Indica Xeta GVS-2006 DECEMBER model is the version which I own. The first blunder I made with this car was to install the lpg gas kit.The Engine control unit of the car failed miserably and had to go for a complete replacement of the ECU. I Lost 15000+ for ECU as well as 13500+ for gas conversion. Now with all the replacements the car has covered 43000 KMs. Starting as well as driving is still smooth. Service center persons are now asking me to change the clutch plates. They changed nearly 5000 rs worth parts during last service. Total maintenance cost incurred for me for past 3.9 years was around 35000 excluding the cost for gas conversion and subsequent replacements of ECU and its allied equipments. This cost includes servicing charge, oil change, under body coating etc..etc..
Driving comfort is not seen to have much, not good for long drives covering more than 250 kms. Nothing has been replaced from engine side until now. interior lights does not turn on some times when the doors are opened. Gear shifts had been smooth, but some tightness is experiencing now a days. Possibly, may be because of this, the service persons asked for a replacement for clutch plates. It costs more than 5000 as they told. 4 tyres (god year) have been replaced by Apollo amazer XL, another 10000 at 40000 kms. Severe rattling sound comes from here and there. AC is good. Average mileage -13.7 kmpl as on now. overall its a good package. no body in India can give you a car with AC, power steering, and decent performance so cheap. BUT....... If you have a habit of frequently changing cars.........then a big NO. Because it is better to drive this car until you die and let it go with u to the grave!!! Because nobody wants it as a second hand vehicle. I asked a second hand car dealer to take my vehicle and he offered a 1 lakh for a 40000 run, patch free, mint silver, new tires car. I was having a plan to buy a diesel car. I told him bye and decided to live with it. if I could put the exetra amount I have to shed to buy a diesel car in a bank, I could very well find the extra amount for the extra cost of petrol.
