Most Helpful Review

Best car ever made by Tata motors

It is the best car for the Indian Market. It's been 3 years now, I've driven 16000 km and still feel best. The car gives confidence on high speed but should not go over speeding above 120km. Mileage is best when you drive in 3rd gear. The car is better than MG, VG, SKODA, and Suzuki because it's spacious never disappoints you on bad roads. The Tata service center works like a company so you don't feel luxury customer satisfaction. The spares get wear and tear.

False promise from Kia

Kia is a cheating company .they fool the customers of India by giving false price. I have booked and waited for 2 months now i come to know that they suddenly increased price of 60000 rs on car price. If they cant give the car at offered price than why they did scam by false advertising about prices? Kia is not a brand they do just a false promise and big cheater. Never buy this. Any time they close the company and say bye bye to Indians.
