My Pleasure, GreenmachinE.

My thing on the wait part, with the GST benefits being planned to be rolled back (might go higher up as well), chase up on the dealer really hard to get the Beast home sooner. Never know when the prices might get jacked up.

If he does not have one in stock, confirm (ask him to provide some kinda proof) with him if the order has been placed. Once this is nailed and the car is on it's way, get the VIN #, once it lands get the PDI done. All along if you are getting it financed, get the loan thing sorted out.

Happy Motoring !!

Happy to join the growing tribe. I am going to book Tungsten Silver XTA (6 seater) today. Just received confirmation from the dealership that the vehicle is available in Tata Motors Plant and they are blocking it on the basis of my confirmation.

Tata Motors holds a special place in my heart (having worked there for nearly 10 years before I moved on) and hence buying a Tata Motors vehicle is an emotional moment for me.

I have been a silent reader of various posts on this forum and have spent countless hours poring over every possible detail available on the Hexa thread here. Arriving at the decision to book Hexa was a difficult one. My wife caught me reading the Hexa thread today morning (a ritual of sorts for the last couple of months) and gave me an emotional pitch. The exact words were "You did not think this much when you agreed to marry me" and this did the trick today morning.

Hoping to start my purchase decision journey thread soon.

Happy motoring.

Better get your Hexa quickly delivered & take wifey for a drive !
You did not consider the Arizona Blue color ? Hexa looks really awesome in it specially during the night.

Thanks!!

My current car (Etios Liva) is in Blue colour. All family members wanted a change in colour, and I was happy with any colour as long as it was Hexa.

I agree that the Arizona Blue looks gorgeous. But Tungsten silver it is now.

Congratulations to the new "would be" owners of Hexa.

Glad that you are joining the Hexa club.
I have Tungsten Silver XT 4x2 and have already done around 6 K KM and am totally happy with my choice.

TASS service is great, they are responsive, they listen to you moreover they try to have human to human connect. Which I could only find with my FIAT Punto.

All the best to you all and wish lot of happy miles with Hexa.

My uncle got his XTA delivered couple of days back. Earlier he had booked base XE but he was smitten by the post GST prices and the Auto box coupled with lovely interior's. It's the first TATA in family!

[tifosikrishna]

Have asked this question, asking again: is it possible to switch to 19 inch to 16 inch rims for XT models? Will it affect the safety control systems like ESP, TCS etc? Vaguely remember reading that the systems are set for 19 inch rims + tyre combo. Can some experts throw light?

If rims can be downsized, only option I can think of is selling the rim + tyres to a XM or XE customer (as there will not be any/much takers for 19 inch rims in the market) and buy a 16 inch alloy from market.

Hope I am making sense.

NB: After stalking this thread and its predecessor since time immemorial, at the verge of booking XT model. Thanks to GST price cut, rather news about roll back to pre GST level.

Hi

I am very keen to buy a Hexa AMT. Have taken three test drives and am very happy with the car.

The only issue is that every time I mention Tata Hexa, people just hear Tata and are immediately critical.

The good wife who liked the car, better than the XUV W10 Auto and the Jeep Compass, is now wavering.

Jeep Compass does not offer a diesel automatic. Also we have a SCross 1.3 and feel that both vehicles will be of same size (no significant difference)

XUV W10 Auto has very high engine noise inside the cabin. Further, every time the gear shifts, there is an odd noise. I understand this is common.

Also, the Hexa is not available in black which I find very surprising.

Look forward to views from Hexa owners to help me make a decision.

The dealer is offering me a good deal with 3000 cash discount and 20,000 equivalent of accessories. But no rebate further.

Thanks

@us.dash
There are 5000 Hexas already running on our roads, and almost everyone is happy. Having used many Tata cars till date, I firmly believe that the issues are usually magnified by critics and media. among all vehicles used till date I consider Tatas second after Toyotas for our conditions if your mind says so go ahead, and be quick before the cost goes up again.
Secondly the HEXA is a proper automatic with a modern lockable torque converter, not an AMT, or od generation free wheeling or locking only in top type converter.

Any idea about the price for the side step? My mother is almost 70 and has painful knees. I will definitely have to get the side step to make getting in and out of hexa for her.

16500. Official accessory. I think aftermarket ones are also available.

I would strongly advise you to opt for the official accessory since there was a recent case on this very thread where a Hexa owner installed aftermarket side steps and ended up with a punctured fuel tank.
