I purchased a Tata Indigo LX during May 2003 and have been very happy with the overall performance of the car.
What I like : High ground clearance (particularly since I had a Fiat Uno earlier), steering / maneuverability, ride quality especially on bad roads, ample cabin and boot space, good NVH characteristics, very good AC and .. excellent fuel efficiency . Have been getting 14 to 15 kmpl under city conditions, with AC, much better than I expected.
What I dont like : Pickup is sluggish, particularly in 2nd gear. One has to develop slightly different technique for gear changing, as compared to a petrol engine, else the engine rpm drops rapidly. Needs a fairly heavy foot on the throttle !
Would have liked a rear windscreen wiper.
Good family car, very good choice for a chauffer driven vehicle, considering the very comfortable back seats.
Not the choice for youngsters who want the pep and zip.
