Firstly thank you all for all your reviews on Indica Xeta it surely helped in setting my expectations right for the indica Xeta. Going through most of the reviews I understood that the car does have some neg and positive points. I too have some points to add here
I have been driving a santro for some time now and have adjusted to the feel of that car so the following points are very noticible when I drive a xeta.
Neg( -),
The pick-up response is slightly low.
The gear shifting is not as smooth.
The doors need to be pushed a little harder.
When it rains it feels like sitting under a tin roof.
The Cabin does not cut off loud sounds as good as santro( Loud Speakers, Ganpati visarjan drums etc)
Braking is average the car slips slightly on parking brakes so always leave it on a higher gear when you park the car.
Head lamps are poor
Pos(+)
Sturdy. the car is very stable on the road,
The average is good 16+ with AC in City
Long drives are comfortable seating is good
AC is good start it on "2" and after 5 mins switch to "1" good enough for 2-3 passengers.
Good cabin space can change gears without obstruction as in santro.
Cost factor is the biggest+ point with a diffrence of approx 60 -65 k its a bargain.
As I said earlier its a good deal unless you plan to stick on to your car for more than 5 - 6 yrs. Value for money it gets you from point A to B effortlessly and with reasonable comfort.
