      On 30th May 2011 (day before yesterday) evening I took the delivery of newly purchased Tata Manza, AURA (ABS) having Chassis No. MAT613040BLC08481, Engine No. 101A2000-0142453, Registration No. DL5CG1832 from M/s Raghuvanshi Enterprises Private Limited, Dilshad Garden, Delhi - 110095. I have faced the following problems with this vehicle and the dealer:-

      At the time of delivery blue tooth feature of music system was not working properly (I was able to hear the incoming voice but my caller or receiver was not able to hear my voice). Showroom staffer told me that there might be some issues relating to connection and it would be resolved once I drive the vehicle for 4-5 kilometres. The same is not working properly till now. Please note that I have purchased TATA Manza, AURA (ABS) version and the company is charging extra money for this feature.  

      The diesel which showroom provided in the new car was not sufficient enough to cover a distance of 5 kilometres. New car could not reach the petrol pump of Anand Vihar colony (Masih Automobiles) from the showroom in Dilshad Garden. The distance between petrol pump and showroom is not more than 5 kilometres. I took help of people to push my new car so that I can reach to the petrol pump. After getting the fuel filled in my new car, it could not start for 20 minutes for the reasons beyond my knowledge despite of repeated attempts by me to start the car. This issue I bring to the knowledge of Mr. Sajid Khan, Salesman of showroom immediately and asked him to send the help. Before the help reached car started with my own attempts. I am not able to understand what were the reasons of non starting of car. For your information I have been driving Santro Zing for last eight years but have never faced this type of problem. 

      Despite all this, I tired to reconcile myself and forget whatever my experience was at the delivery stage.

      On 31.05.2011 morning at 8:00 am at the time of leaving my residence for the office, when I started my car, its fuel pipe started leaking freely like a rivulet. Within a time span of 30-40 seconds, 4-5 liters of diesel had got leaked from the fuel pipe (still you can see the diesel stains on the road in front of my residence) for the reasons beyond my knowledge. Since I have to reach my office for urgent meeting I took my old car and left for the office. Again I raised the issue immediately with Mr. Sajid Khan, Salesman and he raise this issue internally within his company but despite this no senior person from the showroom was bothered to call me up and provide me assurance. After complaint Mr. Sachin from the workshop had came to repair the car and after repair he assured me that he had rectified the fault. My concern is that how can a new car have this type of fault? No senior manager from the showroom was bothered to inform me about the fault and its seriousness. I have never faced this problem with my Santro Zing. 

      On 31.05.2011 evening I drove the vehicle and took it to my in-laws house. When I reached there again, I found that the diesel was dripping from my car and today morning also I have observed that some diesel has spilled. 

      While driving car in the evening I had observed that the clutch of the vehicle is very hard and had some sort of bubble effect or you can say it was not smooth. How can new vehicle have the hard clutch, as my eight year old Santro Zing has better clutch than new Tata car? 

      I have observed that whenever somebody is getting in or getting out from the rear seat a strange noise comes from the shockers. How new vehicle shockers can gives a noise? 

      I also observed that a strange sound is coming from the area behind the rear seat. I am not able to locate the reasons for that sound.  

      Today morning I avoided taking the new car to my office which is around 25 kilometres away from my residence apprehending it might stop in between or diesel may start leaking or may face another trouble. All the above issues listed by me gives a clear indication that the vehicle has some manufacturing defect.

      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.

      Exterior Too good look except traditional TATA style nose.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Spacious from inside, especiall at the rear side.Drove at a stretch 300 kms, with 2 Adults and 2 kids 12 yrs old) comfortably placed at the rear seat.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine responds well above 2500-3000 RPM, once the TURBO gets engaged.Gear knob seems little hard/noisy while shifting from top to down (5-4-3-2).

      Ride Quality & Handling The car remains very much under controll even at speed of 120-130.

      Final Words VERY GOOD CAR IN ITS SEGMENT. VERY MUCH VALUE FOR MONEY CAR. Had compared Verna, SX-4, Ford Fiesta(all diesel). Found Manza uncomparable with its features provided.

      Areas of improvement Addition of real AC console could have put this car much ahead of its competitive cars. Twisting of seat belts is a major problem. Insertion of keys is not smooth either in ignition or even at the locks located on the exteriors(Doors/Dickey). There is no space near the clutch to relax your feet.  

      Big Boot Space,Two charging points,Good ground clearanceSpace near clutch very poor, very light coloured seat covers,AC vents could be more directionable.

      Exterior

       Hi Guys.

      i purchased the TATA INDIGO MANZA Quadrajet Aura on the 12th of March 2010. My car has clocked 32000 Kms over a period of 16 Months at an average running of 2000kms/Month.The exterior styling of the car is best in its class if you compare it to the Swift Dzire or even the Toyota ETIOS. Specially the front grille gives it a very upmarket feel in its segment.The rear however will not win many hearts.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       The interiors is something that TATA has really improved on if you compare it to the earlier INDICA/INDIGO era. The odometer has a very retro look and a combination of the black and white dials actually justify the tagline "CLASS APART".The quality of materials used are a bit tacky which is understandable as the car is accordingly priced. The interior and the boot space can be compared to that of a Toyota Corolla  and is a major USP.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       The Engine is the same 1.3litre Multijet diesel which also does the job in the swift, swift dzire, Ritz,Punto, Linea and the SX4 diesel. The engines are tuned accordingly for better fuel effeciency. The car drives well, However it has some turbo lag under 2000rpm. However once the needle crosses 2000rpm, the Turbo kicks in and this car is FUN and goes all VVvvvvrrrrrooooooommmmm !!!!.

