Tata Manza [2011-2015] User Reviews

Exterior are good but plastics and fibers which has used in the mirrors,windshield are toooo bad.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good features with out quality all electric iteams which has been used all china metirials.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Till now its good but its too early to judge.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words I request Tata motors, when it comes to the indian tata cars they use very low quality of things like break pads,cables,plastic iteams,rubber,finishing etc one thing our Bharath Rathna Rathan Tata has to remember heis an india.

Areas of improvement Servicing, as I said above plastics to finishing,its more important to show the quality than a quantity.

NOTE- All middle class people in india likes to by swadeshi car which is available as TATA Motors, When i alaways drive my car i feel proud that its mera India and Its mera Indian Car

Exterior: Looks like a very average sedan, no one can guess the space and comfort by having a look from outside. Fantastic headlamps, ground clearance, chrome lined grills and boot. intelligently placed side indicators. Finishing on some exterior parts is not smooth and could have been improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Dual tone impressive interiors, cabin noise is very less, infact once you roll up the power windows you won't feel there's a world outside, cabin space is incomparable and leaves dzire, vento, amaze, verito, sx4, etios and many other highly priced sedans way back, decent head and leg room. Handles the speed breakers, pot holes and craters on the road very nicely. Dash board does give a premium look but again finishing should be improved here and there inside. Has space for 6 speakers and 2 tweeters. adequate lighting options inside, magazine pockets in front doors, door open indicator, tray under the co-driver seat, rear center arm rest.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: It going to be an year and engine i still performing nicely, 90 ps is decent power to drive this vehicle even when fully loaded, turbo lag is very less in comparision to swift, swift dzire, verito, etios, etc. max speed I drove was 170 kmph and still felt the vehicle being stable, have achieved a fuel economy of 22 kmpl on highway at a continuous speed of 60-70 kmph with ac on, for city driving it ranges between 15-17 kmpl. Gearbox is smooth sedan like and shifts are never an issue.

Ride Quality & Handling: Goes very well on all kinds of roads without any hickups. rides very smoothly over the bumps, suspension limits jerks to a great extent while driving through pot holes or damaged roads. 90 ps of power takes the vehicle very nicely in all sorts of terrain, ride quality feels like a real sedan and it just FLOATS on smooth roads. Very low on maintenance and due to the TATA service network you will find their service centers in all big/small towns across the country, infact i got my first service done in Thiruvananthpuram despite the fact that i purchased it in Bangalore.

 Final Words: Best sedan in this range in terms of performance, comfort, mileage and price

Areas of improvement:  Exterior and interior finishing needs to be improved, cosmetic changes should be made to make it more attractive to buyers as people go more for the looks than performance.

Model - Aqua Quadrajet BS 4

Place of Purchase - Concorde, Ambattur, Chennai

On-Road Price - 6.7L

Experience with the Dealer - Very responsive & helpful. A salesman by the name of Manikandan helped us throughout the entire process; from TD to Car Delivery to delivering the Extended Warranty at doorstep.  I strongly recommend this person, since he was absolutely helpful inspite of my telling him that I was trying to decide between Manza/Dzire/Verito. I also had no need to shop around since he did not give me any reason to do so.

• Test Drive done twice: TD + car brought on a different day to my house to check if it can be parked inside compound wall
• After payment, proper follow up from Manikandan
• Vehicle delivered on time

If I have to be really knitpicky, then I would say that the car was not cleaned properly before delivery.

Thoughts so far

Pros:

• It feels fantastic to be inside the car
• Except for the rear boot design, the car has lines on the front and sides which give it a very nice look
• Driving on highways is an absolute delight - the car can easily punch out power when required, esp. in the 60-100 Kmph range
• Great stability - no body rolls like in Dzire

Cons:

• Clutch action - There is very less clutch play and mostly very close to the floorboard. This makes it quite difficult to control the car in Chennai city traffic where half clutch is absolutely necessary for inching along.(Hopefully I can get this fixed in the first service)
• Car size - The car is quite large making it a nightmare to protect the car from scrapes by bikers/autos who buzz like flies on both sides of the car with cms to spare.

I highly recommend this car if your monthly usage involves atleast 60% highway driving. Well, tbh, I would recommend a Hatchback if you drive mostly on city roads :) & not a sedan(be it any), I will write a more detailed review after doing a couple of 1000 kms.

Vijay.

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.
