    Exterior Looks good from a distance,but paint quality bad .all the door alingnment has gone ,i told them three times they tried but unsuccessful,gaps has increqsed between door n car body when the door is closed.even bootcover lid has the same story.has to shut the door with force.chips of paint has fallen here n there and got rusted.with in 8th month of buying.finishing at the corners of doors n each part is so ppor you can see wide gaps in each corner,rear n front bumper locks are loose now n i can see gap of 5mm .tata service centre says its rubber made lock n tend to loosen up after some time.but it wold be so fast i am surprised.when i bhougt it after reviewin many cars i was satisfied as the time passed by i started feeling tata is no good except price and space.no doubt service centre is good but it is of no value if your car doesnot work to your satisfaction.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space-good,comfort -good,now come to plastic very bad ,nuts started to get loose only after 8000 km.plastic makes vibrations n noise even on slightly eneven road.makes my head dizzy.dash board has loosened up even before 3rd service.makes noise as if i am sittin in a CHAKDA.i am a smooth rider  though.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pick up ok after 2500 rpm ,engine sounds good[fiat engine],fuel economy 12km/ltr in city without ac n 13.5 to 14 km/ltr on highway with/without ac.i have been on 8 trips so far each more than 6oo km.each time fuel efficiency was checked , figure was same.they say after fuel change in 3rd service it will improve by 1 to 1.5 km on highway.but i doubt it let's see.gear box not smooyh at all i thought it will smothen out but it is still hard and 2nd to 3rd gear shift is too long.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Handling stiffer than all hyundai, n maruticars.or say chey toyota whatever you say.seems like power steering has halfpower .some times it feels nice as it gives feeling of grip.my car vibrates a lot at speed of 60.and again starts vibrating at 120.i got wheel balancing done three times but of no use.manager of telmos automobile says it not unusual for these cars.now what i am supposed to do?where to report now any suggestion.even my car doesnot have aux n pendrive socket.even THOUGH  its jan 2010 LE model.TATA R U LISTENING?

     

    Final Words IF WANT CLASS DONT BUY IT. ITS MY FIRST N LAST CAR OF TATA.

     

    Areas of improvement ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE MENTIONED .TATA WHY TO MAKE HEAVY CARS IF PLASTIC CANT BEAR IT AND ALL THE CARS HAVE HIGH LEVEL OF NVH.EVEN TATA SAFARI.WHY YOU CANT SEE THE FINISH OF OTHER CRS IN MRKET ,GO N SEE THE FINISHING OF BEAT , SANTRO WHICH R AT THE SAME PRICE TAG.SEE THE LONGIVITY OF YOUR PARTS IN CAR.
