Tata Tiago Review & Pictures: Tata's Tiara

[Satyabsahoo]

Hi Guys!

I see many members raised issue of Gear knob vibration. Today I checked this with a fresh pre-delivery Tiago. Absolute no Vibration on engine start and in Neutral. I found this vibration in a TD car which was almost 12k on Odo. Sales guy told the issue has been fixed in newer cars, and honestly speaking, I found absolute no vibration on the new car I checked. Engine vibration is there on ignition but latter it settles.

Hello all,

As posted few weeks back that i am about to book a tiago ,So i did book a Tiago on 31st of October and the time mentioned was about 2 months for delivery.I have selected Tiago XT petrol Sunburst orange .

Few of my points that needs to be cleared from the owner's and Enthusiasts

1. received a call yesterday from the showroom As, its a year end i will be getting a 2016 manufactured car,if i did want a 2017 manufactured car then i have to wait until march 2017
i have decided to go for 2016 car itself. considering it affects only resale value though the registration of the car would be of 2017 Feb and i wont sell the car for not less than 8 years
Any inputs?

2.during the time of booking they quoted the insurance for 21k odd , when i asked which company?They didn't had clue which company?
They said they had tie-ups with many companies and Royal sundaram was one among them. i had a option to choose any one among them
Yesterday when i asked they said even if they have tie-ups rates differ it seems .when i said i will get it from outside they are saying we wont give the vehicle until
its insured for our dealership?
Not sure what to do ?

3.Here is a list of accessories with their Rates

Wow at this time when bookings have dropped significantly dealer is showing this attitude.
Now tell him you will get insurance on your own or else you will cancel the booking.

Ask him if he can get me a car in December itself then only you will be interested in 2016 model.

And don't settle for a 2016 model. Buy the 2017 only which will come in February.

Ask other dealers as well.

Finally!!! Got my Tiago XZ. Experienced my brand new car. Vibrations?? What is that? Engine is not silent like i10/Swift but I prefer it that way. Dealership experience was quite good except that they made a spelling mistake in uploading form 20 but they rectified it. Music System was a blessing and same for ride quality.

Drove 30kms within city on my first ride. City mode + full ac gave 12.6kmpl in city medium to light traffic. Quite satisfied. AC was sufficiently effective. Am in love with my Tia

1) Veeresh if you want to keep car for long then why waste 3-4 months of your young life when y could have enjoyed Tia? Also Tata would definitely increase price atleast once before you get your vehicle in March. Remember they increased in August and October. Also waiting would be lesser now and more during March.

2) Go for your own insurance. That will save you 3-4k atleast.

3) Don't go for Showroom accessories. Its not at all VFM. Find some popular shop and buy from their. Its always cheaper buying higher version tahn going for accessories afterwards especially from Showroom.

Best luck

The sales people said that car would arrive by december last week.But I am Bit busy to take delivery at that time There's just a single dealer in the city and surrounding 150 kms radius too they have their dealership itself in 5-6 city's. So, No luck on that. Thanks for the Reply Sir

Finally!!! Got my Tiago XZ.

Thanks for your wishes and hey no need to call Sir. If anyone deserves to be called sir here its Prabhagar..
The seat cover from Showroom looks really good and decent but its foam backing so your seat contours would be lost and fitting is loose even they would tell you. I got a very good shop here so would suggest go for Art Leather with Nylon backing, it snugs the seat tightly and seat contours are as it is. I would go for multiple accessories but not from showroom. I received mud flaps from showroom for free not sure if it was a mistake from their side. If you don't have any good accessories shop then you can take seat cover from showroom its decent but ask for discount. They gave 700rs discount but I didn't fit.

Thanks Satya. My experience with KHT is quite good. Except that they made a small error in Form 20 which they later rectified. SE was very helpful. PDI was done before envoicing. Concorde opp JPMC is nearer to my home and I went to Prerna but both said you have to request for PDI before payment something I felt was basic customer right so I didn't book there. Even prices were on higher side in Prerna not sure why. KHT is an awesome TATA Showroom and people are very helpful and knowledgeable there. Even their service center is better, I heard from Bangalore Tiago Group.

No I didn't get any deal but they put mud mud flaps thinking I paid for that. And chocolates

Every showroom clearly says no discount on car or accessories if car is Tiago. If any other car you can expect discounts. I would say Tiago is priced so well that I felt I am already getting discount. Its already quite cheaper compared to cars in its segment (Grand i10, Swift).

for that.

