beat it in terms of how it drives .later on after sometime more options entered by new facelifts especially the maruti baleno hatchback had also competed with the car but still according to me this was a better choice in terms of safety as compared to Baleno and elite i20 .

Exterior is Sturdy, Stylish, born under Tata family, resemblance with vista is NOT acceptable, addition of more 2-3 Colour with special graphic is my suggestion for its peppy look enhancement.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All interiors are at par and of very good quality with ample space for even five heavy persons, In built Music Sound System quality is superb.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Robust, excellent and spaceously build up, power and pickup, slow crawling and cruzing speed is designed excellently with high practical experiences by tatas.

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable and with easily acceptable console functions during driving The Three Modes function gives reliability at various suitable condition, the safety features of ABS, CSC,EBD, Airbags gives trust worthy feeling during condition.

Final Words Excellent Sensible choice for long Driving durations with  trust worthy safety features.

Areas of improvement Not yet come across still more to talk later.

 

Good Fuel Economy in city as well as on Highways, Comfort Silent and ReliableNO under observation

Exterior BOLT looks attractive in Venetion Red color with black C-pillar, Chrome line on doors near windows, Rear spoiler, Body Lines on side doors

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Bolt looks mordern with JAVA BLACK interiors and scores very high on its feature list - Harman Music System with 8 speakers, Bluetooh connectivity, USB, Aux provisions.

Sterring feels good to hold and has very comfortable access to button for access to Music system & Phone Calls. 

All seats are spacious, Comfortable with appropriate under thigh support, legroom & Head room. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Multidrive options are a boon this Small car segment. Engine had very good Lowend & mid range performance (Torque from Turbocharger). 1.2 Litre MPFI engine performs desired durty very well but get noisy as revs build up(sometimes it sounds like Diesel engine).

Fuel Economy with mix of ECO, CITY & SPORT modes during 850kms drive in a week: City - 10.1 km/l and Highway - 14.1km/l.
- Highway Fuel economy in ECO mode was 15.6km/l which dropped down to 9.5km/l when switch to Sport mode for FUN DRIVE.
- The power & engine response in SPORT mode was amazing. Definately worth it! (It gave feeling of driving a much powerful car).

Tata has worked a lot for providing a smooth Gearbox. Scope for reducing Gear lever Vibrations. 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fantastic, it absorbs most of the bumps comfortably & feels a lot more confident while taking corners and at high speeds. All 5 seats keep the passengers firm at their position during turns (thanks to Corner Stability Control).

Final Words Fantastic Value for Money car with loads for features.

Areas of improvement

1. Reduce gaps visible in Plastic parts.

2. Provide slot for keeping Bottle at Doors.

Good Style, Rear Legroom, Comfortable for 5 people, Multidrive, ABS/Airbags, Harman Music SystemPoor Finish quality - Gaps in plastic fitments, Low Fuel economy

1.I bought it three years back.. maintain cost is low 2. The car gives you a good experience of riding it 3. Good to some extent 4. Good.. you don't need to worry about maintaining it 5. Headlights aren't upto mark

Exterior Very Good. Body looks sturdy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very good. It is quite spacious and comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Eng perf  good, fuel economy fair and gearbox poor. Gear lever rattles when running. Authorised workshop say it is faun factoring drawback which they cannot rectify. They told me that tata motors have been told about it. They also say that this issue is with every Bolt car. Looks very strange. I have not faced any such issue with my other cars - Maruti, ford, etc.

Ride Quality & Handling Quite good.

Final Words Not a good buy wbe me. II was taken in by its looks and dealers' sweet talk. Car was purchased in Feb28.2015' through Autovikas, Dwarka NewDelhi. It was from among the first few Bolt cars manufactured. 

Areas of improvement Gear lever coupled with clutch lever needs thorough  examination. If possible this may be set right.

It is really very irritating. car's AC system also needs checking. The one in my car had stared malfunctioning in the initial period its elf and had to be opened for fixing.

Good body, interiors and infotainment very goodFuel economy not as was expected. Big drawback is rattling of gear lever when in running.

Gives amaze look. maintenance cost is worthy get easily customized on road it is nice car but its too much wider and big.

I have bought Tata bolt xe diseal variant My experience with this car is really amazing as it's my first car , it is very fuel efficient It's very fun to drive Claims an average of max 26-27 highway And in city max 20-21 Servicing is somewhat expensive You will never feel the lag of power in the car Pros - turbocharged diseal engine Cons- there is always an issue in the cars handbrake( I have confessed with dealership but didn't get any conclusion)

Hi Guys, I really don't want to disappoint anybody here, but if you have aplan of taking this car, pls stop and choose another one. I took new revotron and drove very less, during this two years I developed lot of patience of this crap car. But now I really lost. Worst vehicle I have ever seen, fumes from banet if you corss 120 Km/HR, poor milage- not even 10 in eco mode, daily problems with self start, poor road grip, break are like cycle breaks, waste ccar, not at all recommended, not worth even one Lakh. On top of this worst thing is poor steering performance, lights are good, main thing iss power windows and self starting problems associated with this. Sure not recommended, I am not sure about diesel one, but petrol one is real waste of money. even sporst model dies not has pick up like maruthi vehicle, waste, waste, waste vehicle.

Really not good! worst vehicle I have ever seen

Regards,

Vijay

Space, but this is also waste comparing with consMileage, being new vehicle also, lot of problems, self start problem for new vehicle,

There are many comments on Fuel average relating to Tata Bolt and so I thought to check myself and update:

After 2300 km of driving of Tata Bolt XM Petrol. I rechecked the fuel average by taking test drive of 12 km. The avearge in `eco mode' on  highway crossed 20 Km.

The initial average on highway was 17 km and now it has increased to 20 km.

Kind Regards

Exterior Very good finish and stylish look. The black liner on pillar is very stylish. Paint is of of very good quality and give rich feel.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The moment you enter the car, the black dash board and Interior finish makes you feel WOW !!!. The Herman music system has excellent features and good surround sound. The car is very  very spacious and three people can easily seat in back seat and can also have good leg room.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very powerful. Gearbox moves smoothly and easy to handle but need to be moved  with precision in the slots. It took me a while to adjust. Fuel economy is lower than its competitor but not bad.

Ride Quality & Handling very smoothhhhhhh. One of the strongest feature is its Power stering which is very easy to handle and moves with just one fingure!

Final Words Good Value for Money. Tata seems to be coming out with better products. After Zest, Bolt too has lived upto customers expectation.

Areas of improvement None for now.

Good fuel economynothing
