Tata Punch
₹ 6.13 Lakh Onwards
Umang Rustagi
I've been to Nanital, Shimla and Rishikesh with my Accomplished Dayton Grey AMT Punch and believe me if anyone says AMT is not good for Hills they don't know how to drive. I can share extreme weather and offroad hill performance video of this Compact SUV and you will be surprised.
There are few cons though, You don't have AC panels at back. Very compact space at front to keep your stuff. Not a single detailed manual is received where you can't select Nexon instead of non available Punch and the Dashboard Screen is very laggy. It sometimes doesn't work and you have to shut down your car for few hours and then start to work on Carplay or Android Auto. But I guess that's common across all Tata Cars.
It's a very bumpy ride on back seats. My mother never prefers to sit at back because of feel of bumps is extreme at back.
Buying Experience:
You need to learn about your car by yourself. When I bought on the launch month, not everything was available on Site and my agent didn't spoke about the Dazzle pack to me else I would have surely bought it. Insurance is very expensive on Tata's ICICI Lombard 1+3 Years. Rest they are very helpful in all the process if the delivery is not conflicting their lunch timings.
2 - Servicing and Maintenance: It doesn't require much of maintenance but make sure you are prepared to sit for hours at Exit gate of Service which takes more time then whole service of the car. Complete waste in management there.
I'd highly recommend you to customize your car with third party dealers for headlights and foglights as you can't even read on paper with the Tata owned halogen lights.
