Manza Elan

Hi,

Took tata manza Elan. Loaded of features and off course acres of space inside the car, the mileage is giving around 16 on highways. I consider this as good mileage as for the car of this size. Good height adjustment range for driver seat and steering mounted controls. Bluetooth is worth of applause. Electrical ORVMs, Its complete and comfortable 5 seater car.

As most of the Tats,s its also have its fair share of niggles like window switch not working window doesn’t  close. Heavy rattling sounds  such as AC pipes in dash board, steering rack ETC.

I have being using Accent, after shifting to Manza things I don’t like in it is. Ride is so bouncy. Soft suspension is not soft for insiders. I dint like the suspension at all. On a straight stretch of read it is capable of going at 140 speed. But handling problem crops up. Sudden lane changing you cant do. You have to drive it like safari. Even when turning you have to shift it down to 50 kmh speed, there is no inspiring confidence driving around typical indian roads. Ground clearance having all the occupants inside, the body scrapes on bums. Which is another problem.windows at the back seat cannot be opened even at the speed 40 kmph. there is kind of heavy resonance comes in as if you stand near the boing.

Areas of improvement Little sturdy or firm suspention. have to work.

i was thinking to update my review lately and finally the day come for it. Basically to rewrite my review is to let the reader get genuine experience of the user. When I finalize my car I have read all the review of manza in carwale, teambhp and mouthshut. Besides I test driven 2 times. Initially when I shifted from compact sedan accent to manza I dint feel at home with it, so was the above review was the impression right after i drove manza. but now, manza is with me for more than 3 months and driven about 5K kilometers and  now when I get back in the accent I dont find it comfortable any more. If any body narrows down this vehicle for next buy. I suggest them to go ahead with it. now I cruise at 140/hr comfortably. One issue is sudden direction changing is not confidence inspiring may be because its size. At a streach I travel about 300 klm. Since manza came I don’t find my journey tiring. I wish I could have had hand rest given as standard feature, that’s a missing in the list. Small  issues I am facing are DIS( driver information system) light blinks. It shows the right numbers but light under the DIS not working. And there is no get over for it. you require to install new, which cost 15K. steering rack sound on bumps. And window some times stop at the middle while going up. To close we have to give second shot.but I consider these all are small issues which i would putting infront of the TASS in my next service.

Electrical ORVM’s steering mounted controls and sear height adjustment features are awesome, fun to drive, its comfortable commuter in city and cruiser on highway. I am loving it.   

 

Milege is giving 17 to 18 with full AC all the time.
