I am an owner of the Tata Sierra. It is an awesome vehicle, it has a terrific image, and people think you are of high status when you alight from one.
Its diesel, and gives 10 kmpl in ride as you please mode in the city. Most of the parts are shared with Tata mobile and Sumo, so no problem for parts whatsoever.
The plus points are SUV looks, awesome suspension, solid build
Minus points are getting into the rear for old or fat people.
I keep my Sierra serviced from Tata, that way eventhough I end up paying more, it is done very well and not as shoddy as neighbourhood mechanics.
I bought the vehicle second hand, at 1 lakh. It was in a pretty bad shape as far as interiors and mechanicals go. I've now nursed it back to health and it runs like a dream.
Many people call it a white elephant, but the way I look at it is, 1 lakh downpayment and 2, 000 EMI per month. That way I always stay in profit. Costs me about 24 grand a year in maintenance and that is everything, even tyres and cosmetic stuff
