| ![]() It has been a long time since I posted any update about my GenX. It's about 6000km now and she has been giving me a peaceful and trouble free ride all these days. No rattles or squeaks from any part of the car. Mileage is around 13.5 to 14 km/l in Bangalore city. This is the maximum I had been able to achieve over a long term. Weak brake issue is manageable after I adjusted the switch on the foot pedal. The jumpy idling issue is still present though it happens only during sunset. ![]() Another issue that I am facing is the fading of headlamp reflectors on the top and minute horizontal cracks appearing on the headlamp lens. Planning to get both the units replaced under warranty. Looks like the lamp unit quality in the GenX is worse than that in the previous gen twist. Also planning to get the remote controlled hatch release that they have introduced in the GenX Celebration Edition for more convenience. Was thinking of getting a dummy key made to hand over to the security at malls but the remote controlled hatch seems a better idea. I'm still not sure if the remote release is cable based or wireless. Looking at the price of about 3k it could be wireless? Added a nappa leather custom stitched steering cover from Karlssons and boy! does it look good and feel good! The grippy leather combined with the light steering is a pleasure to use in the city. |

I remember your note about the AR vision rear view camera in the pic. Are you finding it that useful still ? Meanwhile 1.5K done now in two months and about to give for the first service sometime in the coming week. Hugely convenient and totally trouble free driving so far with the auto doing full justice to its intent. A few bugs/features ![]() 1) If I floor the accelerator while in neutral the engine rpm does not increase linearly. After about half way through , it tops out and makes a whirring noise. Should I get it checked ? 2)The driver's seat has a small storage space (or is it ? ) on the right side below. Never noticed it and the passenger does not have it ! 3)There's a rear air vent in the boot. Again strangely only on the left. Also the flap has to be pushed from the inside to open. How does it then open up then if the air flows in from the vent outside ? ![]() 4) Another stupid question - the fuel tank capacity is 24 but the tube from the filling tip up front, all the way to the rear tank can hold another 3-4 liters aint it ? 5)Talking of fuel - the AFE never goes below 10. I am sure I don't get 10 kmpl at all times considering my tank to tank readings and of course thanks to bangalore traffic. My workplace is exactly 10 kms away and it takes an hour , so easy to calculate mileage figures. However move away into the open stretches and the AFE climbs to 18-19. Drastic differences between city and highway in auto mode. 6)I would have expected the spare wheel to have the rear wheel's specs considering the rear engine placement, however it is the 135. Wonder why they did that.. 7) I still have not been able to open/close the dash glove boxes with consistent first-time-right statistics. Not really an issue but annoying nonetheless..Bah ! | ||

Topping up the tank till the neck may not be advisable. Once the auto shut off happens the pump attendants keep the nozzle in the neck and keep pumping slowly. This would be a loss for us as customers because much of the fuel will overflow back into their tank and we are paying for this too! If filling to the neck is a must then make sure the tip of the nozzle is outside where you can see the fuel flowing rather than being submerged in the foaming fuel. About your question the auto cut off happens at about 23L and till the brim at about 28L for me! This is after 'refuel' appears on the display. I am sure topping up till the neck will give the GenX a fantastic range on the highway. | ||||

| ![]() Waiting time in bangalore is now 12 weeks. Lucky if delivered in 10 weeks. I saw a new board indicating the wait time. Sales consultant in bangalore tells that it depends on the color which tata manufactures. If booking for a particular color is more then chance that it gets delivered in 10 weeks! |

| ![]() I booked a NanoGenX XTA AMT for my dad yesterday after I test drove my friend's XTA AMT. I felt its a hasslefree car and so decided to book one for my dad. We booked a Pearl White from Aadya motors, Hebbal. They said Shangrila Red has a waiting period of 10 to 14 weeks. Hoping Pearl White gets delivered on or before the promised period (8-10 weeks). |

| ![]() I booked a GenX Nano XTA Dazzle Blue colour at CONCORDE OMR today. The car is for my for my wife. Waiting time given is 8-12 weeks. Absolutely no discount given, even corporate discount for a TCS employee!! Would be happy if the car is delivered before Christmas, but the SA was non-comittal. The TD and booking experience was good, not great, yet not bad either. The SA (Mr. Vijay) was pretty knowledgable about the car and explained every thing very well. The car is very easy to drive and my wife went gung-ho over the golf cart size car. It was the first time she was ever behind the wheels of a car and she absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the car to be delivered. With Magneti Marelli setting up an additional plant for the AMT boxes in Manesar, is there a possibility that the waiting time on the Nano AMT will come down?

A word of caution to both of you, especially for "y2ksrs" based on your wife's driving experience : The Nano has a very broad 'A' pillar. Entire cars and bikes are concealed from the driver's vision because of the A pillar. After nearly 5 years of driving this car, I can confidently say that this 'A' pillar by itself is enough to make this car unsuitable for new drivers. Please make it a habit to move your body and head forwards and backwards at every Chowk / intersection and check for incoming traffic. | ||
