Life with my Tata Tiago petrol after driving 50000 km in over 5 years

I will keep this car until an EV comes in. This will be used more as a city runner now due to lack of ABS.

BHPian icem@n recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

A summary of my 5 and a half years with Tiago. Just completed 50k kms on my Dec 16 XT(o) petrol. Would have completed it couple of years back had the world not changed on March 2020. Has been a trouble free ownership mostly. ~60-65% of the time has been spent on B2B traffic with a good portion of that in 1st-2nd-break ritual. Have completed quite a few outstation trips that have included 700+ kms a day.
Have serviced the car at ASCs at prescribed intervals.

Issues faced:

1. Back gear switch (controls back light, sensors) replaced within six months under warranty due to malfunction.
2. Battery was replaced in 2.5 years as the company fitted one went kaput.
3. Tyres were replaced at 40k as the company fitted Bridgestones were at end of life and became hard. Upgraded to Continental CC5 185/60 R14.
4. The car spent a week in the bodyshop to replace bumper as it was hit by a rowdy auto changing lanes without indication. Insurance claim was smooth and ASC service was good.
5. My car came with four speakers but later when i discovered that it had wiring for tweeters i added two in front after sourcing from boodmoo.
6. Added Aozoom fog projectors as headlight is pathetic. But now have kept it disconnected due to a battery drain episode. I connect it when I need it but generally kept disconnected.
7. Had changed clutch plate in last service in May this year as the clutch had become hard.

Overall it has been a very good experience an will keep this until an EV comes in. This will be used more as a city runner now due to lack of ABS and highway cruiser will come in soon (search on). Definitely a bang for buck given that i had got it for just above 5 lakhs. I am fully satisfied and infact got my family to buy another one a year back.
