Wondering what would happen if you bring home a Tata Altroz DCA? This ownership report should help you decide faster.
BHPian W.A.G.7 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Today the car completed 8000kms. I am happy to report that it is performing as expected. It does its duty twice weekly, clocking around 80-100 kms weekly. It is a good option as a second car of the house. There were no rattles or sounds after the servicing was done – so the issue of sound coming from the rear pillars was resolved. The tyres are holding well and I am glad they are much better quality than the MRFs. Auto headlamps and wipers work as expected – although I feel the sensitivity of the auto headlamps is a tad too much. I mean they are quick to turn on at the slightest hint of shadows, but don’t turn off as quickly as expected when the car is back again in the sunlight. The air conditioner works like a charm, and on a side note, we managed to break the knob on one of the rear A/C vents, causing it to roll inside. Something that needs to be extricated during the next service.
The speedo screen and the piano black surface(s) are scratch nightmares and we have managed to put so many scratches on the surface, that we stopped thinking about it. The interiors are holding up well, no complaints on that part. Everything is screwed and bolted together tightly. Seats lack under-thigh support for me (I am 5’10”) but are just right for my wife who is 5’2″.
There was supposed to be a road trip in December but we had to take flights due to a shortage of time. Now hopefully in the summer vacation, we will have one. Once again, it needs a proper detailing session and some photos on the thread. But for now, this update should do. I see a lot of opinions about how the Tata sales, after-sales & service experience is; but luckily for us, Garve Tata has been quite okay in that sense. Not exceptionally good, but at-least not as bad as some of the experiences penned down in some of the threads.
Here’s a pic of the speedometer. Just look at the scratches on it!
