    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Good looks with projection headlamp. Looks solid with good height and width

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First of all it has very very silent cabin. being diesel model noise level inside cabin is very very low and having music system on you do not know whether engine is running or not. this is the great achievement by Tata. Amasing music system added with 8 speakers lot of functions. Sun visors need to feel solid as they are to flimsy to hand. Tata should go for twin shell or EPP sunvisors. What i am missing is place to keep water bottle and mobile, two essential things for travel. Seats are good and support well. Overall best package inside. Display provide you with lot of information

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox So far driven only 900 Km in about 20 days so to early to comment on engine performance. Automatic Gear changing is good but sometime you feel lag while gear is being changed. I am getting 13 KM/Lit in City and more than 20 KM /Lit for long drive (I travelled to Mumbai) which is not at all bad.

    Ride Quality & Handling I checked Honda City, Hyundai Accent, Maritu Ciaz, Honda Amaze and Tata Zest and I found Tata Zest best in this. suspensions clearly beat Honda city. Best performance of ABS and corner stability.

    Final Words Fantastic package to buy if you are going for automatic varient. 4 lacs cheaper than Skoda rapid, 3 Lacs cheaper than Honda city, 2 lcas cheaper than Ciaz and cheaper than petrol automatic versions of Amaze & Axcent. So go for it without thinking.

    Areas of improvement As mentioned above, should have sotrage space, light in boot (Boot is covered in black carpet and usually all city parkings are underground) so how can you see? I also miss air bags and Cruze control but that will add to lot of cost.

    Silent cabin, Loads of information, space, suspensionsNo storage for bottle & Mobile, No light in Luggage space, Flimsy sun visors
