Re: After Two Years - Tata Manza Ownership Experience

Mr Sujith, Congratz on completing 2 years with your other better half. [:D].

23000 KM for 2 years is injustice to the car.

Anyways, I am going to Gujarat on 29th, so might poke you at VAPI or DAMAN while going or returning back. [clap]

Re: After Two Years - Tata Manza Ownership Experience

Done 23000 km.
Driving was very less for last 6 months.

Will be doing a long trip of 5000 to 6000 km next month.



RK, I knew that maintenance expenses will be less when opted for Manza.

Manza is very much VFM and a good performer.

Wow too good figures for maintenance, 0.44 paise/km. That is called true VFM. Hats off to Manza.

Cheers,
Anshuman

Re: After Two Years - Tata Manza Ownership Experience

Yes, autosafari, same here,especially the staying ahead in traffic.
Infact , cars with good low end torque are difficult to control in dense , stop go traffic as compared to cars with some turbo lag.
This i would disagree sir, largely its all about clutch/accelerator control - it always takes the driver to getting used to different characteristics especially if you are coming from different background, but do imagine my plight when i drive a civic, a sumo and xuv(and some other varying ones) back to back!:tongue:

Yes Manoj, it is a nice car and serving us very well.
Thats right and planning to cover places which were not included in earlier trips.
Cover places not included in previous trips ! - Do they even exist ?[shock]
Man this time we need some shots of that secretive Tata Prima data centre truck!

Re: After Two Years - Tata Manza Ownership Experience

Any chances of visiting Bangalore ?
Plan to by pass Bangalore - either NICE road or some other route.

I think he most probably travel via western coast line[:)]
Western coast line - NH66 (old NH17) is narrow and crowded. Want to avoid this route even though it is a scenic one.

Thanks dharmesh.
Another 6000 - 7000 km in two months will make it 30000 km in 27 months - slight improvement[;)]

You are welcome and please drop in if you get some time to visit Daman.

Tata Manza is truely VFM and a good one in terms of performance.

..largely its all about clutch/accelerator control - it always takes the driver to getting used to different characteristics especially if you are coming from different background, but do imagine my plight when i drive a civic, a sumo and xuv(and some other varying ones) back to back!
agree with you regarding the clutch-accelerator control.

I can imagine your issues in driving those vehicles back to back.

Cover places not included in previous trips ! - Do they even exist ?[shock]

World is too big dear Iron Rock[:)]

Invisible Tata Prima truck[roll]
A mobile data center - thats a fantastic idea.

Re: After Two Years - Tata Manza Ownership Experience

Manza is doing good and no complaints so far.

Three days ago, when I started in the morning after a gap of 18 days, it was a normal start with just a single Key turn.

Did a service check up today as a preparation for the long trip next week.

However this time we have planned a different route.

To take a turn at Harihar to reach Mysore vis Shimoga or take to Sira - Sravanabelagola route to Mysore.
