This car has to be banned for the following reasons:

1. Most unsafest car on the planet. Look at the pathetic tyres, the body etc.
Terrible.

2. Most ugliest car on the planet.

3. Best suited for Toy Car movies. Just like the new ridiculously styled Mazda toy
car lineup.

4. Dont even think about quality.

5. Only suited for straight line driving. Manoeuvring curves at speeds over 60kph
might result in the car toppling, tumbling and finally ending up in the roadside
bush, garbage pile or whatever.

6. Strictly for city or non-highway driving only. Driving next to a 5 tonne truck
or even just 6-Cylinder Sedan might result in the car being blown away to the
other side of the media or in some cases the car might even land up on a branch
of a passing by tree.

7. 0-100 in…let me guess.. 10 minutes may be.

8. 100 – 0 in 20 minutes. Care must be taken to avoid sudden braking.

Its about time that Indian Car Manufacturers start thinking about Quality, Safety
and Reliability.

If I missed anything…guys..please add.

Man, that thing’s just crying out for some 18 inch rims and a body kit.

If you were talking to a sensible person, then yes.

If you are talking to a car company, then “could cause a fire” means “has caused fires, and now we have to tell you; in fact it’s probably burning now and you should check.”

Generally.

For the amount of effort and money that TATA has put into producing and marketing this car, three that may catch fire is very good statistics when you compare the stats to the bigwigs.

I do agree for the above comments, incedence are very little, and people are makeing issue.. but As a customer of NANA, I approached to TATA customer care,mumbai, Hyderabad.. Responce is “we will inspect the vehicle” when I contacted Concord service they are responding that “WE DONT KNOW” the issue … I am experenced that the responce from services team is not addressing the issue.. poor service..
