It is about TATA INDICA DLG BSIII which I purchased in 2004 April.
The car is really wonderful on highways with excellent stability ,vibration free inner environment and comfortable seating for 3 adults in the back. In a given situation 6 adults can sit with some adjustments ,though little uncomfortably. With AC switched on for 1300 km run to Shirdi at 42 degree temp it gave me an average of 19.5 km per litre diesel. What more you want for Rs.4,43,000 on road price with music system.
I touched only up to 120 kmph some times and 110 kmph very often on high ways ; while driving you feel that the car is heavy and clutching on to the road with great grip. This is the reason Maruthi's and santros immediately give way to you when you give horn. Overtaking buses, trucks is not very difficult even with this low bhp of 53.5 ! You will run behind with same speed as bus or truck and when you get your way on small roads ,you downshift to 4th and overtake with ease and comfort. no problem.
In city driving Indica is much easier because of high torque , I think. I never had performance problem except in peak summers when AC is on.But once the car is cooled by AC strangely Indica goes very well even in the city.Without AC however it is a real wonderful vehicle in city drive or in highway.
I advice people to take Indica turbo with 62 bhp which is equalant to Palio in performance. But much better vehicle would be turbo DLG or DLX because they have 68 bhp , which shall be far better !

    I absolutely agree with the review. I also own one indica dls and it has given me wonderful service for the last 2.5 years with excellent pickup and good overall stability and comfort. The average in the city is 18 kmpl and on highway between 21-22kmpl.
