Most Helpful Review | Safe, affordable and super Punch. After getting a good deal for my 13 years old hatchback I was planning for a new one and visited car showrooms near me and finally decided to buy this Tata Punch Pure (MT). Tata Motors Showroom sales team is very friendly and cooperative here and there was no waiting period drama. After doing finance related paperwork I made the down payment and the same day they delivered the car. Although this is a 5 seater, this car is called a compact SUV and it is corroborated by it's exterior, rugged design, high ground clearance, wide cabin space and large boot but you can handle it or park it in a space required for another hatchback. I have driven this car about a thousand kilometers and can say the driving experience is just mind blowing. Driver's sitting position gives the feel of driving SUV. Front and side visibility are more than enough for cornering, parking and it's very helpful while driving in bumper to bumper traffic. High ground clearance and stiffer suspensions add confidence on rough roads and irregular speed breakers. It delivers mileage of 20+Kmpl on highway easily. Along with 2 airbags all basic safety features are included from the base model of the car and on a price of 6 Lakh I think it is the most cost effective variant. Maintenance or service cost seems to be reasonable. Pros: 1) Safety rating 5-star. 2) Two driving modes. 3) Auto start/stop feature. 4) Wide body cladding prevents the car from scratches and believe me it looks cool on my grey color. 5) The car is wide enough in second row for 3 persons in terms of shoulder room. 6) All seats are very comfortable with decent thigh support. 7) Muscular look (although it's personal choice). 8) 90° all doors opening. Cons: 1) A friend of mine says it feels underpowered (but personally I don't think so). 2) Cabin noise and vibration (again I don't feel so. May be it's because of Phase-2 car which I have). Verdict: If you have limited budget and you want a safe SUVish car. Go for it . | POOR QUALITY AND SERVICES 4 S-CROSS BY NEXA COCHIN <p>Friends, I must say this vehicle is such a pathetic quality in my short experience, which is as short as 5-6days doing just 279kms. I had a narrow escape from a head on collision with a tanker truck while overtaking a vehicle. All of us have a calculation while overtaking. This vehicle suddenly stopped releasing its engine power during the overtake and I was stuck half way through and almost got hit.</p> <p>I found the check engine on and opened the engine room to have a look. I found the turbo hose broken. Next step was to reach the people who sold me this vehicle. None of them were available probably being a weekend sunday. Next step was to look for roadside assistance and I could not find any such numbers stuck to the vehicle. I tried most of the numbers in the service network booklet and could not reach anyone for help. Finally I found the toll free number at the last page of the booklet which can be reached only from a BSNL line. WOW. what a support. Upon getting through I said I am in an emergency situation and needs immediate support. Since I could not hear the voice properly, I conveyed my mobile number and waited for a call return as promised by the agent. I waited for more than 15mins and decided to take another car and continue my journey.</p> <p>After I reached back, Nexa team visited my home to inspect the damage and suggested replacing the damaged hose, without giving any valid reason for the damage caused. I was told verbally by one of the senior that it may be a rodent attack;). The vehicle didn't have a PDI OK sticker on it and I questioned the matter as I had already written the warranty clause in the Owner's manual.</p> <p>7th clause - Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:</p> <p>It is responsibility of each owner to:</p> <p>Make certain that the PDI card was completed at the time of delivery of the vehicle;</p> <p>The best part is this manual is delivered to an owner while delivering the vehicle.:) so I need not say how far we can ensure the Owner's warranty responsibilities. Please read the booklet if you get a chance.</p> <p>While I pointed all these matters, they never had any convincing answers for most of my concerns. They simply wanted to take the vehicle away and replace the damaged part and return the car to me.</p> <p>As the damage has happened to a turbo hose. The damage will have effect on other parts of the engine with dirt entering the air channel & also damaging the sensors in that area with impact damage and abrasion to the engine, which will start to reduce the efficiency of the turbo. Why would I be suffering such a damage at the 279th kilometer of a new vehicle. I demanded a decent compensation as they refused to accept the return of the damaged car or give me a new car.</p> <p>I have informed them that I will be left with no option other than moving legal to protect my interests, to which they are least bothered.</p> <p>Still it is better for them not to accept the following facts and continue selling the car as much as possible by reducing price as frequently as possible. Please notice the price drop from launch time and do not blindly trust the quality of Nexa series from maruti, as I found the rubber, electrical and other non metal molded parts are all substandard, which will have serious damages causing to the engine and other systems sooner. A search for S Cross reviews revealed the severe sensor issues which is making the vehicle malfunction in many ways. I suspect this turbo hose damage could be due to the faulty sensors.</p> <p>My sincere advice to S Cross Buyers is to open the engine room and check on the above mentioned parts and its quality. You will find the S Cross Bonnet cover so low in weight compare to a Ford Eco Sport. Check the body toughness and compare with other cars in the same class such as duster, eco sport, Etios cross etc. Front Air Bags are statutory and mandatory according to the RTA in india. Dealers project it as a feature offered from their big heart.</p> <p>I must say. Just don't buy this car for its good reasons considering the hidden cheating elements in it and the attitude of the company.</p> <p>I regret changing my decision not to go for Creta, who offered INR. 100000 more for my old car. I opted for S Cross because they were willing to deliver immediate, which has bombed my expectations.</p> <p>Friends, A Big NO NO NO to S Cross & Nexa Cochin by Popular.</p>NOTHING FOR NOWPOOR QUALITY |
