Re: Tata Aria Pride Ownership Review – TAI’s First!

@ Jayadev I knew you would be the first one to reply.[:)] Yeah i think most of the car owners in TAI are having a good time with their cars!


@ Ilango Exactly , don't know how long it is going to last though.


@ Mastersquall You can say that! Still people look at Aria like they are looking at some alien car , i like my car to be unique! This is the reason i turned down the offer for a new Swift from my dad and went with used Verna.


And also nowadays starting seeing a little more of Aria's on road , don't think its the 4X2 effect as it was just recently launched.

Off topic but felt relevant for the thread - I just saw the new Aria add on TV. Have to admit its super and one of the best add by Tata so far. It showcases Aria's prowess beautifully.

@ carfreak and Traveller Even i too liked the Aria's ad , clearly highlights the key features which Innova doesn't have.


@ The Xover Thanks buddy. I don't know if its fast but its definitely quicker than the Safari 3.0L DICOR which we had before.

MAN you are spoiled by your VERNA VGT[:)].But I have few queries about ARIA on which I would love to know your views.
1] Have you faced any problem so far in your aria ownership?
2] If you have to name few upgrades in current aria what would be your recommendation to tata motors?
3] are you fully satisfied with engine/gearbox,ride/handling of your aria?
4] and finally will you recommend TATA ARIA to those who are looking to buy one? REGARDS

Re: Tata Aria Pride Ownership Review – TAI’s First!

Sure buddy , my views below.


1. Nope none till now. The only trouble i faced was the chrome bits on the doors started to crack and broke. Car has clocked more than 16k KMS now and running good.

2. Well i have quite a few suggestions to them. First of all , they should have the placed the steering controls somewhere better. With the current position while turning we accidentally press the controls which is very annoying. Absence of dead pedal is hurting me very badly , atleast they should have left some space near the clutch pedal. With the current spacing and arrangement , driving in bumper to bumper traffic creates some pain to the legs. Next , the AC vents could have been positioned a little bit better , in this position they either blow cold air to the knees or the hand. The steering mounted controls should definitely have been illuminated , now during night i have to search for the buttons! Coming to feature wise suggestions , instead of so many storage bins they could have given a sun-roof which would have added some character to the car. Electrically adjustable driver seat could have been provided. And finally instead of reverse camera , good parking sensors would have been better.


3. Extremely satisfied with the engine regarding performance and NVH levels. TATA geraboxes have always been a bit hard and rugged , so no complaints. Ride and handling also i find it to be good , as good as some of the SUV'S priced above Aria.


4. Well , depending on the requirement of the buyer. If one wants a feature laden car for a cheaper price then Aria it is , even when compared to the likes of Fortuner , Captiva and Endeavour. If reliability and comfort is what one seeks then Innova makes a little better sense , too early to comment on the reliability of Aria but definitely Toyota is going to be much reliable than TATA.

@cooldhaya
Accept my belated congrates. This is car which makes TATA feel proud. I saw a review of 4x2 on wheelocity (ZEE tv) today. The reviewer was also of the same view that steering control should be placed better way. She (Kanika Sood) appreciated the ride quality and engine performance of this Big car. By the way if you have this car , you need not worry about space and road conditions while going for a long trip. I think this car has also got benefited from the takeover of RangeRover.

Re: Tata Aria Pride Ownership Review – TAI’s First!

@ Ashikawa Thanks buddy , but sadly this car has failed to take off still. But i don't bother as long as my car is unique on the streets![evil] BTW you can find the negatives which i have mentioned above in almost all the reviews , Aria lacks the ergonomics.

Now this gives me an idea , going to set it around 100kmph and going to test the FE then![evil] If it can give 16.5kmpl with variable speeds , i think it can give even more with cruise control!

@ cooldhaya, have you checked the FE with cruise control on?

@ Ilango Fuel filter for my Verna costs around Rs.1200 i am happy to pay Rs.1500 for Aria! Yes Gear oil was changed only in the differentials.


@ Mukesh I would not call 14k a rip-off buddy. Silencer cleaning , wheel balancing ,rotation and alignment are rip-offs! I don't know why synthetic oils are costly , next oil change is same like your's after 15k KMS. And about the summer wash cleaning , they have filled some soapy fluid in the windscreen washer , must say its pretty good!

The windscreen washer liquid (Soap added to the washer tank) hardly comes for Rs 5-10 a sachet, there are many local manufacturers. These grease monkeys try to make money on these things!
