After an elaborate look around with the available options(Maruti Swift new model, Skoda Fabia, Ford Figo Titanium Diesel etc) in this segment at Bangalore, my eyes finally caught and hooked on the Tata Indica Vista Quadrajet VX(Diesel) model with ABS. When compared to the Maruti Swift new model, it was ready available with Prerana Motors, Lalbagh Road, Bangalore(Tel 400 111 11) whose marketing team(especially Mr. Vinay B / Executive Sales and Ms. Deepa S / Dy Manager Sales- who served me), I rate well in this deal.
Two reasons I opted out of Maruti Swift new model was the long waiting period they projected(4 months!)(which according to me is a created one by pre-release of the new model before reaching sufficient stock in sales outlets) and also lack of leg space for rear passenger.
The car given for test drive performed well eventhough it was a lower model and had already been on the road for some kilometers. It motivated me further to go in for the new model with added features and ABS.
The processing and delivery procedures were smooth and the team delivered the vehicle as they promised and on to the Bangalore traffic on a working day evening with heavy rain, I found it, really enjoyable to drive on with friends and family. The gear shifts was smooth and we took an extended drive in the city and suburb to get a feel of it.
I wish TATA had kept a better horn and that was the only drawback and thoughts at that point of time.
Options I liked: - Fog lamps, good quality and provides adequate lighting. Tilt option for steering. Steering mount controls for audio. Multi speed option for wipers and different intensity lighting for head lamps. Extra Charger connectivity option at the rear, which is a utility option. Clearly visible speedometer console unit. I also liked the feature which restricts the engine to start without pressing the clutch. This provides additional safety in case children turns the switch on in gear and may result in an accident, which is now not possible. If the front wiper is on, and the car is put in reverse gear the rear wiper will work automatically to give a clear view behind. Space inside is excellent and comfortable for front and rear passengers, of height and size.
Pricing according to me is competitive and affordable for normal Indian families who could own a reliable product with service outlet anywhere in India and with a car with many of the modern features. As there is no limit to expectations one can have, TATA has delivered a good product this time.
I rate the car as well as the dealer and marketing team at this point of time for the service and performance.
