Tata Tiago: First Month Ownership Micro-Review

[satyaeet]

Congrats buddy on the new Red beauty, it looks really sporty. Wish you many happy miles ahead

Please keep on updating the ownership thread as this helps our TAI members a lot. Also if possible share your contact to the fellow TAI'ers and get yourself added in Tiago's WhatsApp group as well.

Hope this time TATA has changed the attitude for after sales service.

Thanks,
Satyajeet

Nope, the real time FE becomes fuel level indicator in all variants sans XZ. Also XT doesn't have a temperature gauge as shown in reference picture below:

Thanks Prabhagar. This is not mentioned in XZ vs XT difference anywhere. I was also checking XT(O) model.

What do you think is XZ(w/o alloy) model only for added looks or is worth spending around 33K more compared to XT(O).

Main features we get more in XZ (vs XTO) comparatively are:
- ABS with EBD and CSC - will it be useful if my Highway rides are occasional?
- Boot Lamp - useful at night according to me
- Fog Lamp - useful for night driving I guess in seeing the near roads I guess. Need your inputs? as hardly any fog in Bangalore.
- Real Time FE - Personally I really like this feature as it motivates to drive more efficiently
Rear Defogger - Useful
Real wash and wiper - not so useful I think and very rarely used.
4 tweeters - useful till mid volumes but I think due to this some ghar-ghar noise comes at high volumes.
Glove Box - not so useful I feel.
One touch down - not a big feature
chrome on ac vents - very thin chrome. not much difference
Steering mounted controls - mainly used for volume control. Or is there any which you use often?
Knitted Roof - Makes the roof really look premium but is it worth spending 34k?
colored interior/piano black - not exactly a feature and depends on personal taste
parcel tray string - I think its not there in xt(o) but hey it might be only 200 bucks.
analog heat indicator - not useful.
Any thing missed?

XZ without alloys is better option.
If you have budget for XZ go with it, ABS is really helpful under hardbrakings.

Some good news for you, All OPTIONAL VARIANTS get same speedometer as XZ variant. So you will get instaneous FE and temperature gauge.

You will be happy to hear this, Option packs get the instrument cluster of XZ (atleast according to one of our owners who has XE-O).

Other than that, I agree with most of your points. My 2 cents below:
- ABS, EBD, CSC: Being safety features, I would always prefer these.
- 4 Tweeters: I have listened to XT audio and felt it was sufficient even without tweeters.
- Steering Mounted Controls: Almost all functions can be done with these buttons and it was one of the primary reasons (besides safety) of my choice of XZ

To get a glimpse of what you get with "O" pack, I would suggest checking out this owner's video:
