Any vehicle, particularly one that’s commonly used for commercial purposes, must have the reliability and maintenance costs in mind. As a workhorse vehicle, the Tata Magic CNG 8 Seater should also be able to withstand heavy use and, in some cases, face harsh conditions. Its long term durability, the frequency of repairs required and the availability of spare parts are the subject of much user debate. Tata also discusses how well its service network supports this model — especially in smaller towns and rural areas. Some even use it for years with minimal downtime, while other use it at all, have complaints. The addition of the CNG variant rolls this debate further, with concerns about the life of the CNG kit and its effect on the overall vehicle reliability.
