I bought a used Maruti 800 in february last year. I am 6.1 foot, so you can well understand the level of comfort I had in the car.... :)
So I planned for a bigger and a new car. Had a budget of 4.0 lakhs at max. All my friends own cars, most of them were Santro. However there is Ford Icon, Wagon R, Accent & Swift also. So I had tested my driving skills on all of them. There was no need for me to go for test drives of all the cars that came in my budget.
Suddenly I planned to go for a Tata Indica test drive. It was a amazing experience for me when I drove the car for the first time. From inside it was like a big car without the bootspace. I decided to go for a Indica Petrol.
Got my car delivered on 12th September 08 and trust me it is a value for money. It is too early to comment but comfort and suspension are just rocking. Have drove about 500km till now-> Mileage 11kmpl which is expected to increase by atleast 2 kmpl after the 1st service. "Dude dnt forget that you are driving a 1200cc car". The ac is very good, cools the car within few mins. The interiors are also good in its category.
The ratings:
brakes-good
power steering-good
space-very very good
looks-upto you
stability-fantastic(compared to other cars in its category)
i will keep updating the review as the car rolls more.
