Dear All, I recently got delivery of tata punch petrol mt adventure rhytm on road 7.6 lacs in Delhi. I would be putting my driving review in this thread.
Reason to Buy : I needed to replace my 10 year approaching dzire diesel due to the stupid NGT rule and decided to go for only petrol car (no diesel,cng) as my annual mileage will be aroun 5,000 km with an equal mix of highway and city. But, with last few years, safety has become prime importance and my budget was maximum INR 8 lacs (depreciating asset). But, yes i did not want one bit to compromise on safety. Rejected the following cars
Maruti Brezza - More expensive, lower GNCAP rating 4*, Old looks
Altroz - Great looks, 5 STAR gncap, but lower GC was a bummer
Hyundai/kia build quality is flimsy and were always out of contention.
Finally with the arrival of the new tata punch, i bought as it was within my budget and best safety
I had pre booked this car in early sept as it was the safest vfm car ib my budget for driving. I don't mind slightly lower mileage or few days at workshop for best safety. Also , I do own tata zest and dzire and I always found tata zest better in the two.
Dealership Experience:
The dealer was Malwa Motors, Delhi and the experience was okay as they gave me the delivery before DIWALI, albeit after a bit of chasing.
The Price Break up is as follows:
Ex showroom : 6,74,000
RTO : 54,000
Insurance : 27,000
Accessories : 4,000
I did negotiate with dealer to give lower quote as per outside companies and cover all add ons like : RTI, Zero dep, consumables etc.
Here are exterior images of the car at my residence. The car looks very good from all angles
Please feel free for any questions or doubts. I feel it is a wonderful buy . Family safety is indispensable. On top this car is a looker.. my son has given it a name - TANAHAJI.
Dear all and 350z - I will edit and make a detailed ownership review for my manual drive here in next few days please bear till then. In the meanwhile did a small trip to lodhi garden early morning band got mileage of 22 km+. The traffic was light and it was more like a highway drive. Pic attached
Here I am covering the interiors and some exteriors The 7 inch infotainment screen is very good and has andrioid auto, but please note it is not wireless. The ovrm are electrically adjustable which is a great boon. All the windows have power functionality. The sound Garmin system is great to listen and this car has 4 speakers on each door and 2 tweeters in the front. The tyres are broad and R15/185/70 Apollo.
