This is my second review on Xeta GVG and it's been more than two years I have been using this car.There are so many things to portray about this small beauty and I can write an endless review about my little monster but let me pen down some important ones which will be useful for all the Xeta lovers.Here I go:
1.Two years back I was looking for a small/midsize car within 4lacs and I almost zeroed down to Alto and about to give the advance amount to book this car.The same day one of my friend who later termed as “Angel” suggested me to evaluate Indica Xeta.I went to Concorde Motors and test drove one and what to say it completely changed my opinion about Tata vehicles(They can only make trucks).I cancelled my plan of going for Alto and immediately booked Xeta-GVG’1.2L engine(Black) with a waiting period of almost a month(Because of Black colour).The key things which dragged me to book this car were:
a.Space inside the car.(As my height is 6.2").
b.Two toned beige interiors.
c.1.2lt engine which is quite powerful in it's segment.
d.Discount I got at the time of booking along with other goodies.
e.On-road price of the car.
f.Easy finance from TMFL(Tata Motors Finance Ltd.) with approval in flat 7 days.
2.Now about the driving experience I would say this car is the best hatchback in it’s class.Manual Power steering is good(If not better), Brakes are pretty effective, and of course how can I forget the powerful AC with HVAC(Optional) which is just awesome.Though people often compare this with Santro and Swift’s AC but let me tell you they are way behind as far as cooling is concerned.It has double blower which none of the cars in this segment have and it cools the entire cabin pretty fast and often I switch off the AC while driving.Yes pickup does go down in AC but this holds good for all the cars in this segment.
3.My car has clocked 15500Kms in 2 years and believe me I have not spent even a single penny till date on it(Except for OIL change, Washing and Bumper painting once).
4.Few modifications which I think can be incorporated in future models are:
a.Better Plastic quality(Dash board and door trims).
b.Better Exterior paint quality.
c.Visibility from driver’s seat.
d.Little bit more Boot space.
e.Factory fitted Alloy wheels with Tubeless tyres.
f.Provision for 2Din Music System.
f.Better service personnel.
Just to sum it up I can only say this car can fit into any middle class family with aspiration of owning a car at an affordable price.According to me ”Tata Rocks”.
