Nice car

I purchased tiago xm Diesel in june 2016.

Here is a review on the basis of my 7000 kilometers of driving experience

 

Pros- 

1- Nice Design with good boot space

 

2- Nice AC

 

3- Well designed seats for driver and co passenger and nice thigh support for long driver in rear seats.

 

4- Excellent fuel economy if you drive it like tiago. If you drive it like Ferrari, you will start cursing TATA.

 

5- Nice steering wheel

 

6- Nice to purchase a diesel if you want to be on highways at least 4 days in a week and at least 100 kilo meters a day.

 

7- A good ride for 4 people with not much luggage.

 

Cons-

1- Diesel model has engine sound/Knocking issue which comes as kat kat kat kat at lower rpms, specifically between 1000 to 1500 rpm. 

 

2- If you lower any of the four windows you will get kit kit sound from all four windows, which is very scary while you are driving at 100kmph. you will suddenly think---woaah!  what's broken just now.

 

3- Engine vibration is not that noticeable but due to that vibration you might get ghrrrrr, kkrrrrrrr noise inside your cabin....

 

4- You might listen to different kind of noise in  your cabin which might vanish when you take your car to TASS.

 

5- You might feel that lights are not enough when you are driving on highways.

 

6- You cannot go for a double din music system as TATA has not given space for that, however some outer accessory guy can provide that. Beware of the wire cuts which will void your warranty.

 

7- There could have been a provision of dual horn system in XM but TATA has failed to provide that. And this can disappoint you on highways.
