I purchased a Tata Indigo LX during May 2003 and have been very happy with the overall performance of the car.
What I like : High ground clearance (particularly since I had a Fiat Uno earlier), steering / maneuverability, ride quality especially on bad roads, ample cabin and boot space, good NVH characteristics, very good AC and .. excellent fuel efficiency. Have been getting 14 to 15 kmpl under city conditions, with AC, much better than I expected.
What I dont like : Pickup is sluggish, particularly in 2nd gear. One has to develop slightly different technique for gear changing, as compared to a petrol engine, else the engine rpm drops rapidly. Needs a fairly heavy foot on the throttle !
Would have liked a rear windscreen wiper.
Good family car, very good choice for a chauffer driven vehicle, considering the very comfortable back seats.
Not the choice for youngsters who want the pep and zip.
