      Exterior

       The exterior looks refreshing with LEd tail lamps as standard. It looks proportionate and not stubby as the other rivals does.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       The interior fit and finish is far better than the rivals. Even the equipment level is adequate. It scores high on the space and comfort level offered and is way better than DZire.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      About the diesel variant, it was slightly less refined than DZire and is not noticable at all. I did not find petrol that exciting as they claim but is acceptable in terms of linear power delivery and refinement.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Didn't get chance to ride on bumpy road but handlind and steering response is good.

      Final Words

       Go for it if you are not bothered about the brand image and resale value and want to try something new and refreshing.

      Areas of improvement  

       Petrol engine could be a bit more refined as the other competetors.

      Exterior I like the exterior look of the car.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious interior but the quality of plastic used is bad.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good riding comfort from 3 gear position, 1 st gear to second gear movement takes more time.

      Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable. With reservation to Semi Auto Concept, beccause in bumber to bumber trafic you have to burn extra fuel to keep the car in poition. Not suitable for ladies at all.

      Final Words Tata Should not have spoiled this good desighn with semi auto gear system.

      Areas of improvement Driving seat should have been made optional with that of XT for XMA model buy paying a few Rs Extra.

      Same with Entertainment arrangement. Tata has under estimated a customer going for Automatic option. But I like the car it is really good. If improved and taken more care it will make a hit in the market. The mud entering the engine room from the front tyres is really a matter of concern and to be fixed if not it can cause many problems in the future.

      Car is Spacious InsideThe Plastic Quality inside, Mud splashing from the front wheels into the engine room

      Exterior Superly styled exterior, projector headlamps led tail lights, day time running leds, solid built,sporty looks, perhaps the est looking car in its class that is the su 4 meter segment. alloy wheels standard.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Oodles of space the hall mark of any tata car no need to mentio that. interiors very well detailed, finished no cost cutting cheap plastic, body hugging soft seats. Super air conditioning.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Mine is an XMA semi automatic, again first in its class a diesel automatic , the gearbox is a it slow after a long cold start but after a few minutes gears change effortlessly, drive is very easy and non tiring. 

      Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality again is excellent , drivers position is high giving a clear view, good solid suspension neither too soft nor too stiff, the 16 inch alloys iron out the road very diligently.

      Final Words Dont think definitely a must buy.

      Areas of improvement Please provide air bags in this top end version, XMA is the highest model but sadly it doesnt have air bags.

      space , mileage, comfort, solidity...suspension,stylingin cabin storage space for bottles ect is less provided

      Exterior Have the dune beige color, already thre people knocked the window and said awesome looking car, was feeling proud.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious , iam 6ft plus height , so very spacious leg room head room and shoulder room.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very fine tuned engine, got max of 27KMPL @ constant speed of 80kmper hour in highways and getting 15kmpl in almost daily commute of 25 kms with atleast 5 kms in 1st gear auto , bumper to bumper traffic.

      Ride Quality & Handling Awesome, very stable and grounded, the CSC works well.

      Final Words Must buy car.

      Areas of improvement Sometimes in bumber to bumber traffic when auto gear shifts from 2nd to 1st and then your drive in 1st gear, and have to apply brakes, vehicle takes a few second to stop, so not sure if I am not driving right or, but overall good car.

      Good style, space, premium dashboard, good night drive visibility , Corner stability controlAlmost nothing, but sometimes when 2nd to 1st gear , brakes dont stop the car , there is a miss

      Exterior LOOKS AWESOME IN THIS SEGMENT. HEAD LAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS ARE PLACED ATTRACTIVELY.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) AS IN ANY OTHER TATA CAR A GOOD LOT OF INTERIOR SPACE.BETTER THAN EVEN THE HYUNDAI VERNA ANOTHER VERY GOOD CAR.SUSPENSIONS ARE HARD AND CAN TAKE ANY AMOUNT OF BAD ROADS. THE CAR INTERIORS ARE VERY NEW AND GOODS. IF WE WANT TO TAKE THE BEST AND THE WORST INTERIORS THE WORST SRE THOSE RENAULT/NISSAN ALL CARS WHICH HAVE THE SHABBIEST INTERIORS. IN THIS SEGMENT THIS CAR HAS ONE OF THE BEAT INTERIORS.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox FUEL AVERAGE LONG 20KMPL AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 100-120.LOCAL MILAGE NOT CHECKED. I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND 4500 KMS WITHIN A MONTH AND HENCE THE REVIEW.

      Ride Quality & Handling THE RIDE QUALITY IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THGE SEGMENT. THIS CAR IS RELATIVELY SILIENT AS COMPARED TO AMAZE. DOOR NOISE IS PETRIFYING AND HORRIBLE. TATA HAS REALLY IGNORED SUCH AN IMPORTANT ASPECT.

      Final Words THE BEST CAR. HIGHLY ADVISED TO BUY.

      Areas of improvement THEY SHOULD WORK ON THE DOOR NOISE, BOTTLE HOLDERS ETC.

      EXCELLENT RIDE QUALITY FUEL ECONOMY GROUND C INT SPACEBOTTLE HOLDERS, HAND REST ETC,DOOR AND BOOT OPENING NOISE

      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
