I don't know the end result or outcome, but right now it sounds good that something is happening.

I got a reply asking my engine number, chasis number etc. After providing all the details no response even after a week 
Also, I am thinking of going to consumer court on this issue. Is it ok for manufactures to change such things after selling the car ? Remember Manza uses synthetic oil and the oil cost itself will be close to 3500 for every 10 K Kms. Add to this a conservative paid service cost of 1200 and wheel balancing and alignment...... cost shoots upto around 6000. Not acceptable to me. Please share your views. Are you guys comfortable with this maintenance cost and synthetic oil change at every 10 K ? I bought manza assuming it is economical to run. Even my Safari service does not cost so much every 10 k :( |
I am not sure what you are referring to here. I have not received any such update by my service advisor.
Also - in their new AMC plan (sorry yet to upload) - it is like the BMW extended warranty. Takes care of almost everything you can imagine.
Total peace of mind.

You can switch to Selenia WR 5W40 oil. That will reduce your maintenance cost. For the traffic/road condition in Bangalore it will be good for the engine to change oil at 10K interval?
*Edit*
Sorry, I realized lately you been having a conversation with Amit there on that thread as well. Hope you are able to go for Selenia WR 5W40. |
Indeed I read that. & its as advised by TM as well. Given in the 2nd or 3rd slide.

Nevertheless, much needed "initiative" from TML. Finally they are viewing their customers as non-cab drivers..
With the Manza, they have a solid platform to build on. Hope sanity prevails and we seen some VFM UVs coming out. They should do a la Ertiga with the Manza product line, not just the estate and CS skew's.
Lastly, they need to care about fit and finish - else they will become irrelevant. |
Excellent idea there, I must say.
They have got an extremely tired and tested platform, well accepted. Loads of goodies too.
Maybe climate control, driver side arm rest, rear air-con - should add to the appeal and value.

Why should this happen ? What is wrong ? We have already heard of many Nanos burning up. Can't this be avoided ? Investigate and find out the problem TATAs, PLEASE !!! |
Can you please share with all of us this article? From the newspaper? Because I don't think any such news has been heard around here of Manza catching fires.
Please do share so we can all be alert and safe and know if any such snag does exist.

Indeed - they showed off the Auto-box in the Aria in Auto Expo 2012.
I doubt its coming anywhere this year to the Manza.
Their problem is they are SLOW. In the initial updates, in the marketing thrust, in the re-vamping.
They have Manza CS quite ready to roll-out. That is sub 4 meters and such a strong competition to the Dzire.
2 things that I wish to add :
1. My relative in Kutch who bought cancelled a Vento given their horrible attitude and bought a Manza based on my reports - had some problem with the Blaupunkt speaker & HUD and the dealer was making him run around with useless excuses. He contacted me asking for some guidance. I just forwarded the email id of 2 people from Tata Motors.
He too was amazed at the response. What was pending since 2 months was resolved in 3 days with instant phone calls, prompt service and solved the issue offering him good peace of mind.
2. My sincere apologies but I have forgotten to post about the AMC.
They have removed it from the slide, I shall scan the brochures and post it here.
Might try and do it today itself. Sorry for the delay.
