Hi All

I have noticed recently in our thread that there have been lot of discussions based out of TATA SIERRA. Hope you all remember the punch line...

"IT TAKES THE ROUGH WITH THE SMOOTH"


I own a TATA SIERRA TURBO, personally i feel its a great machine.Defenitely a raging bull. So thought of bringing all the bulls together in the forum...cheers:

I will start off with my bull, Just one right now as i have rest in my personal laptop.

The best drive i ever did is 14 hrs from Bangalore to Trivandrum(Kerala). Just excited for my similar trip on 24th with the new 2004 Safari gearbox on play

You have surely maintained your 'bull' well, what do you feed it? The wheels dont look old or worn out, theres hardly any scratch or dent visible, 'hats off to you'.
An ownership review, your different kinds of experience would be a welcome. I believe :- 'You can judge a person/personality by the way he keeps his wheels'.
Also do post some more pictures soon as you can.

Lovely ride. Why don't you put dark sunfilm? Will give it a better look and also increase cooling of the ac considering the amount of glass area the sierra has.

@Reddy, is it a 4x4 ?
@hillram, lovely set of alloys there.

Hope Tata gets out one like this again soon. A 4x4, common-rail powered machine.

@Hillram - Whats the tech spec? Is it a turbo Charged or a Normal version. Those front vents look really kool .As Tejas suggested a dark black films would be really kool on it, yeah but defenitely we will have issues on night driving.

Well said, there is market space for a compact 4wd SUV and introducing Sierra, of course with the obvious modifications as needed, would find buyers.

A SUV that can do quite a bit of offreading not only at our backyard hills but also that can be a comfortable cruiser for 2000 km before we find "that hill or place" to do offroading and travel.

Anyway thanks much for these pics, Sierra was the vehicle I always chased up on my bike during my younger years, to have a better look.
