Tata Zest Test Drive and Review

[Sudarmani]

Hi Sudarmani,
Cons for Grey:
What i read over net is Dark colours are more prone to accidents from surveys due to obvious visibility reasons!! I find this is only concern.
Let me know if you got any other.

I too feel worried about road safety for such dark colors but its only when you keep your car parked at night with no lights on, which i feel is very rare. Usually, when we park our cars, inside city we have street lights and in highways, we park near some restaurants
I will browse more about this and anything important will surely share with you.

Thanks for sharing the details!!
This forum is really getting interesting for me and hope everyone with one stop info!!

Please share me the auspicious days info,hope should help me and others too planning now.. it will help me too as mine will be ready for registration from Oct 14th as i am done with procedures for Car lease but confused with auspicious day sentiments as our families normally bother about it..i got a very long date from them so want some dates nearby to convince them ;)

I think for this worst case some reflector stickers should help us, yes others owning black colour car can really say its that trouble.

AFAIK, 16th October is auspicious day due to "Guru Pushyamrit Yog. For me every day and any time is auspicious for Good work (Shubh Karya).

Please share me the auspicious days info,

Each and everyday is auspicious if you believe in god and are positive about life. On a lighter note, people wait for auspicious dates for marriages and still divorce happens.

like auspecious day and time even the vehicle check (such as PDI) and all other delivery routines are very important, so do not urge the dealer to deliver earlier, so delivery day go early and have things done on time to take delivery in your favourite time / date

great snaps and the color in the first photo is nothing but sky grey..
Frankly, if you look closer, the color is not way closer to grey.
I feel its a mix of green and peacock color..

As of now, Oct 30 seems to an auspicious day, which I hate to wait that long.
When checked over the internet, 16/17 are said to be good date but I am checking with couple of people and will sure let you know the dates.
Stickers are good option and I will do that for sure..

A generic info, read an article today on ET on the color choices among Indians.
One in every two cars sold in india is painted white - The Economic Times

Dear 350Z, whatsup with the official road test which you mentioned few days back? Have you started it? When should we expect a thread of the same?

The copper color in that image is awesome, Tata should have launched these more appealing colors such as Matt Grey, Copper and golden color which is shown in 2nd and 3rd images of below link

If I am not wrong those are the Beige colour with some saturation added by the mobile phone cameras.

It was a fun weekend driving the Zest. One thing is for sure, prospective owners better get used to the crazy amount of attention this car receives (atleast initially as long as it's a not-so-common sight) whether in motion or at halt. Our comprehensive review will be up in sometime.

Drive Safe,

OMG, this looks cool in matt gray. Hope TML launches this colour. Is this a display model ?

Same color showcased at the Auto Expo. The pic given was taken from TMETC, UK where the media had a tour on the R&D centre at Warwick.

@Zest wallahs here, What's the cost of gold AMC and Ex.Warranty ? Gold AMC is given at 8k IIRC. What about Ex.Warranty. For helping a twitter friend.

@Atindra Those are the same Sky Grey and Dune Beige with effects

Even extended warranty is around INR 8200 i guess.

Great !!! Looking forward to read the comprehensive Review.

I agree with your observation about crazy attention towards Zest because when I took TD, I had seen three people asking about it and one Gentleman near Railway crossing had a chance to chat with SA who was giving me TD and later he in fact visited the Show room for the details which he was asking on road.

So guys what's your take on it. Gold AMC is sure shot value for money. What about the Ex.Warranty ? For just 1 yr/25000 kms more 8k acceptable ?
