Hi,
This car was not at all my dream car! I was definitely wanted a car with more boot space and comforts on long drives. So the goal was to get a sedan! I searched almost all cars in this range and found enough luggage space plus leg space and most of the accessories (may not be all) no one was offering all at one. Ultimately decided to go for Indigo GLX. I was told by dealers if your avg. daily running is not 40 KM don?t go for Diesel version.
I bought Indigo GLX with artic Silver color on 11th Feb 2004. On 14th Feb I went for a drive around 400 KM, completed in 1.5 days. Till date (in 9 months) I drove almost 10, 000 KM (due for 2nd service) avg. 1000 KM/Month and I never faced any problem. I drove from Pune to Nagpur (in the month of May 2004) overnight non stop. This distance I covered in 14 hours which is almost with a speed of Volvo Buses!! I started from Pune @ 8pm and I was at Amravati (Nagpur is 155KM from this city) @ 7.30am. From Amravati it took 2.25 hours to reach Nagpur.
My observations ?
Very comfortable in long drives as well as in city driving
Steady on roads even with high speed
fuel efficiency ? I recorded in all the long drives average which came as 13 KMPL with all the time AC ON
Comfortable both for driver and other passengers. Good height and seat alignment
Head light alignment was not proper which I did after one long drive
Even on bad roads no noise or shaking observed
It?s a real fun driving Indigo!!!
