Bought this buddy in July 13th , believe me its the best in class and in budget of off course 5.X LKHS . with all the features and its TATA , before going for this buddy had been to Kalayani motors for dezire , the response was no good directly told with attitude sir you need to wait for 1year ( thought what the ? ) , just walked out of it in Mysore road.
Checked in concord , response was amazing but did not buy from there as finance guy was a kind of :( Then in Prerana Motors , well all much impressed in the looks of the car .
Sounded robust and off course he had cool cute looks. prior to this had esteem and I am a family man , long travels with much luggage too , so was looking for car with dickey space too . checked out normal indigo and CS found CS much impressive booked it ,
Regarding Car Have been driving this one every day to office around 60 KM every day. In city giving god mileage of 15 from beginning and its has not improved. I feel its nice as per service person telling its nice other cars stay at 14 in city well in Bangalore with out AC is not possible .
What I got with this car is only power steering its good not so good as in small cars like wagon R . but worth paying as company fitted. Added seat covers deck , auto cop a total of 37 K . so total cost of 5.5 on road + additional
Well it needs some time to get adjusted on to this after driving a petrol car , pick up is nice , on long run highway he is maintaining 19 to 20 KM PL , with 5 people .
The max I have ripped is 130 KM, but vehicle is still steady , but to get to that he will not do it just like that he needs to trained to do it slowly. Has completed 10, 000 KMs till now and mileage is still same steady maintained , 15 city , 19-20 HWY ,
At 9K kms , got problem of coolant leakage , they fixed it in 45 minutes Prerana peenya .Also has some suspension problem getting seat cursing noise yet to be fixed but not fairly noticeable while driving with music on .
Paint looks really good but be very careful its gets pealed of with small kiss from other vehicles and u know it hurts. Well u can also hear some plastic noise from door bars . Has any one facing this problem with inside plastic used for door handle ?
Now its time for updating the review. Had been to kerala for friends marriage. We were 4 in this car and whether is at high in TN and KL. Running AC in 2 was really sufficient it cools fast we can feel the effect too .
Driven 1300 KMS in 3 days. Tried ripping at 140 Km/hr , believe me this car is good with no vibrations effect at all .But we need a very long stretch with less traffic .Millage is still same for me 15 to 16 in city and 20 on highways .
