I am looking to go for my first car ever in my life. Please advise me..As I had discussed with all my friends and relatives, all are saying , do not go for tata cars.Dealer may be good, car may be good but service is very bad.. sometimes tata cars are stopping in the middle of the journey.
Like that one relative told All are voting for maruti .. for its service and milage etc.. But I feel, tata cars have more space .. but what about maintenance cost, fuel cost I mean milage etc?I need few details from all XETA owners/lovers:I am sorry, iam asking too many questions here .. but please answer, which ever you know so that I will assume and find others from other people.
How is XETA driving experience?
How is maintenance cost?3. Any problems?4. How is service from TATA service stations?5. Is there any option to go for LPG fitted for XETA?6. What is the mileage in city conditions and highway long distance conditions?7. I am first time going for car in my life. Is it advisable to go for XETA ?8. On Road price of the car?I have seen the ex-show room price as :Tata Indica V2 Xeta GL-BS III Rs. 2, 54, 530.00Tata Indica V2 Xeta GLE-BS III Rs. 2, 79, 860.00Tata Indica V2 Xeta GLG-BS III Rs. 3, 23, 510.00 Tata Indica V2 Xeta GLS-BS III Rs. 2, 99, 470.00Tata Indica V2 Xeta GLX-BS III Rs. 3, 51, 290.009.

Small car advice me please!!Thanks in advance..Kirankiran.jakkaraju@ gmail.com--------------------------------------------------------------update(2): 02-Apr-2007I went to Chennai and came today morning to Bangalore. As saturday was a bundh in Chennai, I could not visite any dealer/showroom.I and my wife called to Manipal Motors to know whether it is opened on sunday as saturday was bundh so that we can go and see the XETA car for first time. They replied back and told that check with near by showroom , which was Anna Nagar one, that is VST motors. Manipal motors given the phone numbers and one VST guy picked up and told that this is MountRoad number and given one more number for Anna Nagar.
We called 2-3 times, the mobile was ringing, no one picked up, we tried 4th time , atlast they told that we are sorry, we are on a holiday for sunday. And told to contact from monday to saturday.Today, my wife got a call from VST guy (not from anna nagar guy , some other) and asked us to come to the showroom and look the XETA. My wife told that we will visit on a weekend.Lets see, how it goes next week..I will update you our first impression on dealers/showrooms of TATA ..Wild guess - correct me if I am wrong.https://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/indica-users/message/26460 update-3 (6th April 07)I am still undecided to purchase XETA after reading WagonR duowhich gives 10-15KM on LPG per liter in city and 15-20KM in highway.. per literbut we have to go for 1lac extra on XETA to get wagonRalso.
Some people wrote that, WagonR have good resale value than XETAone more important things the pple are telling that Tata cares only for Indicab people not for normal customers. Resale value of TATA vehicles are very less.>IF there is any LPG option for XETA, the things might have been different.Now, I am going to go to Maruti & Tata showroom for WagonR and XETA and check the prices etcif the difference is more than 1 lac, then go for xeta else go for WagonR.irrespective of looks, because ultimately, we need to reduce daily cost and maintenance and super service that we need.comments please!!!
