It is too early to give my opinion on the vehicle. Not even driven 100 KMs. But so far, I loved the interior, drivability (very different from hatch back...of course), looks and more importantly the head turns I get on road . Looking forward for the long long drives over the time.

Absolutely I agree. I have just driven over 200kms and the attention this car gets on road is simply mind boggling, be it admiration, respect or scare, you are guaranteed a second stare.

So true, initially even I was surprised to see a luke warm response to such a capable car with spot on pricing. I guess slowly our TBHP members are warming up to this car and I won't be surprised if this thread gets flooded with TUVs.

I know its very early to ask but curious to know if anyone has done long highway trips in the vehicle. Please share your experiences.
Happy Diwali & wish you all a very pleasant experience with the Tank.

Wish you too Arindam and other forum members alike a very Happy Diwali. Though my daily office commute involves part of NH4 and NH8, it is too early to do a long highway trip. Moreover I have not yet received the registration number, hence not venturing on long drives. Also the office work is going to keep me busy till Dec end. Once I hit the Christmas holidays, I am sure I am going to live on road.

procrj, if you have liked the car and if it meets most of your requirements, don't wait any further and "bite the bullet"
before it becomes too hot. Once TUVs start swarming the roads, you may have to wait for a longer duration to get yours.

No doubt about that. Tushar's review was out only after I had taken 3 test drives and already booked the car. However after going through the review, it was like a
"TBHP Certification" on my decision. He was spot on with all his observations.
Today morning I thought of checking the tyre pressure. Each tyre had 32psi against the specified pressure of 35psi. Guess due to the winter chill setting in the tyre pressure might have got reduced. Immediately took out my Accurate pressure gauge and
"antique" foot pump (antique, because it is 20+ years old, Dad used to pump air in his Bajaj M-80 with this pump) and pumped in air to have 35psi pressure in each of the tyres (barring spare one). Some pictures below of the pressure gauge and pump.
What did I learn @ my TUV today #3: 10-Nov-2015
Yesterday while returning from office I could hear a very mild rattle from the driver side door. I initially thought that I might not have closed it properly. Hence opened and slammed it three times, however the rattle won't go. I then checked the seat belt if it was banging against the door, but even that was not the case. I then pulled the window glass a bit down and voila, the rattle vanished (even on very bad roads). So it seems when the window glass is fully rolled up it might be touching some metal surface and bads roads accentuate the rattle. I pulled the glass 1-2 mm down and the noise vanished. I can live with this till I get a solution to it during first service.
I had attached the nice
"Ganesh" key chain to my car key given by the dealer. However being metallic and a bit long it used to bang against the dash when the car went over every bump or pot hole. Immediately after reaching home I got rid of the key chain and there is only a steel ring attached to the key.
