Most of the TATA cars are highly under-rated. [anger]

Nano, Indica, Vista, Manza, Sumo to list a few.
:agree: AS the trend continues the newer products from Tata also face this issue of being under-rated just because they belong to a family which was always under-rated from the very beginning.

Tata Aria had to face this issue even being a good product in its first version itself.

One should not undermine the quality of service and maintenance while rating a product,in this case Tata products deserves it.

It is like ,what is the point of owning a sports car if you cant get right fuel for it ,and call it underrated?
Right fuel, maintenance , warranty and healthy communication is the key for success of a Automotive related product.

when it comes to Tata's service support I will rate only 2/10 with 3 years of experience dealing with them.(though fiat has improved a lot there)

Care to elaborate how these cars seem to be underrated?
Yeah definitely:-
1):Honda Jazz:Being such a fab car with fantastic flexibility,comfort,performance and FE,still its not selling(blame bookings for that).Although,I think its still not that underrated..[:)]

2):Skoda Yeti:People don't know what sort of car this really is,but just think of it as a 'chhoti gaadi(small car at very big price)and leave it.

3):Ford Endy:It is such a fabulous SUV,but after the entry of Fortuner,its seldom that we find a new endy on the roads.In other words,people haven't even tried it out the way they did with fortuner.

Underrated normally means a good/capable car which is not selling in good numbers or has received a lot of flak/criticism.

Overrated means a bad/not so good car which is selling in huge numbers or has received a lot of appreciation.

What does underrate and overrated here in TAI means?
Medium of language in TAI is regular English, so please dont get misunderstood..

Underrated normally means a good/capable car which is not selling in good numbers or has received a lot of flak/criticism.

Overrated means a bad/not so good car which is selling in huge numbers or has received a lot of appreciation.
plus one to that.
And people opined about obsolete and outdated cars ..and the chaos .

the title asked "MOST" but people have classified all the car available in India either under or overrated

2):Fiat Punto:Definitely good car,solid built,decent performer(I haven't said great),good FE,great ride and handling as well as safety...still Punto is not selling in even 1/4th of the numbers it deserve..ITS CALLED UNDERRATED...Am I right guys?