I second that buddy. I bought the orange stitched model from dealer and just hate them outright. Contemplating on removing the front covers as I really miss the contours in stock seats.

Hi,

Today I had horrible experience with my Tiago 2nd service.. Tiagans I need your help pls

I booked 2nd service via TMSA app at 10:30 am 12/12 at Concorde Motors, Uppal on Saturday 10/12, got confirmation and given service booking number. Bought car from Venkatarama motors, but their service center is about 35 KM far, Uppal is 15 so prefered closer one.

I explained all the complaints in App:
1. Body vibrations.
2: Reverse gear shifts hard.
3. Gear lever vibrates in neutral (not able to post video, dont know how to post)
4. Mud accumulation near fuel tank area.
5. Steering wheel slighly tilted towards left.
6; Door knob pulls out of socket.

Reached there by 10:35, went to reception, but I was told to wait for sometime as other cars already in queue, I said okay...

At 11:05, one guy came to me asking me details and what are complaints.

I said I had already explained in App, he did not bother about it and I had to again tell all complaints. He gave me new service booking number and said by 2-3 o'clock car wil be ready.

I wonder why the service app then??? when they cannot accomodate requested time slot and did not even cosider complaints through it.

Coming to service part, MY major disappointment here... they took almost 8 hours, got car at 6 pm, horrifying they did not solve few problems, even made some worse...

1. Body vibrations: Feeling more vibrations after servicing... even around 2000 rpm, I can feel little vibrations wheras car was very very smooth before
2. Revere gear: Got it rectified +++
3. Gear lever: I got answer, Sir being 3-pot engine, it is normal to behave like that (is it true???)
4. Mud accumulation: Said problem solved, but after going home I see they did not even clean mud near that area (I feel they did not touch that part)
5: Steering wheel: BIG BIG disappointment, now it is tilted towards right bit and car drags left... need to fix it ASAP.
6: Door knob: Seems fixed, have to look coming days

They cleared 2 problems and made 4 worse... I have to spend my full day there almost 9 hours and no one bothered about telling updates whether car is ready or when will be... Every time I got same answer/question "who is service advisor?" and he is not available, "let you know once he comes and update us"

Whenever he is seen, he says 1 hour, 30 min, 20 min, 15 min, etc etc but no clear picture...

finally got car at 6 pm, I was in hurry did not check for anything and while driving noticed that they even did not clean windshiled or glasses... full of marks, getting reflections from other cars... I had to pull back and clean it. One more thing noticed that car drags to left side. It was absolutely fine before, just steering tilted sligthly to left, and now it is not centered but tilted to right and car pulls left side.


Pls help me Tiagans, where to complain about this service and how to fix my problems... and suggest me what can be fixed and what cannot be (like gear lever vibration being 3-pot normal??) If it is normal, okay


Thank you

^^ That's a sad state of affair my friend, You can drop a mail to TML and their service center and all the bill details describing about the problem you are facing.

Unfortunately this is the way the personal cars are treated in service centers because of many cabs in service center.

Is anyone in this forum have booked Tiago and waiting for delivery? If yes, How long have you been waiting? Is there still demand Vs Supply problem for Tiago?

Here is my Story:

I booked a Tiago XZ Petrol Espresso Brown (W/O alloys) on 11th October in Hosur (The True Sai Works). I was told a waiting period of 45-50 days. It has been more than 60 days and I have absolutely no information about the car from both the dealership and Tata Motors. This is after reminding the dealers several times in the last 2 weeks; sending emails to Tata Motors Customer care (customercare@tatamotors.com) and unsuccessfully trying to contact the Tata Motors Territory-Sales-Manager over phone (He doesn't pick up my calls).

Now I am thinking about cancelling the booking due to the null-response from them. Everytime I contact the dealer, the response goes like "Tata Motors hasn't allotted any Tiagos to them in November", "Our MD has gone to Chennai for the same subject, by tomorrow I will give you an update", "Our manager has gone to Salem to deal with this issue, I will give an update in 2 days", "we have sent the DD for 25 Tiagos, soon Tata will ship the cars (this was 10 days ago and yet no news until today)".

Though waiting impatiently, I am not really bothered about the delay but about the false promises from the dealer and no-response from Tata Motors. If I don't receive a prompt response by this Friday, planning to cancel the booking and go with Figo Diesel.

This is unacceptable behavior of the dealer. xz and brown/orange have lesser waiting period. I got mine from KHT Bangalore in 35 days only. I suggest try other dealer too.
