I am loking fr empala desin and best average in ct&hiway with low maintainance cot only In dzel version
Still no response abount MANZA PETROL ?
I took a test drive of both Swift DZire (Diesel) and Tata Indigo Manza Aura Quadrajet (Diesel). I found the Manza to be far superior to DZire. Here are the observations that justify my take:
1. Pick-up of both cars was more or less same.
2. I couldn’t see any problems with the steering of Manza. Infact, it is an adjustable steering with two positions to choose from. Perhaps from woman’s perspective it might be a bit hard but it is certainly not hard/rough from Men’s perspective (and btw, I am not too tall/sturdy).
3. Interior look and comfort wise Manza is far superior
4. External look wise the DZire looks like an extended version of Swift. However, while the Swift looked quite appealing the DZire has got that typical Kaam-chalaau look where-in to cover-up for the lack of boot space in Swift a dicky was added to its rear to form a DZire. Though this purpose was well solved but it has costed the DZire on its overall looks which are neither stylish nor simple. Its somewhere in a Limbo !!! On the other hand, Manza has got Great looks. The rear side of Manza could have been designed a bit more aggresively however as compared to DZire the former’s front and back looks are much better !
5. Manza has got miles of space inside and in the boot. The rear seat is foldable giving additional luggage space, if need be.
6. In terms of Driving Feel, I found Manza to give that Royal Feel of driving a BIG car thats got Height, Weight and Sturdiness ingrained in every aspect. When other cars pass by, you feel superior by watching them as they all appear like tiny kids (am not comparing it with Honda cars which belong to a different class altogether).
7. In terms of Mileage, as I’ve come to know from various people, is more or less the same.
8. Stability during driving was found to be much better in Manza
The only thing thats stopping me to think/investigate more before going ahead with buying this awesome Tata car is doubts in my mind about Tata Motor’s after sale support. I’ve been using Maruti cars for the past several years and found their after sale support to be fast and satisfying.
Some people have asked this same question above but no one has answered it so far. I request people owning Tata cars to come up and help us get more aware of what are the exact issues on the their support front and have they done something to improve it?

I have bought Tata Indigo Manza Aura safire90(petrol) in may.I’ve had an average experience with my car, the looks could have been better,i mean the front lights, they are far too BIG!…and the front looks could have been a bit cheesier.The rear lights are also average.Though comparing it with swift dzire in looks, its miles ahead.
…tough it takes time to built up speed but it do zip for sure!.. 
The best part about looks is its side profile, its mind blowing.Interiors are very good!the music system is OK!the speedometer and other dials looks cool.The multimeter is also good,though i neva make out why my ambient temp is always 28 degrees cel lol. Its really spacious, backseat is like a huge sofa.AC is effective,but not that chilling.
Comparing interiors with dzire are you kiddin me…dzire one’s are cramped and looks worn out..
and now the most imp part performance.
FE is ok..i get 10-12 with full AC on.its decent ha.
Power – its powerful, it has a good pick-up, it really good to drive.I’ve been in many highway races as well as city races with swifts and punto’s and i tend to outrace them everytime.
Brakes-Brakes are good, really i’ve put thm to extreme conditions like 120km to stand stills, and the brakes will make you feel confident for sure!.
Steering-The steering is of decent size, chunky feels good in hand.
Gearbox-tall gears, its better but not upto any honda’ or maruti, but its tons ahead of prev gen tata cars.
So in the end Verdict – Go buy it,you wont regret!…
Test drove both… Manza is far faar faaar better than Swift Dzire…
Hi..Could anyone please tell me, what is the efficiency of Manza Aura+ Safire BS3/4?.
For Old Users….Any worst experience you had with Manza Petrol model?

I had almost finalised on Dzire(p), just then i saw manza,took a test drive and wow..!!! the petrol engine is amazing and space inside is definetly vvvvery generous, plz dont even compare dzire with manza…dzire is no were near it. And coming to price , i wonder if maruti is charging us tooo much or are tatas selling us a steal ??
I am going to book a Tata Manza Plese give openion.
Hi everyone..
I have seen all the comments but still not satisfied for the fact of Petrol cars. I have taken the trial for Manza and found that the pick up is not so good as Dzire. Did anyone notice it?
Waiting for all your comments.
If Manza is sooo… Good, can anyone suggest why D’zire has 3-5 months waiting till yet from its launch 4 year back? every second person is buying D’zire why? I am in line to change my car and I am looking for a diesel sedan.
Do you know a word called ” BHEEDDCHAAAL ” . That’s what most of buyers is doing..!!
Today i test drove Indigo Manza Aura(ABS). Got impressed by its comfort, pick up and brakes. Interiors are far better than II gen indigo. It doesn’t feel like “Diesel” when you are inside (the vehicle which came for TD had already clocked 9870 KM) yet i was impressed. Idling sound was also minimum when compared to indigo ecs which i test drove two days back. My only concern about Manza was the car seems to be too big, mind you i am 6’2″ and well built.
Regarding the Performance of Petrol versions, I would like to your notice that Manza Saffire runs with same powertrain as that of Linea so one need not worry.
Further, as far as my understanding goes (pls correct me if i am wrong), you can always expect a mileage in the range of 10-14Kmpl which covers both city and long drives in any petrol car irrespective of the brand be it a hyundai, suzuki, ford or tata because the technology in petrol engines has not changed much.
As far the diesel version, I see tata are the forerunners. The sheer number of diesel cars on road from tata should bear testimonial.
I m planning to buy Dzire but by look i m not satisfied. I heared that tata has expertise in commercial vehicle so i have desided for Dzire……. plzzz help me i m in dailema which one to buy…..
boss..i hust wanna know that is tata a trustworthy in the long run..!!
boss..i just wanna know that is tata a trustworthy in the long run..!!

Pls see all the lowly rated Indica Cabs. Any car that is driven by a driver (and not the owner gets abused, when there is no fare, to put it mildly). And if it lasts for about 2Lac km, as is the normal case with most cabs, it is likely that it will last for about 10 years with a pivate owner. AND here we are talking about a so called premium car from TATA; AND steel used in Manza is free from TATA steel
. Hence, personally, I expect the car to last for a good 10 years.
i am planning to buy diesel sadan budget 6-7 lacks i am confuse between indigo & dzire i don’t like dzire shape same like ambasador and i like manza looks but after all main thing resale factor of tata, currently maruti dzire has big resale value i don’t know about manza. in india no more option for cars i like suv but not in my budget scorpio i can buy but average and maintainance is big so i have two option swift or manza any one can help me about this confussion.
