    Exterior Persoanlly I have not liked the look of the car , may that be rear or front , I love chrome and see it across the body of the car. Paint quality is really good.Tyraine Wine color goes good with Manaza Elan . Fog lamps , Alloy wheels etc. Overall I personally did not like the shape of the car much however its ok  , Sideways it looks better , bear in mind style lies in the eyes of the beholder.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I am really impressed with the interiors, sofa like seats, Legroom , headroom, boot space in all is excellent, I would say marvelous, Bluetooth option really useful while you drive in cities. controls keys on the steering is good as you dont have to move your hands quite often to change music or Radio channels. Very comfy feeling when you get inside the car. This sedan is one of the best in the class for space. 100% value for money. I drove it for apx 1200 kms, 1st service over, I never felt tired drving this car.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As we all know Fiat engines are best in the world, it has a got a low NVH, perfomance is sluggish in 1st and 2nd gear however once you hit 1750 above rpm then it you can count the horses . It took couple of days for me to get used to this car as previously I had a Santro , once I got the hang of it trust me all smiles with Mileage and engine performance.Mileage n city 14kml and highway 18.5kpl. Gearbox is ok could have been more smooth. When you expect too much from TATA they underperform :).

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Quality of ride is excellent. Trust me, you will never feel tired when you ride this car . its sails very smoothly, Suspensions are good, always ensure to go very slow on speedbrakers and big potholes if you want the suspension longitivity. As the turning radius is less compared to other sedans, very comfy even on curves and blind turns. As I said earlier perfomance is sluggish in 1st and 2nd gear however once you hit 1750 above rpm then it you can count the horses.

     

    Final Words An excellent Value for Money Car . A family car . But if you want to flaunt in your friend circle this is not the type :).

     

    Areas of improvement Dealers should learn how to cater to potential customers. After sales service can further improve, however its improving by leaps and bounds as Tata started calling cutomers and taking feedback post service from the dealers.
