Tata Manza [2011-2015] User Reviews

 

Tata manza is d only sedan car in this price. It has competition with ford fiesta and swift dzire. Swift dzire's interior is not upto d mark for that price. And ford fiesta has a lot of maintainence so this I recommend is the best sedan for this price. If you don't belive me take it's test drive and u will believe me. Tata has improved it's engine. For more features watch the youtube aajtak review for manza. Trust me it's best. Tata manza has good space and nice colours. The best colors are Monarch Red and White. It has good music system and great speakers My review is true. Buy d manza. It has good handling and the steering is very stylish with audio controls as well. Its boot capacity is 460 litres and which is fantastic. Overall it's a fantabulous car. All the reviews are wrong. It's mileage is 19 in d highways and 16 in the cities and overall is 18.1 kmpl. It's rear seats are very comfortable and interior is absolutely luxury. It's road grip is good and the drive is very smooth. It has a nice speedometer.It's the best sedan car of Tata. It has a information box in it which tells the mileage,time and also the distance which can be travelled in the remaining fuel.It also shows the outside temperature. It will be d best sedan afte 25 years also in this price.

Space,Comfort,Fuel efficiency and interiorRear view is not as good but it's not too bad also

 

Exterior Supeb exterior, I seen people taking photograph with my car, when drive in city people turn around to have a look on.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Super space, even my both kid can sleep as sleeing on Bad, seat are giving comfert to the thinking of maharaja style.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is supeb, fuel economy is good, gearbox have some problem its quite hard in going 2-3, reverse its OK.

Ride Quality & Handling Super ride quality and its sharp turning can make any bodybody fall in love with it.

Final Words The best VFM car in sedan, I have driven close to 10k both in city and on highway, I feel really satisfied, before buying my Manza I booked swift dezire, after test riding the Manza I cancelled that, and feel fully satisfied with my decision, of at the time off self availability attracted me.

Areas of improvement Dont really know if the gear shifting problem is unique to my vehicle or common to all, Plastics can be imploved a little.

Great 8 inside space, sharp turning, very good styleGear shift

 

Exterior Exteriors are good if we compare in this segment,but car is very bulky. and driver has no judgement in this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Exelent, very luxurious, arm rest is very good as we compare to others, but you have to compromise with plastic quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Not as quick as we want (as i drive swift also, it is much quicker),but it is a refined car, top speed is good.gear box is not up to mark, fuel economy is good at speed of 70-80.

Ride Quality & Handling Great, soft ride, no engine noise inside cabin, handling is best in cls,steering is vry good.

Final Words If u want a sedan and  not want to spend ur lot ot buks,then only go for it,otherwise u have better options in hathbacks. or go for other 8 lac sedan.

Areas of improvement We don't get quality in it,so plastics and all looks very cheap.

sedan for less cost,good A.C,gr8 interiors,seats are soft and luxury look,good boot spacenot so quick as we need,plastics and all are of poor quality,very bulky no judgement

 

 

I bought a manza quadrajet euro III in july 2010. since then i have had a mileage of 19.3 kmpl and it really goes 23-25 on highways. I have driven 11500 km since then and 4200 km in 1 week (jamnagar- jammu & back). highways, rough roads, sea level & altitude of 3.1 km (10000 feet), my baby has taken it all with ease. I like it's "heavy feeling" steering which is easy to turn yet firm.

Interiors are just ok. leg space is enormous and matchless. comfort is awsome, I will share a recent incident, I encountered in my IIIrd service. I got oil changed in my car. MY service station guys replaced oil with wrong grade of oil (meant for indica v2 etc) but charged me for synthetic oil (3.5 times expensive than normal & works 2-2.5 times more and better). i could instantaneously feel engine vibrations, rapid rise of temp and loss of efficiency at low engine temp. after 5 months and driving 1000 km I decided to go to service stn. to my surprise mechanic told me that my car has wrong grade of oil. they accepted their mistakes after some talks (threats to sue them in court) and my oil and oil filter was replaced. All proud manza owners, kindly watch out for this error when changing oil. this superb engine needs to be run with synthetic oil only.

I request all manza boys & gals to share their experiences, so we learn from our mistakes.

 

Fuel efficient, maintainence free, tension free, rugged, sturdy on roadInteriors

Exterior Looks elegant, especially with alloy wheels.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent space and comfort supplemented with great features like bluetooth and usb and aux ports. Not to forget steering mounted audio controls.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Horrible running noise, the car feels strained even at normal speeds. Fuel economy is average, gearbox is below average.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is poor due to poor quality of rear strut assembly, already replaced within 40000 kms.

Final Words Car registeration number TN 01 AK 6264. Engine running noise not rectified despite repeated complaints, car was left with the dealer for 2 weeks and returned with the same noise. Both dealer and TML chennai office claim that this noise is normal in all Manzas. The petrol car sounds worse than a Diesel car. So much for TML's efforts to attend to the faults mentioned! My friend has a petrol Manza but there is no such noise in his car. Therefore the claims of the dealer and TML, chennai that the noise is normal is strange.

