i bought Tata Indigo LS in june 2004. I liked the car on road and it was coming in my budget. I upgraded from Maruti Zen to Tata Indigo. Except look, size and mileage (which is quite good - around 14-15 kmpl in city and 20 on highway with AC). Rest everything makes you feel like not buying any Tata vehicle. From the first service the car is going to Tata Authorised Service Centre (Nawab Motors, Noida). Car have lot of irritating noise (as if there is problem with shocker or suspension) which i kept on complaing for 2 year (i paid aprox.6000.00 to A-One motors for this work without any result). Standard reply from service guys - Sir, this noise is normal in Tata cars. I had to get my engine done on 54000km (first time in my 10 years of driving and changing 6 cars). Car was repaired twice at Nawab Motors for heating and at last they had re-done the engine which nobody would expect for a car which is driven single handedly and only 54000km.


Now i am planning to go in for Maruti again for their Swift Dzire but when i go to market for sale the price offered is only around Rs. 1,70,000.

    Dear Gentelman

    i have been driving cars for last 15 years and not only in India in Europe too. This is my 8 vehicle in last 15 years so please do not try to teach me how to drive. This car has a history a authorised service centre and it went there for three-four times for heating problem. For pollution check, please come to delhi and ask any pollution checking centre in delhi.

    About emission ... my indica diesel euro 3 is considered one of the cleanest diesels by the emission centre .. yours could be failing to comply with euro 3 norms as i guess its a euro 1 or 2 ..

    tata service is good .. i have been using the car for more than 3 years .. and now 6 services later i dont have too many complaints ..

    noise is an issue with the diesels .. and sometimes belt tightening is required ..

    to karans problem on not starting, get ur starter motor serviced .. it helps
