My Manza is here...finally..

Ketan_R15 · 14th November 2009, 11:36

Congratulations Vijoy for the Manza! It's a wonderful car. Hope you enjoy thousands of happy miles with the new car. One of my close friends is considering Manza very strongly. Will go and check the car out soon. Congrats once again!

pranava999 · 14th November 2009, 11:56

Congrats. We eagerly await detailed pics of the interiors and the exterior. Don't forget to key your initial views and thoughts on driving the Manza.

Also to mention first Manza on TeamBhp.

rite2shree · 14th November 2009, 15:18

Congratulations

. So you are the 'crowned one'. I had booked a Satin gold Manza, and you get the color. May be, I might end up with RED

. Photos please.

Congratulations man....ride the beast safely....eagerly wating for my black beauty ....
Which r d freebies did u get from the dealer? let us kno so that we can also ask for the same n if lucky might get one...caz my dealer said nothing on offer for MANZA as of now

Congrats on being the first. Looking forward to details of your experience with the car, this is a potential game-changer from Tata. Let's see if they have the bite to put fear in the multi-nationals.

Dippy · 14th November 2009, 17:41

Congratulations on your Manza. Tata has taken a big leap forward with this car. The space inside and the features you get on the Manza makes it total VFM . The back seat is nothing short of paradise for the chauffeur driven. I'm looking forward to more updates from your end as you put on the kms.

Drive safe.

Neil.Bhujbal · 14th November 2009, 17:47

Congrats Vjo3.

FERRO · 14th November 2009, 18:21

//M · 14th November 2009, 19:09

Congrats Vjoy. The Manza is one nice choice. Do post the snaps and review.
Congrats again on your new ride

Ride safe!

adits · 14th November 2009, 22:01

Congrats Vijoy

Drive Safe and enjoy your drive

vjoy3 · 14th November 2009, 22:47

Sorry folks could not update sooner. Before I could finish uploading few snaps soon after Puja, had to go out of town. Back after 12 hrs in bus journey. Attached are are few snaps.
Am still learning driving and hence may not have more technical details of my own to share. Please do ask specific questions and will try to answer.

BTW, temperature display works properly. One thing which could have been better was the door unlocking automatically either once engine is switched off or a button on the driver's side door to do the same.

While awaiting for updates on my booking, got connected to few senior people in Tata - Atul Renavikar(GM @ Tata Motors), Sanjay Mishra(Regional Manager South ) & others and mailed them of my concerns.
While checking my mails now, realised that Atul actually replied and has included few folks into the mail thread to look into my concern. Am impressed - Way to go Tata.

Freebies I had negotiated - mud flaps, foot mats, teflon coating(sales rep. had earlier promised coupons valid for 1 month, but in last minute said boss is out of office & she will courier me the same) and linea body cover which besides being short in height as expected is also short in length due to different body shape & hence have to tie using a rope - any recommendation on what cover may fit well?. Cover becomes essential since car is park outside the house on road(owner has assured its safe and everyone parks their cars the same way.

@IUNKWN & other Hyderabadies

- Would recommend Autofin anytime. Already had my apprehensions about Concorde & Mallik based on the way their sales rep. talked on phone/in person, especially concorde after my first hand experience (shared in few threads earlier). Autofin secunderabad/Bowenpally are better. Also got to see a review from our own Zappo written 1-2 yrs back that Autofin is good. Secunderabad showroom is small (and due to it being away from main road behind Paradise?) has lesser number of visitors and this may also be the reason you get better attention. For the whole day I was there, both the sales rep and her manager Srinivas were with me most of the time trying to explain things / getting me feel comfortable during the wait. Also the workshop is clean and well managed despite very few technical guys.