Areas of improvement Actually attending to the faults! Listening to customers. I've wasted 6 months in correspondence with TML, chennai! Please take complaints seriously if you hope to get customer satisfaction.

..................................................................................Bad service by the dealer and TML despite repoeated compaints

Good look , Fuel Efficiency, Engine, Features, Price, Space, Looks (based on evryone's taste), ride quality. 34000 KMS completed great car

I am a proud owner of this car. It gives me more pride when people aroud looks at it when its passes by. I took Wine Red colour and its so Sexy that people falls in love with it.  Even one of my neighour regret for not waiting one month and took Swift Dzire. After thoroughly seeing my car, he was looked like a looser. Hats off to TATA. 

Space and comfortTATA service

Exterior The Car looks bulky from outside. It doesn't have the stunning looks to catch you off-guard but it has a decent exterior facade. Dew White has a specially good appeal. Chrome lining(only higher versions) on the door handle and the strips out-side gives the car a very elegant look. Front of the car including it's grille and headlights is very good but due to the heavy boot, the back looks out of shape. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First of all to be mentioned in the interiors is the roomy cabin. The driver and co-driver have ample space and leg room. Height adjustable driver seat with lumbar support helps the driver not to feel any strain while driving. Back row has ample space even after drivers seat is pushed all the way back. Leather upholstery and two tone seat covers and door trims are very appealing. DIS Console and the driver instrument cluster is very well set out. Steering mounted controls with integrated Audio system gives the interior a very rich look. Except the cheap plastics used inside, Interiors are very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is quiet efficient. The pick-up and running are very smooth. Handling is very easy. Turbo has a good power delivery. The ride is quite smooth even on Bumpy roads. During the first 1000 Kms. of running my car delivered around 13 Kmpl. mileage and should stabilise any where between 16-18 Kmpl. Gear shifts are a bit hard(being a hyundai user before, it was quite obvious).

Ride Quality & Handling Overall ride quality and handling is very good. Due to the bulky design, It handles very well on the high-ways especially while over taking and maneuvering sharp turns and cuts, Steering wheel and the gripping is quite comfortable. Driver seat is height adjustable and has lumbar support which helps him not feeling any strain during the drive. 

Final Words It's great value for money car. Over-all performance will be better than expected going by Tata brand name. Except the cheap plastics inside there is nothing to complain. Bulky boot, High-end features and roomy interiors are the stand alone features when compared to other cars in the same price range.

Areas of improvement Good quality of Plastics and better design of boot and tail lamps to cover the bulky look.

Good fuel Economy, Good Cabin Spacing and spacious boot, High-end features for a car of this priceLooks not really appealing, Cheap plastics for Dash board and interiors

Its about 9 months since I am driving Manja Elan & for sure its one of my  error of judgement to  buy this car. The car is not fit to be called a luxury sedan - Its suspension is horrible & for a petrol car, cabin is very very noisy. Electronics are equally un-reliable : door locks works some time & other time it simply refuse to open. Same goes for handsfree bluetooth system. Its boot is big but it takes muscle to close the lid - & I am not joking.

Does it run - Ofcourse it is But I would like to drive my car with confidence & this machine has not given me that.

I had unique experience, when after 1st service, the lady called up me & asked for service feedback - She explained that rating to be done on scale of 8-poor, 9-good & 10 -excellent. As per her 7& below is complaint & not accepted !!!! Expereince was repeated after 2nd servicing.  This manipulation of MFA coming from house of Tata & that is sad part.

I already have made up mind to sale this one - know I am going to lose serious money but see no way I can keep on having a car which neither gives proper comfort nor reliability.

Ample Leg spaceExtremely noisy inside, suspension probably made for truck, unreliable elctronics

Exterior Not very impressive

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fully loaded with features, super spacious with great comfort for 5.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Effortlessly touches 155kmph, 0 to 100 in 14.5sec, 14.5 to 19.5 on highways. Cheap quality parts such as Power windows and suspension bush.

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable, good suspensions, little body roll is there. ABS works very well and are very helpful also.

Final Words Happy with the overall performance of the car however TATA service centers are pathetic. 5 times my power windows/twice front bush/once altenator/one a/c in&out converter/once ABS booster/once drivers seat belt have been replaced. But thankfully I opted for extended warrenty while buying so i did not pay even a single penny for any of the obove mentioned parts or labour.

Areas of improvement Plastic quality of some parts and TATA motors work shops are killer. Some research should be done by TATA engineers on the cheap quality parts and design.

Comfortable, Super spacious, Good mileage, No Maintenance, effortlessly touches 155kmphPlastic quality of some parts, design of the car, Cheap quality parts such as Power windows
