ToyCar -- Tiago XZA [done 6800 KMs]
I purchased it in April-2017 in Delhi.
Picked it over many others due to fantastic VFM features. It is loaded to max in its price bracket.
After Sales Service is still not upto my liking. I have experienced pretty good times with Maruti, Hyundai, Toyota and Honda. This is first buy from Tata stable in my home.
Car as a product is good and feels sturdy. Since it's a pretty heavy car, FE is not going to make you smile quite often. Acceleration and top-speeds are good. Driving behaviour is good, and grips the road beautifully during soft corners. Brake bite is as expected. ABS kicks in at precise time. Steering input is not meant for a hot-blooded or heavy footed enthusiast, but for a sane enthusiast. It darts the car in expected direction.
XZA tackles all inclines in hills easily. Wherever a normal car can go, it can follow. No drama at all.
CITY driving mode is good for people who are not in a hurry and have patience while gaining momentum.
SPORTS mode is for, well, people in a hurry.
MANUAL mode is for usual manual driving pleasure.
Headlight beams are enough for driving in cities. For highways, these are adequate for me. but other users might have a different opinion. I might replace them with Philips Xtreme Vision Plus soon. Osram night Breakers are good for low beams. PXVs are good for high-beams. Low-beam on PXVs is like OEM bulbs only.
Fog lights are useless. Pathetic 19w bulbs only. Disappointed.
Car is performing without much fuss. 3rd service is due.
I have already taken Extended Warranty for additional 2 years. I have also purchased some Gold Plan (or some other name) cover to take care of consumables etc. till 2 years from date of registration.
Regarding its performance on open stretches:
Touched 140kmph with AC in Sports mode. No drama. Easily attainable.
Reached 150kmph with AC in manual mode in 4th gear. Easy job.
Switched off AC for a good 155-160kmph (on speedo) in 4th gear in manual mode.
I think that's max for this tiny 3-pot car.
I'm impressed!
As an information:
2nd/3rd in AUTO CITY upshifts between 2000-5000 RPMs depending on throttle input [max cut-off]
3rd in AUTO SPORTS upshifts at 5500 RPM [max cut-off]
2nd in MANUAL upshifts automatically at 6000RPM [Needle turns red for a moment]
3rd in MANUAL upshifts automatically at 6000RPM [Needle turns red for a moment]
