Its sheer comfort as long as you are in the drivers seat. But do pray that you never need to sit in the service centre lobby. Though things have come a long way since the TVS days, its still along way to go. Its not about customer care. ITs about the technical knowledge of handling a car that has been build with the experience gathered over 100 years. And how well can someone with just over 10 yrs experience handle such a car. Well...visit a TATA service centre. You'll know.
Personally i'm really satisfied with the choice. The car is worth atleast 3L more the price. Just look at what it gives you and compare it with cars at that price.
Pirelli Tyres
...
and all those headturns when you pass through - Priceless!!
The one thing i miss is a sun/moon roof. The vehicle would have felt great with one of those.
But we end up paying that extra money over years as fuel costs. BUt i feel its worth every penny you pay. |
I second everything you have said. The sun/moon roof would have been awesome. The headturns are really priceless and so many of them.

I have recently installed Green Cotton Storm filter and custom made headers with Free Flow exhaust. It has been just couple of days after the modifications. I am planning to post a report on my experience after I drive the car for some 500 kilometers. The initial impression is good. But you may not be interested if you are particular about the super silent engine. Switching to Synthetic oil will definitely help. After researching much, I will suggest go for Mobil 1 5w50.

You may like to check you service book. Each leaflet has instructions on the back. It will give you an idea.
