I bought Indica vista quadrajet in mar 2011 from prerana motors, labagh road, bangalore for Rs 5.4 lakhs..!! Its my first car.. I was planning to buy TATA Safari, but before investing 10 lakhs on it I thought to strengthen my confidence by buy a TATA product. till date, I have driven it for 9000 kms @ 40 Kms per day..!!
Mileage: I feel it is giving quite close to 16Kmpl Without AC.
Biggest turn on is the space and comfort..!!.. It is far better than any other car of the segment..!!
Engine noise is pretty low and pick and power seen to be excellent..!!.. The car reaches 80Kmph in no tym in 4 gear..!!.. Gearbox is smooth and seems to optimally designed for the city driving conditions. The handling is quite smooth but the clutch is a bit hard.. My service counsellor at Prerana Notorrs, Peenya told dat the issue is common to all Fiat & TATA cars with similar configuration. right now m having ceratain issues with noise from front suspension and heating up of the plastic panel near the foot pedal. I need to get it sorted out.
The issue with the car is the plastic & rubber quality used by TATA. bt then I dont mind as long as Im not stuck with the performance..!!
I completed my 2nd service. Just paid Rs 300 all total for both services. M now due for third service.
Overall the car can be rated at 8 out of 10. I love my car. I recommend it for the middle class and salaried class people. Now I think I can go ahead for TATA safari without any second thought next year keeping in view the confidence I have gained on prodcuts by TATA Motors.
