This is my First Review so please don't mind the mistakes.
I have been a member of MS from last 3 years but its my first as I feel like writing.
Most of the Bad reviews actually helped me buy this CAR
I got a XETA GLS about a Month back (7th OCT) from Auto Links DELHI (GOOD CAR BAD DEALER).
I had Hard Time of Paper Work (Mainly Because of TATA MF) and My Time Contrains the Buying Experience wasn't so good but no complaints as I got what I Wanted on my terms.
I even Had Starting Issues within 2 weeks.
The Review Might Seem Contradicting at times but there will always be a reason for that
Its GLS Grey Colour
Coming strait to the Point.
ODO Says -- 1200 KMS Done
First Service DONE
CONs
-- The car gets HOT and it mean really HOT Take this - I parked the car on a wet area on Road and I Actually SAW Water on the road Evaporating under the Engine and the Silencer Area ( It was 25 KM Drive Without AC).
-- As per some of the Review I haven't vitnessed the CABIN Heat
-- Baige Interior (Fabric Part) is GOOD Plastic BAAAD .its actually really soft (I have Seen/Drove I10 Its worst in that mentioning this bcause that was really a shock for a 4 LAC car).
-- Pick up With AC and DRIVE is SLOw ( One of the review Said it hosts 350 KG AC) .Beaves like a Bullock CART -yeah sometimes
-- This Is MY Feeling I think the BOOT might be Its DEEP but NARROW all 4 sides. BIG Thing Go Infront.
-- Its a Left HAND SIDE BLINDER for SURE ( Get those Rear Views for left Side at any Cost )
-- Rear View is Limited
CONS are MORE a Combination of Design and technical STUFF
PROs
-- It's been Said Hell Lot Times and thats the Biggest Thing you will SEE BIIIIIG ROOM Where Ever U SEE. Like u can play Foot Ball Inside it ;-).
-- I am a office Go-er not a busines per to load up stuff or PPL and my drive is 50% City 50 % highway This Car Speeds and Runs Like hell (Stricly W/O AC).
-- Mileage well due to My route its 13-14 KMPL with 60% AC in sonn it will increase due to winters and as the Service has been done ;-)
-- 65 horses with 1200 CC you will only know the meaning once you are fully loaded Single person drives is not a good Standerd.
-- I have Not Tested the SPEEDs YET but Max I been to 110 with A|C ZERO VIBERATION on the FIREWALL or Stearing GEAR YES OFFCOURCE ;-)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
If you are buying this and are a bit confused by some of the bad reviews listen to this
-- 350 KG A\c Means Cooling in Seconds
-- Heavy Sheet Metal Then at least Maruti or Hyundai
-- Heavy car Means the car is Pressed to the Road on high Speeds (May be you guys have Heard an 800 Took Off on 120+ SPEED on the DND Flyway Delhi)
-- Milage for Me Is Good 2 rules for that * Correct Tyre Pressure Stricly as the Company says. ** Change the gear to go up Everytime Tacho says 20000RPM (well you cannot go above 5 )
-- Some of the reviews Say the CAR feels hard to drive or its not a effortless drive
Well if you notice in maruti's and Hyundai's the controls are too soft if you are heavy footer half of the time you will not know that you are pushing the Cluch or Acclerator. The Padel controls in XETA are Stiff YES for reason THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH THE CONTROLS
-- None of the Minus Points will stops you from HAVING A GREAT DRIVE
-- The Engine has been toaned down to move this heavy car on mere 8000 RPM Learn to Use that in Traffic snarls
REMEMBER these to get the BEST of you small trucky ;-)
-- REMEMBER you are running 1200 CC Event Some Sedans dont have it and it is tonned down to give you better Milage
-- Remember the Sticker on the top Right of the Wind shield
-- Remember to turn off the AC on red lights
-- Remember that this is HIT CAR
-- Remember UNDER 3 LAKHS ITS A COMPROMISE IN ITSELF
I Strictly recommed this car OVER SANTRo Wagon R
OverAll Experiance
CAR -I Respect it and LOVE IT
TATA -GOOD
AUTO LINKS DELHI MEERA BAGH -BAD
TATA MF -Pethetic (They just didn't ask for my JANAMPATRI Otherwise they asked for Everything)
Remember THIS
CAR OR BIKE OR ANYTHING YOU DRIVE IS YOUR BEST PAL ON THE ROAD TREAT THEM GOOD THEY WILL TREAT YOU GOOD
THERE ARE HELL LOT OF THINGS that a 800 can DO which MERC or a Beemer cannot ( Or you will never Dare to )
SAFE DRIVING
