Best diesel sedan in a price of Petrol sedan's from competators.

This is my first review.

I purchased Tata Indigo LX in May 08 and completed 2000 Kms by now. Due to some reasons I was not able to go for a long drive and hence this low milage covered in more than 4 months.

When I decided to go for a sedan, after some ground work and studying reviews on web sites and some Auto manuals, I had finalized three cars.Logan 1.6 Petrol, Dzire Vxi and Indigo LX. When price compared of all three cars,it was a diesel sedan I was getting in price of petrol Logan and Dzire. I was interested in diesel engine even if my running is less. Secondly, Indigo was more spacious than Dzire and Logan's petrol is not as popular than its diesel which is 1.5 Lakhs more than Indigo LX. So this how I selected Indigo LX.

Below are some of my observations in last 4 months:

Comfort: Very comfortable ride, spacious,very good leg room at rear even front seats are fully back.Smooth ride, no fear of looking for reducing speed at average potholes.

Performance: Good pick up at 1st gear. I observed some sluggishness in 2nd and 3rd gear. e.g.If I am in 4th gear with 60 Kmph and suddenly I apply brakes and then when try to resume in 3rd gear, it takes reasonable amont of time, same for 3rd to 2nd. I guess this might be due to TC not getting kicked below 2000 RPM or so.But one thing I have to admire, once the turbo is kicked, you feel the difference. No any effect on engine Power with AC ON. This help me lot because my earlier car was Alto and I have to switched OFF AC during overtaking.

Fuel comsumption: I am getting 13 Kmpl in city and 18 Kmpl on highways with 100% AC.

Issues till now: NO any issues.

One thing will like to mention, the pedal positions are very high and I was required to always keep my foot inclined which resulted in pains in my anchles after 300 kms non stop driving. This I had never experienced in my Alto.

I guess this what I experinced till now, will update it after 5000 kms.
