Zed, my Red Tata Zest. EDIT: 20 months & 25,000 kms update

karzzexped · 8th December 2014, 19:46

Congratulations Mr.Arindam on your ZED. The Zest looks nothing short of stunning and just gleams in the morning sun in its Venetian Red avatar and may well be the best color that suits the car. And a nicely put ownership review. Looking to see more pics of this flaming beauty.

Congratulations Arindam on your new acquisition . The car surely looks great in its red color. Yours is the first ownership review that I have read about the Zest also probably one of the most well written reviews on the forum.
I agree Tata has come a long way from the rickety early Indica days. Hope the long term reliability demonstrated by the Zest changes the public perception regarding Tata motors.
Wishing you years of trouble-free and safe journey with the new baby!

Many Congratulations @arindam_Xeta for the first ZEST of the forum. She looks stunning in red and I am sure the way Xeta was close to your heart, Zest will also win you over.
Tata Motors does need loyal customers like you and hope the company keeps up to the expectations of its customers.
Many happy miles on the Zest and keep us updated of the drive and experience as you crunch miles.

Congratulations on the new "Laal Gadi" of the family. Thanks for the very detailed review and figures. I was keen to get an owner's take on the 3 Drive modes of the engine. Good to know that the "Sports" mode is not just a gimmick and actually works.

Got to see a preview of the ZED in Samba's post on the recent Mukutmanipur trip. It definitely has road presence. Wish you many more happy miles ahead.

Congratulations Arindam on your new family member ZED. Great review in detail. Wish you happy mile crunching.

The interior looks mind blowing. Tata has come long way in providing rich interiors. I was looking for Zest ownership reviews to decide on Car of Year 2014 vote. Your review gave in depth detail and unbiased account of the vehicle.

arpit90 · 8th December 2014, 21:20

Congratulations! The car looks fabulous in red. Wish you many happy miles

shashi63 · 8th December 2014, 22:07

Many congratulations on your new ride! She looks good and I am sure she will give you many miles of joy! Have a safe drive!

Jude300 · 8th December 2014, 22:38

Congrats!!!

I have been waiting to see a ownership thread on the Revtron engine and your descriptive review is a good one. Its very detailed and I love the way you have put things here.

Enjoy the many miles in your new found love.

NST440 · 8th December 2014, 22:55

Heartiest congratulations Arindam on your new wel thought of and worth every penny acquisition. It was nice to see how you have put your relationship with Tata in words. I guess you have just taken the right decision and i feel Zest would not disappoint you a bit.

Infact buying the Zest is actually buying the Tata's refined and fresh outlook towards the future and the color red compliments the car.Wish you miles of smiles and a great life with your Red hot Zest ahead.

Chethan B G · 8th December 2014, 23:41

Congratulations Arindam,
A very pragmatic approach towards reviewing a car, for what it is and the experience it offers. Liked the car, loved the review. The Tata Zest is one car which pulls your heart strings of every Indian car enthusiast as it is one serious effort at offering quality at an international level, it is for me the Car of the Year. The ZED is stunning in its red avatar. Here is wishing you and your family lots of happiness with the new car.

Congratulation on the new purchase. I am sure you will enjoy it to the fullest. last week when i went to the showroom to check on the zest, i was told that the car has 3 years all services included. No cost whatsoever. Why did you buy an AMC?

kingofmyworld · 9th December 2014, 02:31

Wonderful choice I must say. Congrtulations on the zest my friend.

Can you post more pics of the fuel meter? Is the fuel meter just 4 leds? :O

Reinhard · 9th December 2014, 08:45

Hey! Hearty congratulations on the Zesty new ride and on the earliest review on tbhp.

Wishing you and your family unlimited safe and happy miles with the car. Wonderful colour.

Enjoy the punchy petrol!

Congratulations on owning what might, in all likelihood, be crowned the T-BHP car of the year

Thanks for such a detailed review. Wishing you many happy and safe miles ahead.