      I drive with a light foot, so i have managed to get maximum out of this car in terms of fuel effiency. In City conditions with the AC on i have managed to achieve 15 Kms/Litre. On highways 19kms/Litre. I had taken the car to goa few months back on the beautiful NH4 Highway where i drove the car for 625 kms at a stretch. It gave me an astonishing figure of 22 Kms/Litre.

      Moral of the story: If you give the car respect by driving at decent speeds and with a light foot and no sudden braking, The car will reward you with a greater Fuel effeciency and Low Maintenance.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       The ride quality is decent, however not great on bumpy roads. You will  here some noise from the suspension over speed breakers. The ride and handling at high speeds is very good.

      Final Words

       This car is a great VFM offering. However the biggest mistake we people do is buy a SPACIOUS car like a MANZA with all the upmarket offerings and features, space, comfort etc.and compare it to the Citys, the fiestas, the vernas etc.. We nowhere think about getting such a big spacious car at a price which is almost 2.5 to 3 lacs cheaper than the D-Segment sedans. I guess the day we understand this phenomena, all our questions will be answered and we will accept the fact that, if one wants a big sedan at an affordable cost, one will have to compromise and accept few niggles that come along with a TATA Product.

      Areas of improvement  

       Quality of Materials used can be better,Suspension can be better, Better Service network, Good sales executive with propoer product knowledge,

       

      Space, Fuel effeciency,Comfort, VFMNiggles being a TATA product, Pathetic customer service,

      Exterior Not a catchy design but very ergonomical!

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Tata cars are always spacious. Manza's space and comfort is amazing!

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very well refined to make it the smoothest engine from Tata Motors portfolio. 

      Ride Quality & Handling I went over 150kmpl and the ride quality is superb. The mileage I recorded on highways is 24kmpl and within the city is 17kmpl.

      Final Words If you are looking for comfort and value for money then this is a no-brainer. Just go for it. If you are focussed on style then as always, be willing to pay too high premium for other sedans that have style and not performnce as their USP!

      Areas of improvement Plastics quality can be improved.

      Exterior Good looking.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, comfort- tilted steering column options missed. At the time of booking it is avilable at the time of delivery not received. when questioned the dealer they dont have any information. very bad experience with new car. contacted tatamotors should review very seriously. It damage the customer satisfaction.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Yet to be checked run only 400 kms.

      Ride Quality & Handling Final gears pick up is less.

      Final Words Over all looking good. But the agreed features at the time of booking is not avilable at the time of delivery. Tilt & adustable steering column is missing. Purchased from TAL- coimbatore. deralers also dont know this. When i contacted TAL they replied that they also dont know and contacting TATA MOTORS one week back. on 9/7/11 TAL told that it is discontinued in this model from june and they received the message ony 7/7/11. Now all the customers r suffered. TATA MOTORS shuld take decession immedieatly to compensate this.

      good style, fuel economy yet to checkMising adjustable - tilt steering column,

      Exterior The exterior is good to look at. The paint and body works are good and sturdy. The headlights and fog lights at front and rear are very well placed to give proper illumination of the road in front and obstacls behind while parking.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Carpets and seat decor go well with the interior design. The locable vanity box and bottle / glass holders are well placed in front as well as at the back. The driver seat has height adjustment as well are steering alignment adjustment. Power windows and power steering add to comfort. The AC kicks in cool at a fast pace. CD player can belt out your choice music. Air Bags make the drive safe alongwith ABS and EBD.

      The Boot space is real big and so is the space between the seats. With my seat (driver) fully pushed back the rear passengers have no complaint. My daughter says the rear seat is wide enought to sleep off on a long drive.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine response to the accelerater padel is super. The Manze just take off. The fuel economy is very Good - Diesel giving 16 K/l in city driving is very good. The gear ratios are well dispersed. And there is more saving as the Qudrajet does not recommend any costly Super Diesel or any other additive - they just want regular plain diesel. 

      Ride Quality & Handling Ride is very good and comfortable. Handling in traffic situation is smooth. Even the turning radius is good for big car like Manza.

      Final Words When I was considering to change my Opel Corsa I was considering besides Ford, Hyundai and Maruti diesel cars the TATA Manza also. The price factor was eveluated and reviews read, althought there were not many reviews on TATA Manza since it was  home made desi car. But, this Manza beats every other car in any which way you compare it. However, I would like Tata to start a 'Contact the Owner' system as their dealers cause a lot of avoidable bitterness. The dealer in quertion was Autolink of New Delhi.

      Areas of improvement The Car as such does not require any improvement except a Rear Glass wash and wipe. Delhi is full of Dust and that sticks - need to wash it off.

