Tata Indica Vista Quadrajet

I bought Indica Vista Quadrajet Aura - marine silver(light bluish color) on april 8 2009

I had checked various reviews and forum views about various hatchbacks like i10, swift, Indica Vista saffire, Indica vista Quadrajet , A-star, WagonR, Santro, Spark, Alto etc

I ruled out Alto, A-star for Rear space comfort. As these cars having less rear seat space. Spark is out, mainly due to few service centers .I ruled out i10 as I found it is overpriced for the features it offered. Swift- good car, as my DAD own one(petrol car), I thought of buying different car.

• There was little confusion over Petrol or Diesel car. As every one suggested go for Diesel car only if you have monthly running kms of min 1000KM. Actually, I will be using the car mostly for Highway, for going to native >150 km journey on weekend.

Though I may take out the car less frequently now, but once we get used to it, we may take it frequently later. This made me to go for Diesel car (considering future -more travel in car )

• WagonR is out, b’coz it is not good for Highway driving when compared to Indica Vista.

Santro is out, due to its bumpy rides. **Vista has better suspension.

I asked my friends who are having TATA cars, they said, **after Indica V2, tata cars are very good, and gives less maintenance, and their technology got improved.

• After driving the Vista Demo car, my mind always said, go for Vista. I like the rear seat space and Vista is having Sedan space in a hatchback.

Finally, I compared Swift Diesel and Vista Quadrajet, as both are having same fiat diesel engine. If budget is a problem, you can buy Vista Tdi - very VFM car. Else, you can buy **Vista Quadrajet Aura -VFM car.

*Vista vs Swift:-

• *Vista is cheaper than Swift

  
  




• Vista has lot of extra features than swift diesel

  
  




• Suspension is good in vista .

  
  




• Vista is more spacious than Swift

  
  




• Vista has foldable rear seats, adjustable steering, rear wash wiper, etc

  
  

**Vista looks cute

**Inbuilt CD/MP3/WMA player

Indica Vista is lengthier than other hatchbacks. And, Vista suspension is better than other hatchbacks.
