12 July 2015 - I am back again to write another round of review. My car touched 50K kms last month. Still running strong. I changed my tyres at 48k. Engine is still refined and better smooth.
Had few proper with power windows as my kids play with that switch often. On highways, I get mileage of 20-24 depending on my driving.
On an average, maintenance costs me between 7000 to 11000 depending on type of oil I choose or extra things I get done.
AC has been fantabulous. However, had to change the AC filter in every service as I use AC most of the time. I felt AC is bit noisy when the car was new, but its less noisy as time pass by.
I broke my rear view glasses and luckily I avoided replacing the entire set. I got cheap replacements in JC road at just Rs 100. Thats Tata. Always room for Jugaad.

I bought this car in july 2010 from calicut. I travelled 12000 kms so far. I am v happy customer who would like tor recomment this car.
I shuttle b/w bangalore and my home town in kerala once in a month. Covering 700+ kms in 3 days, the great suspension and smoothness of the engine leaves me tireless after the journey.
The body is not so sturdy.its light and that is12 one reason how this car gives good mileage.
However, I feel that power is not enough when the car is fully loaded and A/C turned on; the pick up seems to dropdown. But this is more to expect for a 1.2 L engine.
To solve this you have to buy Polo or Punto which is way too costly.
Tata kept the cost low by having descent(but not cheap) interior(which I dont complain).
This car is real value for the money you pay.
I dont care about the re-sale value; afterall I am not gonna sell this car for atleast next 5 years.
Over all, I am satisfied customer and proud owner of owning an indian brand.
