Indica V2 - The Optimal car

Just one day ago, I had put an article on this site on all the specs on Indica and now I can’t find it. Why????


But that is not going to stop me from writing, not from me going out of this page.


I own a Euro - II V2, since last April. I’ve done an average of 1000kms per month and till date, I am a satisfied owner.


I went for the ’’marine blue’’ body paint, a new and cool color. Many envy on that color, I know.


Talking about space, this car is much much much much more spacious than Maruti 800, Zen, Alto, Santro and WagonR. WagonR is a slight taller, but the interior space counts.


I had a very good project work done before I finally decided to buy Indica. My sister who works in Tata group vouched for it. It was seconded by my younger sister, who also owns an Indica and an Armada.


(Wow, I put my vote for Armada too.... what a jeep!!!)


Then, it was my friend and co-worker with whom I am going to office. He too owns an Indica, but petrol engine. Goodness, you need to see the fuel gauge falling down with each mile.


My friend Baiju, who also owns a couple of Indicas in his family vouched for it.


Only one uncle who bought a Zen recently told all the negativities of Tata’s vehicles, diesel engines and the car as such.


Pricing.... Indica comes in affordable prices, and I was very lucky to get a very good finance scheme.


Driving experience - My friend who owns a petrol Indica cannot find the difference between the petrol and diesel engine pick-ups. My car has the same pick up as his petrol engine..... and I can prove that. Even going uphill in the 5th gear with the AC on, the engine won’t choke ar stagger, provided the torque is given.


Many people complain about the bulky body and the manueirity problems. But that is why the car is coming with power steerings. You need only the minimal space to turn or park. Again, I can prove that!.


Milage   NO COMMENTS. There is no point in comapring the amazing milage my engine gives with any other cars. Except once or twice I must have run without the AC and never has my car went below 17 Km per litre. And that too driving in the city, during rush office hours. I never had a chance to go long distance, I am planning to make one trip next month and will update the long-drive milage.


Sound - Yes, it has the sound..... then what does everyone expect from a sturdy and strong engine....silent? never!!! But that is not noise.


Now coming to who should buy : Anyone who needs an economical drive, who really cares for money need to go for this car only. But if you are a person who don’ t care for cars, you better not buy this car.
