Tata Tiago Review & Pictures: Tata's Tiara

Tried to compare Gold AMC vs P2P and found 4 overlaps between the two. Besides being cheaper, P2P covers as far as 4 years / 60K km vs AMC capped at 2 years / 30K km.

It is not mentioned anywhere in the leaflets or email so I assume its open to all. Also, the cost appears to be same for both Petrol & Diesel cars. To me, P2P looks to be more VFM at 5400 INR vs Gold AMC for which I shelled out 9000 INR. [frustration]

that's the exact thing i was thinking about. this is similar to gold amc but at half the price. you should write to tata about this experience. you never know , they might return the difference.

Thanks vikyjoshi:)

I had sent an email to Prerana Motors(all branches) saying "I am looking for Tiago and I need the car asap with either of the color (Blue/Red/Orange). Immediately they called me and informed that they have a Blue and White XZ petrol in stock, might be there was no booking due to year end and people would prefer to buy in Jan 2017. And this is a Nov 2016 manufactured car received at the yard on 28th November, 2016.

I went in the evening to the showroom with my parents, took a TD and booked on the spot and blocked the blue color. I am going to do PDI tomorrow and hoping to return with positive results.

Most probably all customers are willing to buy in 2017, so you have got it very early.

Thanks for the suggestion bro. I will give it a shot and update here.

It's the sweet time spot of the year to skip waiting periods if we don't care about resale values. [glasses]

For Diesel cost is 5,500 INR for 4 years/60,000 km.
But think of diesel owners who have gone ahead and purchased Gold AMC worth 15.5k approx INR.
Have contacted the Service Manager (don't know what we call them exactly, sorry) He promised me that he will let me know all the details of it.

Guys, did the PDI today and found everything to be in place. One thing I was not happy was the foot well was dirty with too much muck when it has come from the yard. The car was run 33km and the tyres were shod with GoodYear assurance with the manufacturing number as 3716(Sept 1st week, 2016). Also was happy to observe that the gear lever vibration has been completely sorted out. I have informed them to keep it spick and span during delivery.

Now time to wait for the D-day.

Gold AMC covers much more than p2p according to the Service Manager.
He also told that owners who have bought AMC CANNOT avail p2p as their system won't accept it.
So it's exclusive for those who haven't got AMC.

The Vehicle arrived at the dealer's yard on 23rd Dec, Friday.
Did a quick PDI on 24th Dec, Saturday after having to convince the Delivery In Charge and after waiting for an hour. The dealership people were adamant to get the payment done before any inspection. But i insisted to have a quick inspection before any payment and managed to succeed.

Things noticed:
Month of Manufacture is December

6 KMs in the Odometer

My Tiago has come with Bridgestone B250 tyres

Noticed this anomaly in the front Left Bumper corner; it didn't seem like a scratch, probably some coating material; might not have been cleaned properly

And this was in the Driver side door, the square shaped seal/ dampener was not put in place peoperly

Interiors were looking ok except it was covered with little dust; checked the music system and it was working fine. Tested the electrical mirror adjustment and that was ok too.
Quickly glanced the engine bay but couldn't start the engine - permission denied.
Though i could only do a quick PDI, i felt satisfied and made the down payment today.

Other Things:
Since the dealer had made the order for Tiago XZ sans Alloys at the time of booking, i had ordered the alloy wheel in picture below in a local shop for Rs.21,900 (Brand - Neo Wheels - Model Illusion MBM). Before placing the order, checked and confirmed the same with dealer last week. To my surprise, alloys were factory fitted in the car; The sales person insisted me to cancel the outside booking but i stood firm with my decision and they gave up finally.

Taken the insurance from dealer for Rs. 17,758 (Nil depreciation from National Insurance); They quoted 22300 initially and i wasn't ready to buy it from them nor they were . After a lengthy discussion, 17,758 was the closest offer they could make against the quote i received from Royal Sundaram for Rs. 16834. Finally i gave in and accepted the offer.
Opted for Extended Warranty (Rs.6400) and Promise to Protect (4 Years 45000 KMs for 4399). Sales manager had no clue about the P2P; Thanks to Prabhagar, i enquired about this new plan to the Service Manager and opted-in.
Accessories: bought seat covers and car cover for Rs.9000. Sales person has agreed to provide Mud Flap, Floor Mats and Car Perfume (all worth Rs.2000) free od charge.
Also planning to take Underbody coating, Sun Film and Teflon coating for Rs.5500 (yes, discounted price).
Requested the dealer to complete the registration and other formalities ASAP (i don't mind registering the car at the last week of the year); hoping to take delivery of the car on Wednesday, 28th December.
Spending 4 hours at the showroom today, i could steike casual conversation with the dealership employees. Asked them the reason for delivery delay (74 days as of today since booking on 11th Oct, against the promised delivery of 50 days); apparently the truth is that the Owner had recently done his showroom registration again by adding his mother as co-owner / partner (couldn't understand why though). Tata Motors couldn't complete the billing as they had to wait for the new TIN to get updated in the records and database. Ultimately the problem was at the dealer's end.

I will post the cost breakup and the full buying experience post delivery.

I think p2p is gold amc without the silver amc. P2p doesn't cover the maintenance charges.
So actually they have given customers 3 things.
1. Silver amc
2. Silver plus gold amc
3. Gold AMC without silver amc.(p2p)
