    To everyone who is planning to buy Zest, please read this for one time before you even think of going ahead with your purchase.

     I Purchased the car XT Petrol in Dec 2014.  

    Since February, steering wheel of car is not self centering at slow speeds when starting off. Tata plant team "certifies" that there is no problem in car after 8 visits to the workshop, once for 8 days at a stretch.

     Car was in service center for 8 days for above problem, new problem introduced - driver seat started giving creaking noise. Tata says it is repairable but we will replace as a special case.

     Handbrake was not working on slopes with even just 2 passengers, had to get it fixed.

     AC stopped working one day, started working by itself the next day at workshop, Tata found everything ok so according to them there is no problem.

     Reverse parking sensor sounds suddenly stopped and then started working suddenly.

     Sudden automatic horn when locking with remote key one day - for precisely 30 minutes. Then went off by itself.

     Boot spring became stiff in less than 2 months, service advisor insisted that it is normal wear and tear, had to get it fixed in front of me.

     Driver side sun visor was vibrating badly, service advisor insisted that it is same on all zests, had to pursue to get it replaced.

     Rattling noise in dashboard - had to get 3 service center visits to get it fixed.

     DRLs stopped working suddenly, Tata motors gave me "logic" to start them if they stop working.

     Don't even ask about mileage.

     Trust me you will have a hard time.

     Good looks, rear space, infotainmentEverything else
