Manza the new launch from TATA is the best looking car in the portfolio of TATA cars. I recently bought this car(Monarch Red). Initially, I had lots of doubts about this new model and did lot of survey and finally got convinced with this model. Let me demarcate the review in to two parts. I believe that you would have read enough reviews about this new model and I don’t want to write a review just for the sake of writing it. I’m hoping that this review will add some value.

My expectations were:
1) Lots of space
2) Economical
3) Fuel efficiency
Here are my observations.
The car looks massive from both inside and outside. The major advantage is the boot space. I don’t think any car in this category has this much boot space. You will feel like as if you were travelling in a MERC.I had compared it with couple of other cars in this segment and I think I made the right choice. I had been too tempted by the Manza for the pride of owning a Sedan. The others in contention for me were - the Dzire, Linea, and the Verna. I discarded the Dzire because I feel that the boot has been grafted on in a tacky manner. The Linea and Verna are really good cars but are too big for me! I mean the budget…. Manza seemed the obvious choice as it looked very sleek and sophisticated, priced well below the competitors.The other plus-point is the fuel-efficiency. My car gives me a mileage of 14 km in the city and am not sure about the mileage in highways. Will update you later.
The first flaw I found in the car was that the car just doesn’t have any great power in the third gear! The second flaw is the plastics used in the car. I believe that these small things will be rectified in the long run.
If you are looking for a car that
1) Runs on Diesel
2) Suitable for long drives.
3) Provides a capacious boot space
4) Provides ample leg space for all 5 passengers
This car is definitely a value for money. Now I feel much relaxed and satisfied after having purchased this one.
I will update you with some more info after the first service.
