Hi All, Creating this new thread of Tata Tigor XZ variant Ownership review, details will be provided as and when updates and observations comes up during the ownership.
Presently I have NANO CX 2012 model, clocked 65000. NANO is a good car and never gave any trouble in last six years. I have driven Nano from Visakhapatnam to Mumbai and back, other destinations ware Puri, Bhubneshwar, Raipur, Araku, Guntur, Vijaywada, Hyderabad, Palasa, Srikakulam, so overall it has served its purpose without any fuss or breakdown.
The search for replacement of Nano began in Feb 2017 when this GST bill was about to pass which speculated that the price might go up or come down. Looking at the positive side of the price coming down![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
, I checked out Ertiga, Breeza, Baleno, Aspire. Price somewhere was a big issue in deciding the car.
My requirement was simple, it should be road worthy as I prefer travelling to long distances by road only. So this is how it all started, I was desperately looking for an upgrade, there were quite a few in that segment like Aspire Dzire, Baleno. I do a lot of road trips, i.e. second home. So after a lot of test drive and various ownership reviews on net and TAI, I checked out TATA Tigor seriously, after a lot of dilemma decided to make Tigor our next family member. I am a petrol head and love driving petrol car only period, so no point looking for Diesel.
My daily run is 32 Kms plus few extra kms during weekends and using diesel car for the same does not make any sense. The features in Tigor at such price was one more deciding factor.
Come July when I went for my NANO servicing, a blue color beautiful Sedan was displayed in service center. I checked it looked around and it got my attention. It was Tigor, After going through a lot of reading on internet and finding the facts, discussion with wife we zeroed on making this car as our new family member.
So one 08 Sep , booked my Tigor by paying 10000 INR and to my surprise the dealer said the delivery can be done the following week. excitement was at its high and on 9th I was able to visit the stockyard for PDI. One look at the Espresso brown and I knew it was going to be my new family member.
On road price as per dealer is 713031 INR, I got 60000 INR for NANO in exchange and was able to successfully negotiate 5 K from the insurance, 2000 as corporate discount, also negotiated for seat cover and dealer agreed for a discount of 50 % bringing down the price to 3500 INR. so On road it is going to cost me 643031 INR. Mr Prabhakar from Siva Shankar Motors Visakahapatnam also promised few additional goodies like mud flaps, extra pair of Mats and perfume for the car, Also they are giving an offer of 1 Gm gold coin or cash discount which gave me another 3 K minus from the total amount.
Now the wait begun for 21 Sep when the car will be delivered.
After one day of Ownership.
1) Smooth delivery process.
2) The sound of engine when it was started by me is mesmerizing.
3) already completed 101 Kms.
4) Showing 10.2 KMPL, hope this changes soon.
5) Tank filled till brim with 35.2 Liter of petrol.
6) Found a bit lag in power in ECO mode.
7)Don't now but it seems I am feeling little pain in my right arm, while driving, so had to switch to left arm diving.
8) Steering is light and very responsive.
9) Reverse parking with sensors seemed to be a challenge, hope I will be used to in few days.
10) Second gear with 2000 RPM cleanly shows loss in power.
11) Following the gear shifting as it indicates in MID.
12) ORVM having amazing view, top notch. IRVM at night is a blessing.
13) A real head turner.
14) Height adjustment of the seat is good.
15) Felt 5 gears not adequate for this car, felt the lack of 6th gear on highway.
16) A sure shot head turner, I thoroughly enjoyed the way people looked at my car.
Few Pictures from the delivery ceremony.
