Full Review

Tata should stick to building trucks. I own a Ford and I test drove the Grande Gx today. Found the build and design very interesting. Engine was really very receptive - if a bit noisy. Tyres are really big. Paint and outside build finish good. But the interiors really sucked. The Auto power window button didn't work in its so called 'one-touch' mode. The door handles are so flimsy, one came off in my hands. When I asked to see the engine, I couldn't because the cable that activates the release had broken. The rear cup-holder came off its hinge. And the front dashboard is a shrine to the cheapest of cheapest plactic. Steering wheel lacked chunkiness. The on-road price came to 8.78 lakhs. A bit too much for something that comes with little or no refinement.

I strongly feel the Grande is really a good vehicle. It has the safari engine & belive me... i havent seen so much good interior space. Yes. I do agree that plastics could've been better. But, its not all that bad a vehicle. I feel the marketing morons at TATA should be fired for giving the SUMO tag to such a good vehicle. Why didnt they call this SAFARI Grande?? Mr. Ratan Tata, are you listening???

Friend, Better luck next time trying to trash the Grande. No one has bought your line so far

Really just wanted to ask were you trying to test drive it or acid test the flimsy components to add up to your list? Leaves me wandering :(
