I got my vista tdi on 5 dec 2009.the very practical reason i choose vista tdi cos that was the only car that would suit my pocket . I got for 3.99lakhs on road thane registration.
Now let me write about performance of the car.overall the car has great ride quality only thing is the engine lags a bit initially.but i guess most the diesel engines do.milage wise i get 18kms/l on highways and 14 kms/l in the city.the a/c is a bit sluggish when compared with swift.tata really needs to improve on the a/c. well i never test drove the vehicle before i really purchased it.well i have used the indigo tdi and just imagined that it is the same tdi engine which tata might have used for the vista. It has a great stability on highways even on speeds beyond 130 kms/hr.breaking is quite good, the car has much space when compared with swift or ritz.
The only technical problem which i m still facing is that the speedometer custer which was changed once after i used it for 3000 kms is still hang and the fuel guage doesn’t work.even when the tank is full it shows me reserve light. Tata dealers really need to improve on their customer satisfaction.i could say overall its a good product and value for money. May be my second car could be from tata .
