Pawan, What RPM does manual suggest during run-in period and for how many KMs?
Click to expand...
Manuals do suggest gear-kph thing for running in, something like:
1st gear: 20 kph
2nd gear: 30 kph
3rd gear: 40 kph
4th gear: 50 kph
5th gear: 60 kph

In my opinion, marking a rev limit for oneself(3500 for N/A and 3000 for turbo petrol for example) saves one from going over rev in any gear . The rule written in the manuals does fail on hilly drives(loaded car) as well as steep inclines. But this rev limit, keeps holding itself in most of the cases.

BTW, those HVAC(Air Conditioning Control) knobs are looking like they are picked up straight from Indica V2, the only thing looking out of place in such a wonderful car.

Not really. Vipul is right.

Vista Refresh LX/VX/ZX and Manza got following HVAC Controls

Vista D90 and Manza Club Class got following HVAC Controls

Now TATA is back to Pre facelift/refresh Vista days circa 2008. Unpardonable, regressive step. Zest and Bolt deserved Vista Refresh HVAC Controls if not the D90 ones.

Re: Tata Zest XM (Revotron) Ownership Review

Congrats [clap]. It looks premium in white.

Its painfull to see the condition of Tata ASC support even after this important launch[frustration]. Hope it could get better.

Re: Tata Zest XM (Revotron) Ownership Review

Hey Pawan,

Congratulations a ton !!!!
Really happy to read the first thread of ownership on Zest in the whole world of internet probably[;)]

Now I have few questions, please respond whenever you are free :

1) I had been to the TATA plant and took a test drive. Officials over there said they have locked the highest speed as 160kph. That much may not be required though. I tested it till 140 and it was stable.
Did you feel the stability decreased a@150kph in compare the stability when you were at 100kph???

2) Do you feel uncomfortable in keeping your left foot when you don't use the clutch. This is because there is no side space besides the clutch.

3) If you are forced to point out the negatives of the car, what would be those (apart from what you have already posted first)


Awaiting for your response.[:)]
And once again congrats.
Enjoy the DRIVE !!!!

Re: Tata Zest XM (Revotron) Ownership Review

HVAC controls in Zest's top model are matching with Vista D90 Quadrajet. So I dont think its a regressive step in fact its a smart step. Tata had to justify the the cost of top end model with some extra goodies over the lower models.
