    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior GOOD.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) GOOD.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox HORRIBLE. TATA'S CLAIM AVERAGE 18 KM/LT (AS PER ARAI), WHEN TEST DRIVE WAS GIVEN ON LONG ROUT HIGHWAY 190 KM + CITY 20 KM, AT 60 KM/HR SPEED IN ECO MODE.

    BY THE DEALER CONCORD AVERAGE WAS FOUND 13.6 KM/LT ALSO PRACTICAL, AVERAGE DURING EVERY DAY RUN IN LAST 3000 KM IN CITY HIGHWAY REGULAR, RUN AVERAGE IS FOUND TO BE 8.5 KM/LT IN CITY MODE.

    ON COMPLAINT TATA'S REPLIED THAT THIS IS NORMAL & CAR IS OK. THEY ALSO ADVICE THAT EVEN ON HIGHWAY YOU SHOULD DRIVE AT 60 KM/HR. WHEN EVERYBODY INCLUDING RIKSHAW OVERTAKES YOU & ONLY YOU CAN OVERTAKE.

    CYCLE / BULLOCK CAR. ON COMPLAINING TO ARAI THEY CONFIRM THAT AVERAGE TEST TAKEN ONLY IN LAB.

    ON SPECIFIC SAMPLE CAR GIVEN BY COMPANY. THEY DO NOT SELECT RANDOM SAMPLE. FROM THE CARS IN DEALER STOCK. THEY DO NOT TAKE PRACTICAL LONG DRIVE TRIAL. IN CITY AS WELL AS HIGHWAY.

    Ride Quality & Handling OK.

    Final Words I FEEL CHEATED. IT IS CHEAPER TO HIRE AC TAXI EVERYDAY THAN USING THIS CAR.

    Areas of improvement REAL FUEL ECONOMY.

    GOOD STYLEHORRIBLE PETROL AVERAGE. ONLY 8.5 KM/LT
