Tata Manza [2011-2015] User Reviews

I got my Manza Aura ABS Quadrajet BS-IV on 31st march 2010, I was planning to buy a d'zire but then settled for the Manza. NO DOUBT, It's a GREAT Car. Lots of Space, excellent mileage, OK Interiors and a good value for money ITEM.

BUT BUT BUT

Ladies & Gentlemen,

When you go to a service station to get it serviced, those guys treat you like a Cab Driver, everything you ask for they will say a NO.When my manza went for a service, i complained about an underbody sound to which the srvice advisor said that sir you will have to pay for the checking. Also,there is a sound in the dashboard also to which they say that it's presen in every manza. Parts are not that easily available. So the MORAL of the story is that if one can do rounds & rounds of the service stations, then i should buy this CAR.

Value for monet, Good fuel efficiencyOnly upset with the bad after sales service

 

Exterior Very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words I am an army officer and wanted to buy a sedan, after evaluating various aspects I finally purchased new aura ABS BS IV Quadrajet BS IV in the month of May 2011 and has driven 4900 kms in hilly terrian, planes and on long drive. It has met all my expectations. AC of the car is very effective. Music system gives 3D surround sound. Its Bluetooth feature is magnificient. Fuel economy is very good. The stability of the vehicle at HIGH SPEED ( above 130 kmph) is very good. It is very spacious from inside and gives ample leg space to the rear seat occupants. It too has large boot volume. It meets all the requirement of a family. In the end I would like to say - IT IS A CLASS APART!

Good fuel economy.space and pickupNothing

Exterior

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

not good pick up; 13km/lt petrol. engine noisy

Ride Quality & Handling

very very good for long driving; i drive about 600 km stretch!!! dont have any pain in the back or neck or....... great

Final Words

BUT: HERE IS THE CATCH ABOUT MANZA; i have a graden and open garage; there are rats in  my garden; in spite of my  best efforts to get rid of it it showed me to develop an gandhian way of tolerance towards all living beings!!!! Now the problem is that the rats eats up all the wiring repeatedly and becoz of it i have regular problem of reverse sensor/ head light not working and last time engile rattling all zoomed to same cause and no solution for these as per my dealer. either have no garden and rats or leave the manza; i have driven 12000km so far and in that same place, i park my getz/innova and nano; only nano and manza has this problem. 

IAM SERIOUSLY PLANNING TO SELL THIS CAR!!! 

IF YOU HAVE RATS IN YOUR HOUSE THEN DONT BUY MANZA!!!!

Areas of improvement  

TATAS CAN PROVIDE FREE OFFER OF MOUSE TRAPS OR REGULAR AMC FOR CATCHING RATS LIKE PEST CONTROL OF INDIA; It will be nice lateral venture for tata becoz for one year amc for rat catching with PCI is about INR.11000(honest: enquire pci if you dont beleive it!!!)

Final Words

 Bought in Dec'10 and driven 15000km mainly in city kolkata. The problems:

1.Windshield is very thin for which the car gets very heated.

2.Please do check there is a coolant pipe inside the car just down below the dashboard in the middle which is always very hot, not covered and for which the heat can be felt and as by TATA engineers can't be done anything about as it helps in the heater air.

3.Shockers and rubber bush needs frequently change/overhauling.

4.Had to change the odometer & DIS system for malfunction after a year.

5.Headlamps needs frequently replacement as it keeps on getting fused.

6.Please do check on the front left side below the dashboard there is a black cage type instrument which regulates the AC air exhaust for open & close which in my car was always half open while the exhaust is closed which was defective and when i checked with workshop and personally found most of the manza AC exhaust not working as most of the people didn't knew as well as the engineer too which i had to show him to get my rectified.

Areas of improvement  

1.Needs rear AC vents as in indigo XL.

2.TATA workshop engineers needs to be trained & improved as they are the worst in class.

3.There should be a system where people can express their problems online with Tata Motors for problems getting rectified fast and the engineers/WKshp Managers come under the pressure.

4.Unlike the Advertisements the Manza petrol mileage needs to improve orelse its not VFM.

We have been getting our Manza car HR26BE6349 (October 2010 purchase) serviced regularly at your Authorized Service station Dhingra Motors, Gurgaon (Haryana).

We recently sent the vehicle for service and also complained for having lesser pickup at lower RPM.  The advisor suggested for turbo change and complete engine rework (on April 2013 just 2.5 years).

As the vehicle is covered under extended warranty, we expected the work to be done under ext warranty.  But to our surprise the surveyor has refused the warranty claim.  The reason given is the minor dent in the sump.  The dent being 2-3mm.

Being a design issue why didn’t TATA Motors recall the vehicles.

The Car 's bottom touches each and every bump if not driven carefully.

When the swift/ swift desire are completing 2-2.5Lac Km with the same engine, every Manza/Vista is failing at early stages. This shows the serious design issues by TATA.

