Frankly no cons except your budget.

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.
