Tiago avg

Bought 10 days ago. I have driven around 300 km mix on AC and w/o AC by avg it's showing 18 only. Will it improve after service? Other things are going good as of now.

Wait till run-in period (2500 km) is over and for first service.
Till then drive sedately and enjoy your drive [thumbsup]

@Mukesh I paid almost 16.2k for idv of 4.71 for zero dep insurance. How did you pay only 10.8k :eek:? Possibly you have voluntary deduction? Are these nationalised cos good like RS? If yes then I would use those nationalised ones while renewing my insurance. I always believed nationalised insurance companies aren't that good during vlaims.
Hey Abhishek,
I got a good quote as I have other insurance with them.
Infact, since the car was new the IDV they provided for the first year was the actual ex-showroom value, i.e 4,89,019/- in reality it should have been 5% less. As soon as the car rolls out from the showroom.
Compulsory excess for Nil Dep says, min of 500 and maximum of 2500/-
The same is retained for the 2nd year as well.
I got an IDV for XZ as 4,12,000/- for the second year.

Abhisek, I switched from RS to National during renewal (bought from TASC). Apparently, insurance brokerage margins between Tata sales and service offices are quite different. I paid 11K for second year renewal with zero dep and IDV of 4L.
Prabhagar, i see a difference in IDV. Mine is covered for 4,12,000/- for the second year.

Thanks a lot Prabhagar that was helpful. But are these Nationalised companies like National and United India as good as RS/other private ones during claim settlement? I always doubt Govt. stuffs.
Its a myth.
The nationalised one's do not reject the claim, based on my experiences with them.
May be you might see some delay with the surveyor visit. But the claim process are time bound and smooth.
Moreover, team from Kolkata office monitor the claim process and ask for the feedback.

@AbhisekVerma The only downside of nationalized insurance firms is that most don't have cashless settlement, so you need to pay first and claim later. My friend has his Verna insured with National insurance. He found that they are quite liberal in claims and are not as snotty as pvt insurance inspectors. I am going to switch over to National insurance when my car insurance is up for renewal.

Up until now I thought Tiago used semi-synthetic engine oil but he clicked a picture of the oil can during third service and guess what, it's fully synthetic. Anyone know if Tata had recently changed the oil or have seen this from your service centers?
Also note the can reads 3.2L vs recommended 3.5L for petrol engine (4L for diesel).

Prabhagar,
I have got the engine oil changed in all the three services.
But never got a sealed can, inspite of request.
They get the oil from spares guy, who provides the oil in unbranded, unsealed can.
During second service the mechanic filled 4 litres of oil in my car.
Later on inquiring he had removed it.
But in the bill, they specify this oil name.

Got the 3 rd service done, last Saturday.

Today after 12 days of booking, they told me that the engine number and chassis number is allocated for me. Now they are saying the car will take 10 days to reach Bangalore from Gujrat plant. Don't know how true it is. Also they are saying they will invoice the car in June itself.
My question is:
Is it a good idea to invoice the car before itself it reaches Bangalore? Or Before seeing my car (pre-delivery)?
Also, I am thinking to go with insurance (Royal Sundaram to be specific). Anyone have any idea about that? I can get the insurance online, but how will they inspect the vehicle and is there any time period for that, means, after I get the insurance online how much time will take for them to inspect the vehicle?
Is the Chassis number and Vin number is same, and how to decode that?

Thanks in advance for all your guides.

Hello Guys
I had booked Tiago XZA Striker Blue on May 30th and was promised delivery by 18th June. SA told me that he will confirm exact dates soon. On same day i received call from Tata Motors asking if dealer has given me any delivery dates which I told them as 18th June. After that for one week no update from anyone. So I called dealer for any updates which he informed that striker blue colour is not available but any other colour should be available in 2/3 days.
As I wanted striker blue only I refused any other colour.
After that no updates from anyone till yesterday. Yesterday I got call from Tata Motors asking whether I got delivery of the car for which I said no. They assured me that they will call dealer and check what is the issue.
Today I called dealer and he told me that Tata Motors had called them enquiring about my car. He told me that there is shortage of stricker blue at factory.
Now I don't know whom to believe. Has anyone recently got striker blue XZA delivered ? Any idea this shortage for striker blue is due heavy demand for this colour or they dont manufacture this color much due to lack of demand ?

I feel the Blue color could be relatively a slow moving color (i.e low on demand) in comparison to the other colors and maybe because of that the color isn't manufactured in big numbers. In case you get an offer for sunburst Orange or Red color, suggest you to take a look at them too bud.

Respecting your views buddy, I would say, go for Silver or Brown color then. Silver is easy on maintenance and Brown too is easy to keep and not as common.

Dealer just informed to wait till Monday as he will give me confirmed details about the same. Will decide on this based on that.
Anyways good to see Tata Motors keeping their dealers on their toes

30 days after booking forget delivery but still no information on EDD of my Tiago XZA...pathetic from Tata Motors to say the least. Dealer don't have any information and Tata Motors CRM promises me update soon but the update never comes.
Seriuosly Thinking of canceling the booking.
