I wanted exchange Maruti 800 for a new car.Choices in my mind were ....santro Xing, Wagon R and Getz, swift I didnt liek much for its space n looks.This wud be our 2nd car as my dad alrady have a Santro which I also drive a lot.So though I was vry impressed with the new santro xing, i opted for othr cars..for a change , and which wud give more power n stability with a bigger feel.
Saw wagon r, getz and alto.Lastly test drove the Indica xeta , was impressed by its space , interiors..speciall y the white dials n beige dash borads n seat cover.Was not that heavy to drive watever, instead quiet smooth.The test drive car had some noises n thuds though.Finally i bought a salsa red GLG.with sony explod music system in early July.
Now am really satisfied with my choice, feels grt to drive around in the mornings or in less traffic. does not tmean u dont enjoy city traffic, just the santro is lighter to feel n Power steering I s also light.But anyways I was looking for a bit muscular car !
Only TWO things still haunt me.....tatas petrol car xeta is giving erratic mileage...first 200 kms I got abt 11-12 /litre. next 200 K m am getting abt 7-8 /litre ??? strange! well to Early to comment as my car is driven only abt 400 Km aftr coming out of showroom.Revers gear is not much a problem for me.But sometimes is not so smooth.Reverse gear light! hey put the right hand side also on!!!!! its missing , god knows y.Aslo having trouble starting the car in one go first time in the day, though after that it dosent give any prob. rest of day.Can anyone help me out on dis.Improved after using System g Fuel additive as recom. by service centre.Hope the prob vanishes completely....Touched speeds of abt 120-30 Kmph with ease on Vidyasagar setu.REST OK >GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY, STRONG , MILEAGE??