      A VERY REFINED CAR. GOOD FUEL ECONOMY, GOOD INTERIOR STYLE AND GOOD ROAD HANDLING.A REAR WIPER SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.

      Exterior FRONT LOOK IS VERY GOOD. BUT YOU CANNOT DISTINGUES BETWEEN MANZA AND VISTA. BOTH LOOKS SIMILAR TILL YOU OBSERVE DICKY.

      Interior (FeaFEtures, Space & Comfort) CHEEP PLASTIC. IN FEW PLACES THE SHARP EDGES REQUIRES BIT TAPPERING. OTHERWISE VALUE FOR MONEY.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox THE PETROL VERSION IS NOT SO FULE EFFICIENT AND I GET AROUND 10-11 KPL.

      Ride Quality & Handling EXCELLENT RIDE AND GOOD GRIP ON ROAD AT HIGH SPEED.

      Final Words THE MAIN ASPECT ANY OWNER WILL LIKE TO SEE IS THAT HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TROUBLE FREE AND THE COST OF MAINTANENCE  IS LOW. I HAVE EXPERIANCED THAT MY CAR REQUIRES FREQUENT VISIT TO GARAGE. IN A PERIOD OF 1 YEAR THE CAR WAS FREQUENTLY TAKEN TO SERVICE CENTER FOR ONE OR THER REASON. SURPRISING  AIRFILTERS WERE CHANGED TWICE BY AUTHORISED DEALERS IN DELHI WITH IN PERIOD OF ONE YEAR(TECHNICALLY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CONVINCE ME THE REASON). RECENTLY AFTER 3RD SERVICE THE CAR RADIATOR FAN FAILED ON HIGHWAY. THE TATA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TOLD TO VISIT NEAREST AUTHORISED DEALER FOR FAN REPLACEMENT. IT TOOK MORE THAN 10 DAYS FOR THE DEALERTO ARRANGE SPARES AND THAT TO AFTER LOGING FORMAL COMPLAIN WITH THE CO. FOR MORE THAN 10 DAYS THE CAR REMAINED PARKED UNSED. IF SUCH PROBLEMS ARE SEEN IN GURANTEE PERIOD WHEN THE REPAIR IS FOC WHAT EXPENDITURE ONE SHOULD  EXPECT WHEN THE CAR BECOMES OLD AND OUT OF GURANTEE PERIOD.

      Areas of improvement IN THE INFORMAL DISUSSION WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THE SERVICE EXECUTIVE I  HAVE CONCLUDED THAT MOST OF THE PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE BAD MANUFACTURING. THE  PDC AS POINTED OUT BY MAZNA OWNER IS ALSO NOT SYSTAMATIC. THE NEW CAR SHOULD NOT GO TO SERVICE CENTER OTHER THAN ROUTINE SERVICE. IN ANY OTHER CASE THE REPLACEMENT OF PART SHOULD TRIGER THE RETRO EFFECT ANY THE REASON FOR THE PART FAILURE SHOULD BE TRACED TO FACTORY/ VENDOR LEVEL. THE MANUFATURING DEFECTS OFTEN SHOWUP ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AND LEAD TO PRESSURES ON THE OLD STYLE SERVICE CENTERS. TATA SHOULD TRY TO ACHIVE THE STANDARDS /BANCHMARKS SET BY SAY HONDA. THEY SHOULD CONSIDER SETTING UP EXCLUSIVE SERVICE CENTERS FOR HIGH END VEHICLES AND NOT TO BE CLUBED WITH TAXI OWNERS. ATTITUDE OF THE SERVICE CENTERS WHEN DEALING WITH IS CUSTOMERS WILL HEPL IN INCREASING ITS GOODWILL/SALES.

      VERY COMFORTABLE VEHICLE SPL. ON LONG DRIVENOT A TROUBLEFREE CAR. BE READY TO WASTE TIME AND ENERGY AT SERVICE STATIONS

      Tata manza is d only sedan car in this price. It has competition with ford fiesta and swift dzire. Swift dzire's interior is not upto d mark for that price. And ford fiesta has a lot of maintainence so this I recommend is the best sedan for this price. If you don't belive me take it's test drive and u will believe me. Tata has improved it's engine. For more features watch the youtube aajtak review for manza. Trust me it's best. Tata manza has good space and nice colours. The best colors are Monarch Red and White. It has good music system and great speakers My review is true. Buy d manza. It has good handling and the steering is very stylish with audio controls as well. Its boot capacity is 460 litres and which is fantastic. Overall it's a fantabulous car. All the reviews are wrong. It's mileage is 19 in d highways and 16 in the cities and overall is 18.1 kmpl. It's rear seats are very comfortable and interior is absolutely luxury. It's road grip is good and the drive is very smooth. It has a nice speedometer.It's the best sedan car of Tata. It has a information box in it which tells the mileage,time and also the distance which can be travelled in the remaining fuel.It also shows the outside temperature. It will be d best sedan afte 25 years also in this price.

      Space,Comfort,Fuel efficiency and interiorRear view is not as good but it's not too bad also
