Hey Everyone @ TAI! It feels great to be here.
The Lady in Red:
A requirement for my Wife came up for a compact automatic. The usual was considered: budget, looks, features, build quality, safety, VFM. The budget was set at 6 lakhs. The cars in contention were Kwid, Celerio, Grand i10, Swift (though neither swift nor Grand i10 fit the bill) and the Tiago! The Tiago was the unanimous choice since it meets all the criterion listed above! And may I say this is the 5th Tata car in my family, after the Sierra, Indica, Indigo and Indigo CS. Honestly wanted to say Tata to Tata but this was completely refreshing, the interior fit and finish, the premiumness it brought in, the way the AMT drove.
The AMT is sourced from Magneti Marelli and I shall share my thoughts on it in a few days time.
Booked it on 15th June and got the Delivery on the 30th of June. Got a fair deal from Concorde Hyderabad. The XZA costed me 6,36,800 which included Nil Dip Insurance, the usual Mud flaps n Mats, and the Side Rub Rails were then negotiated as a freebie, they also gave me 10Lts of Petrol. The Delivery experience was sweet and I mean literally. The car was covered in Red Satin Cloth, the ribbon was cut, bouquet of roses for the Mrs and a cake! All the employees gathered around and clapped as we drove off! Niceee :)
