Ankita, co-founder OF 3 Mad Chicks, initially had no idea about cars. “All the research was done by my dad. He really believes in Tata. It was also a priority for us to have a car that at least had dual front airbags.” Before buying, she did take a test drive of the Tiago. “It was very comfortable. After the test drive we didn’t even give it a second thought and booked it immediately.” Now she uses it regularly. “More often than not, I forget to switch off the headlights, engage the handbrake, and even shut and lock the doors while parking the car. One feature that I love is that as soon as I try leaving this car, it beeps to remind me about these things. This is a really useful feature for me. There’s another feature that I really like. I can actually increase the height of the driving seat. So the visibility is just perfect for me.” Ankita also thinks that the car is very comfortable to drive in traffic and the steering is responsive. She believes she’s an aggressive driver but the Tiago still behaves very well on the road. “My family and friends love it. In fact, I was parking the car somewhere and someone actually stopped and asked me, since nobody had seen this car before, which car this was and how much it costs. Mostly, I hear a lot of compliments for the way the Tiago looks. The colour of my car really stands out. You don’t usually see this shade of brown; it’s a really nice colour.” She continued, “All the controls for the music player are right on the steering wheel. And I can’t drive without music. I’m always using those buttons on the wheel. My phone is always connected to the Bluetooth. So I can also receive calls by pressing a button on the steering wheel. This is very convenient for me. The buttons are also easy to find. There are also these convenient little hooks in the front and in the boot where you can hang bags which are really useful. I carry a lot of cartons with the bags we make in the boot. Overall, I’m pretty sated with the Tiago. And my dogs are always happy to go for a ride in it.”

Rahul Verma and Kanika Mittal
Rahul, a civil engineer and Kanika, an assistant manager with an insurance company have an interesting story about how they purchased a Tata Tiago. Rahul said, “I was initially checking some other cars. Once, while leaving a showroom, my friend and I saw a Tiago passing by. At that time I didn’t know it was a Tiago and neither did my friend. I wanted to find out which car it was and we followed it. It led us straight to a Tata showroom. We went in, saw the car and took it for a test drive. I realised Tata has boosted the looks, quality and features of its cars. Everything has been given in a neat package. I called my wife from the showroom and told her I had found our next car. She was a little hesitant, but I told her that once she would look at it, she would change her mind. We returned a few days later and she liked it a lot. We booked our Tiago immediately.” So what did Kanika like about it? “It’s fresh. The Tiago has a new look in a small car. It looks like a lot of effort was put into its exterior design.” She also thinks the Tiago is comfortable to drive, easy to manoeuvre in traffic and is good for trips to the market. “The music system is one of the best you get in any car. Our kids love it!” adds Rahul. “I especially like the clip on the windshield for tickets. When we’re on the highway, we can easily keep it there. The many utility spaces are nice. We can store so much inside the car. I recently picked up relatives from the train station. To my surprise, the Tiago accommodated four adults and five bags easily! Everyone was comfortable. Even over bumps, the Tiago is comfortable. If there are small speed breakers, I don’t even slow down. The suspension handles it beautifully and doesn’t lose control. We always feel safe in our Tiago”
