Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
03 November 2024 01:55
Absolutely. Driving the Ace isn't like driving other vehicles and requires a special skill to do safely. Drivers could be properly trained, and in fact, it may even professionalize the industry, if they got a special license.
Is the Tata Ace just a case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' or is the design outdated?
28 November 2024 03:30
The Ace is held back from new markets by the current design. If they want to export it, they will have to bring it up to international standards, and that probably means a redesign.
The Tata Ace – is it really the 'Workhorse of India' or just a safety hazard on wheels?

The vehicle is not to blame for bad driving. The problem is not the Ace, the Ace is just a tool, it's how people use it. We don't need to bash a vehicle that has helped so many people make a living, we need better driver training and stricter enforcement of loading limits.
Why are Tata Ace drivers always on a hurry?
13 November 2024 14:02
And as someone who has worked in logistics, I can tell you, it's all about the numbers. Because these guys are paid per delivery, every minute counts. I know they drive like that, it’s not right, but I get why they do.
Is India's entrepreneurial spirit or its economic desperation on display in the popularity of the Tata Ace?
25 November 2024 00:17
It's a stepping stone. Or maybe it starts with an Ace, but I've seen guys grow from that to having multiple trucks and running actual logistics companies. It's starting people, which is more than a lot of government programs do.
This leads us to the question, is the Altroz iTurbo really worth the premium over the NA version?
06 November 2024 05:14
Absolutely worth it! The turbo provides an extra punch that makes a big difference on highways. I went from the NA and it's like night and day.
How do things stand long term when it comes to the build quality of the Altroz iTurbo?

Tata’s service centers are hit or miss but the build quality is great. Good car, but after sales support is questionable.

Solid mechanically, but the infotainment system can be less than solid from time to time. But software updates have helped.
The performance of the Altroz iTurbo does it live up to the hype?
09 November 2024 18:01
Honestly, I expected more. It's better than the NA for sure, and doesn't feel quite as punchy as a handful of other turbo hatches I've driven.
Is the Altroz iTurbo a user friendly car for new drivers?

In fact, it’s awesome for new drivers. It’s easy to get moving from a stop without stalling thanks to the torque.

Highway mileage is great! On long trips I've seen 19 km/l. It’s another story when it comes to city driving.
How fuel efficient is the Altroz iTurbo, as claimed by Tata?
08 December 2024 05:59
Though more efficient than my old NA Altroz, it's not by a huge margin. Probably an overall 1-1.5 km/l better.
Can the Tata Avinya's 'born electric' platform edge out converted ICE vehicles?
26 December 2024 06:08
But I’m more interested in the battery tech and the charging capabilities. If those aren’t competitive, the platform type doesn’t matter as much.
Will the futuristic design of the Tata Avinya see production?
12 November 2024 17:42
The concept will be nowhere near the production version. The designs are always watered down to make them cheaper to produce. A generic crossover shape with some fancy lights is what you'll get.
Will the futuristic design of the Tata Avinya see production?
28 November 2024 19:44
Lately, Tata has been getting bolder with their designs. I wouldn't be shocked if they stretch their legs and keep a lot of the futuristic elements. It would be a perfect halo car for the brand.
Will the Tata Avinya’s range and charging abilities be comparable to Tesla?
03 December 2024 17:13
Tata will probably succeed in crafting the Avinya with decent range, but its true challenge will be to build out a credible fast charging network to rival Tesla’s Superchargers.
Can the Tata Avinya stand up to the established luxury EV brands?
09 December 2024 08:47
Brand perception is fickle. Think about how Hyundai and Kia have moved upmarket. With the right product and marketing, Tata could do the same.
What kind of software and UI will the Tata Avinya will have compared to tech focused EVs like Tesla?
07 December 2024 02:19
Things like a responsive touchscreen and seamless smartphone integration are what they have to nail. Later on, fancy features can come.
What does it say about you, socially or in terms of how people view you, if you own a Tata Harrier Dark Edition?
12 December 2024 02:42
It's actually actually because of the exclusivity of the Dark Edition that I've networked in ways I wouldn't have expected. Other Harrier owners I’ve met at service centers and parking lots have been great professional connections.
