Tata Aria Pleasure - Living with Pleasure.

[jeno_turbo]

The cars manufactured in india are safer as international safety standards. The structures are not that much powerful to withstand big crashes. I already mentioned in my previous posts as i need better safety to withstand minimal level crashes at least. 90% of the private vehicle owners driving their cars with in their limit. I'm not meant that thickness=safe. I'm only argue for very basic level safety for basic level accidents only. I met with around 8 accidents (Some times i drove myself, sometimes as a occupant). All of them are small accidents. No injuries. No blood. I just need to invest very little bit to recover my car to its original position. But the vehicles met accident with my vehicle faced big losses. Qualis, Tractor, Frontside left of the bus, etc.

My marina met an accident with bolero. Its not a direct frontal crash. The bolero suddenly came into the picture between a bus and my car in a hairpin bend. Bus and me cruising at the speed of 20km/hr, bolero at 50km/hr. There is no noticeable brushing in the bolero. But my right side fender is gone as crushed. I think the sheet metal absorb the force well. I'm repeating again, my car is not built for speed drivers. I need only very basic safety to protect me from basic accidents.

But now i'm expecting big level of safety as i have a lovable family. So this time i opted for a vehicle which has crash worthiness certificate. My aria also has thicker sheet metal and the same keeping good ranking for safety. Based on the general logic about sheet metal as mentioned by you, if my car has thinner sheet metal, then it can achieve more better rank than now, right?

I'm trying to share something based on my knowledge based on my personal experiences. This may not as perfect as automobile science logic.

I'm not aimed to hurt any ones feeling. But i hope i can learn and sharp my knowledge towards safety and it can help me to acquire my future vehicles with better safety kits. I think my aim has some logic.

Well, the argument is not whether your car is safe or not. Simply my answer is yes, your car is Safe. But saying "Tata cars are built stronger and hence safer" is a wrong statement. And you mentioned that, it was one the main reasons to buy a TATA. This should not mislead anyone. That is was Superbad is trying to say. And i guess most of them would agree. And IMHO European cars are reasonably safe(FIAT/VW/AUDI....).

Jeno.

"Tata cars are built stronger and hence safer". Yes for atleast some basic level in reasonable speed. Indica/Indigo is not competing with European cars. But it is competing with lot of maruti vehicle range. Vista and manza are safer as European cars.

Tata cars has side impact bars to give confident at least, in all range of vehicles. My indica/Indigo is safer than the competition. My aria also safer than the competition.

My statements are not formulas for all type of cars. I'm only talking about the competition level with the account of general accidents. I dont want to argue what the vehicle engineering specialist written in their books on high level crash safety.

I'll try to get it tomorrow man. I think this is the one they shown to me.

This should look neat and match with the chrome aria has on side and front

Guys lets end this safety discussion for elsewhere.

Justin these are the same alloys that are used in Safari VX I think.Really they have improved the look of your crossover.

More than "Pleasure" I think it is getting in to "Pain" now.

I wish let us only stick to the TATA Aria and its content here which makes more sense and expect to learn all the specialties of it from Justin with day by day usage !!

i had mentioned it before.

i understand he likes the aria and was satisfied with the build quality of tata aria. no two ways about it.i do not question his belief.

from what ever i read on the internet nowhere have i seen anybody questions its build quality. all i read it was the best built TATA till then.

resting the topic on safety

the alloys does give your aria a more upmarket feel than before and they do look much pleasing to the eye now.

what else mods have you planned with regards to ICE? seat covers?

Yes. I hope the same now. I'll install it tomorrow and post photos.

Everybody can complain about ASS of tata and its simple look. But its worthy in all other matters as safety, comfort, maintenance, VFM, Mileage, etc.

Ok. Lets stop the safety discussion here. Owners only can feel, understand and experience on some matters. Atleast they must have a courage to accept some matters. Lot of them simply do hatting some brand for no reasons.

Aria has its own reason for low sales. XUV has its own reason for good sales. Very few aria has issues. Most of them by bad service peoples. But all XUV has issues as electronic gadget failure (all can be fixed, but its repeating), brake issues (not resolved it in all vehicles sold till now).

Ok. lets leave it.

The alloys are safari OEM. I just opt it to avoid warranty issues. But after install, i'm loving it most than neo alloys installed in other aria.

I dont want to place anything over the dash. But i'm going to place 3.5 inch reverse camera display very close to instrument cluster. I'm searching for a better place to keep the tissue box.

Aria has a lock to protect the fifth tyre from theft, placed close to utility box. I'm not sure its unique in aria or not. But its nice. I'll post photo next time when i post interior shots.

Sorry

My wife love to order Aria alloys. but that's 17" against my aria's 16". After install the alloys i and my wife loving it a lot than original OEM aria alloys.

ICE is doing very nice. It has very nice bass. And i dont want to disturb anything for now. But i'll order OEM JBL kit after launch the AT aria. I'll change the seat cover later after some months of usage. But i fix the bug in the current seat cover hand rest for now.

OEM side foot steps are costlier option now. They are asking 19K. IM not sure its OEM or not. They are calling my seat covers are OEM.

I'll do it in the future. So i can connect the reverse camera here and leave the dash top free. But i want to finish few free services and settle down well with my car first.

But the current dash has lot of buttons. So it giving me very rich look, than the link shown. But i'm looking to replace the current center display with some interesting, touch screen with DVD player + GPS combo.

I had 1 suggestion to give you .
Is there any 3m center were you live .becuase I would suggest you to a paint sealant treatment for your aria . The paint quality is excellent in aria with paint sealant treatment you can restore the shine and over all paint of your car .and do buy some micro fiver cloths and use only them to clean the car twice a week or once and everyday use the jospua duster it's quite effective in cleaning the dust and takes just 5 min.

There is no 3M authorized center in my place. But there are some car jewel shops has 3M materials to sell. My dealership applied a wurth teflon coating now. But its not look good in my view. My dealership telling that the "wurth has polimer coating, but its also tuflon, but with 3 years contract. Thats it" This kind of knowledge only they have. They telling that, Even after applied teflon coating, "i can cancel the bill and give new bill as polimer coating applied, Billing amount only the difference." So i dont want to go with dealership as they dont know what is the worth of the products which they are selling.

I have 4 micro fiber cloth to clean. and i have 2 rubber like cloth to wipe the water after wash. But i dont have duster now. I'll search for better one.

I'm planning buy a vacuum cleaner with car washer tools and wet cleaning facility. I hope i can get one today from eureka forbes.

Kindly tell me the product name of the 3M coating and its best price.

I got 3M coating done on my XETA in the TATA workshop itself.So contact your service station,they may well have this facility.

I'm not interested to do it in dealership. The accessories manager dont know anything about the products. He treating all coatings are same.

I faced few issues. Its purely by technicians.

1. My car had some rattling noise after fix the alloys. I think the 5th tire is not fitter properly underbody. The test driver told me that, he heard the sound before deliver my vehicle. But he is silent on why they not fixed on that day itself.

2. There is a place to keep the levers very close to jack. But they dont know where to place it. They inserted hard into the jack box. It damaged a plastic cover placed between 3rd row left seat and its safety belt. Now the levers are not coming out.

3. Bonnet cover not closed 100%. I noticed some rattling sound from front while i drive my car today. Then i push further to lock perfect.

I fired them hard and warn them for consequences. I asked them to finish all before 2PM today and send my car back to my house.

I dont have time to install corner protector today due to my business timings.