On the most nobody responds to the complaints.

Full Review

2 years completed as owner of this car. It gives me more pride when people aroud looks at it when its passes by. I took Pearl colour and its so Sexy that people falls in love with it.  Even one of my neighour regret for not waiting one month and took Swift Dzire. After thoughly seeing my car, he was looked like a looser. Hats off to TATA. 

Exterior Very Good looks. Look like Ford fieasa/ Sx4. People are looking at car with surprise when it passes by. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) G8 Space, G8 features. You name it and it is there. All sorts of saftey warning and alarm, Bluetooth, Music system with CD, Control on steering wheel.  

Only bad thing I found is the hardness of seats. otherwise its a great car with just through away price.

IF Tata can improve their dealers and service stations in the same way they did in this car, I can challance No one can beat TATA. Gone are the day when Tata was synonomus to rattling, noice and other issues.

Just Buy

Fuel Economy ,Style , look space insideplastic inside

Exterior: Paint quality is so poor that within one year it will give a feel of 10 years old car , metal sheet use to make body is so think even single gentle touch causes dent, exhaust pipe is located in such a position that rear bumber always get black coz of its position , bumbers plastics are so bad that once they are to be opened cant be fixed as such ever .

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)Space is excellent , plastics quality is very poor .

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Its fuel pump is so poor it needed replacement during first month of my car and tragidy is company workshops dont have it available usually , its radiator fans and ac fans quality is so poor that my vehichle which was totally serviced from day one in authorised service station in just 70000 km it got over heated in city when taken to dealer they said it happen coz fans stop working they need replacement , they replaced but after that day my car started consuming engine oil i noticed it immidiatedly after it was over heated every long drive of 300 km started consuming half litre of engine oil and i was forced to sell my car in cheap coz dealer told me if i get my engine repaired will cost me 1,50,000 . I gave my car in throw away prise . I am disposing all TATA cars from now .

 

Ride Quality & Handling: If u r driving car version without ABS , EBD , it easily goes out of control on highways and specially on hills where it can easily skid away from highway or even overturn .

 

Final Words: CHEAP , nothing else no value for money no resale 

 

Areas of improvement  : Fuel pump , Radiator fans , air conditioning , plastics quality , exhaust pipe location , bumpers quality , avalibility of spares , extended warrenty should be made easier , feed back taken at dealer end or from company end must be handled very strictly .TATA can certainly do much better which its not doing .

 

 

Space , audio system , Bluetooth connectivity , steering mounted audio controls , good fuel economypaint quality , body material , bumpers , fog lamps ,overall plastics quality,position of exhaust

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox After a lot research I purchased my manza quadrazet lx which i bought home in 23.04 .2014. Till date it has run only 600 km. So it is too early to comment. Still whatever i have experienced is stated below.  I have purchased it from lexus motors kolkata. Whenever the vehicle was delivered I found some issues. 1. The  clutch release is to some extent jam at the  end  2. Gear box is not smooth, it was hard to shift  it to 1st gear  3. Various sounds from suspension  4. Poor pickup in 1,2,3 rd gear. I was astonishd to think how a dealer like lexus can deliver a vehicle with so many issues? On the very next day I took my  manza in durgapur expressway for a long drive to see how it performs in a buttersmooth surface. Though there is serious poor pickup in 1, 2, 3, gear but from 4 th it improved dramatically ant it was flawless in highway. Reached 140 km/hr easily with no vibration.  Now my question is to Tata that whenever they are making such a good highway car then why  the pick up is so poor in 1,2 and 3rd gear. On the very next day I took my manza to my favourite. TC motors, salap workshop to meet my SP (from where my sumo gold is serviced).  The sp  took only 1 hour to solve the issues. Also said nothing to be done regarding pick up as it is fixed. But the other issues solved excellently. Mileage is around 14. Expecting to get more after service. Let me see how it performs in future.

comfort, leg space, looks, interiorslacks smoothness in gear, fuel economy and poor pick up in 1, 2, 3 rd gear,

 

Exterior Nice front grill, Plane and simple design. Looks like an Indian lady. Awesome headlamps.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features provided are excellent. Bluetooth, MP3, USB etc. A very very spacious car. Rear seats are very comfortable but front seats should have got little more cushion for long drives.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance of TATA INDIGO MANZA is great considering its 90 PS diesel engine. I have a diesel engine Manza which gives me around 16.1 km/l of mileage in Bangalore traffic conditions and maintenance of TATA INDIGO MANZA is low considering that the parts quality has been improved in Manza and Aria.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Very easy to drive and fun on the empty roads.

 

Final Words It is my Gold of 2010 Diwali.

 

Areas of improvement Rear side left suspension gives some THUD sound sometimes during pot holes or breakers. I came to know about this issue prior to buying the car. But there is no worry as such.

 

I love every bit of it.Nothing considering its value for money.
