How much extra does the Tata Safari Dark Edition command over the regular model?
26 December 2024 09:44
Overpriced for sure. If you wanted, you could use the savings to get the regular Safari and then use the savings to buy some sick aftermarket upgrades.
Is the Tata Winger the ultimate affordable camping van?
26 December 2024 09:27
Absolutely! A blank canvas for the DIY enthusiast is the Winger. If you have a bit of imagination, you can make it into a cosy home on wheels without spending a fortune.
Is the Tata Winger comfortable and feature laden enough to take on the modern minivans?
26 December 2024 09:27
The simplicity of the Winger is its strength. It's less likely to have expensive electronic failures down the road and easier to maintain.
Is it smart business to convert a Tata Winger into a food truck?
26 December 2024 09:27
A major issue is power supply. If you go the Winger route, you will need to invest in a good generator or electrical system that can be challenging to integrate into a Winger.
Could the Tata Winger be turned into an off road adventure vehicle?
26 December 2024 09:27
With overlanding in mind, the Winger’s boxy shape is perfect for the build. Lots of room for gear, and simple to throw a roof rack or rooftop tent on top.
Is the Tata Winger a good candidate for conversion to a mobile home office?
26 December 2024 09:27
It’s very hard to beat from a cost perspective. For a fraction of the cost of renting a traditional workspace, you could create a fully functional mobile office.
Is Tata Tiago’s infotainment system really user friendly or just flashy?
24 December 2024 12:59
I guess I'm just not that impressed with it, honestly, I think it's more flash than function. I have the touchscreen laggy and freezing up. Most of the time I just used a phone mount. Instead of crammed features, Tata should have concentrated on making it more reliable.
How does the Tata Tiago ride on Indian roads when compared to its rivals?
24 December 2024 12:59
If you've been following us, you know that I have driven both the Tiago and the Tiago NRG, both of which being relatively soft suspension cars, the NRG has slightly more ground clearance and tweaked suspension that make for a better car for rougher roads. If good ride quality is at the top of your priority list, it may be worth the extra price to get the NRG.
Can tall passengers fit into the Tata Tiago's cabin space and comfort?
24 December 2024 12:59
It's all about expectations. But the Tiago does a decent job for a car in this segment. Is a Honda City as spacious? Of course not. It’s less urbane than something like a Maruti Alto but for the same kind of car, it feels very airy and open.
Do online reviews about the Tata Tiago being as unreliable as they claim it to be?
24 December 2024 12:59
I've had my Tiago over 2 years and it's been rock solid. It was a regular maintenance job: No real issues at all. A lot of the negative reviews I think that are online are from people that got a lemon or went to a particular service center and had a bad experience.
Does the Tata Tiago’s high safety rating really mean real world protection?
24 December 2024 12:59
I have my doubts over how much of this will hold true in real Indian conditions. I wonder if our roads are so chaotic that the controlled crash tests don't actually simulate what happens in a real accident here. While the Tiago might be safer than some, it’s not invincible.
Is the real world range of the Tata Punch EV a deal breaker?
24 December 2024 12:49
If you know what you’re getting into, it’s not a deal breaker. In reality, most EVs don’t attain their advertised range. But if you're just using it for city commutes, 200-250 km is more than enough for a week of driving.
Is the Tata Punch EV plagued with quality control issues or are they just teething problems?
24 December 2024 12:49
This is definitely teething problems. There are always going to be issues with every new model, particularly a new EV platform. That's a good sign, Tata's been pretty quick to address them.
Does the Tata Punch EV price justify its features and competition?
24 December 2024 12:49
If you think of the long term savings on fuel and maintenance, the price is justified. Also, you’re getting the latest EV tech in a small package.
How does the Tata Punch EV perform, compared to its ICE counterpart, in real life?
24 December 2024 12:49
In city driving, the Punch EV blows the ICE version out of the water. It's just so much more fun in stop and go traffic due to that instant torque.
What are India’s diverse climate conditions like for the Tata Punch EV?
24 December 2024 12:49
It appears that the thermal management system works well. I’ve not seen any unusual battery degradation even after fast charging in hot weather.
So is the ADAS system on the Tata Harrier actually useful in Indian driving conditions?
24 December 2024 12:34
And I have used the Harrier’s ADAS on highways and it works surprisingly well. In moderate traffic, the adaptive cruise control works great and the lane keep assist is useful on well to mark roads. It's a good start for Indian conditions, not perfect by any means.
Is the Tata Harrier the hype, or just another overhyped Indian SUV?
24 December 2024 12:34
I test drove the Harrier and its competitors, and it's a mixed bag. In ride quality, space and overall refinement, the Harrier is a winner, but it does lag behind some rivals. That really depends on what your priorities are. If you like a tough build and don’t mind the rough edges, go for it. If you’re looking for a more polished experience look elsewhere.
How does the Tata Harrier’s infotainment system compare to the competition?
24 December 2024 12:34
The Harrier's infotainment is pretty impressive for an Indian made car. It’s not as polished as some European brands, but it’s packed full of features and easy to use. It also has a nice JBL sound system. It's not bad, I think it holds its own against most of its competitors in the segment.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
I switched from a hatchback to a Harrier so I can say it took some getting used to. In narrow lanes, it feels massive and U turns can be a pain. The downsides of that are that they tend to be heavy, bulky, and require a large amount of space, but the benefits of space and comfort outweigh the downsides for me. Adapting your driving style is all it’s about.
