Hi friends

The good news is I got my car on 25th August. Sorry for non reporting/replying for almost one week, as I was out stationed 4-5 days. and there after bussy with too much work.

The Review:-

Overall buying experience was nice, Rathod Motors-Vapi-Gujarat had sticked to their commitments and prompty delivered the car. One day prior to delivery (24-08-09), I visited to showroom for PDI, The detailed write up on this forum helped me lot and I was quick & confident to check up the minute things, however I cannot found out any flaw in car. AC make is BHER, and to my surprise it worked superb in hot afternoon. The ODO was showing only 7Km. I took around 30min TD with family and no one from back seat complained about AC. The manufacturing month I decoded from chassis No. is Aug-09. I was accomponied by one of my friend who watched and suppourted me.

On the D day 25-08-09, I took a last look on car and the paper work completed in 1½ hr. The sales manager was attending me and he handed over keys with a small ceremony, photographs etc. Though ceremony was not up to my expectations, I appreciated their promptness. 

My wife and children performed a small pooja and distributed sweets to show room guys. There after my wife offered a small gift to the the sales girl. And now we were ready to take off.

As written earlier, I have valid driving license from last 10 years, but seldom driven cars. I had joined driving classes one month prior to car delivery and was practicing over MS Alto. I was little bit scared while starting driving. But as I moved ahead, gained the confidence. Was not taken professional driver/friend along, as I wanted to drive off my dream car from showroom by own. It was 30Km drive from showroom to my home almost 20Km on highway. Here I had all the praises for the CAR. Superb control, low noise, just glides over rough patches, superb comfort for driver and all occupants, clear drivers view. Big stance, great pick up and many more things. The music system is also decent and delivers soothing sound.

From the day of delivery I travelled aroud 500Km till time. Every early morning, myself and my wife are practicing for around 10-15Km. FE I can assume around 15Kmpl. This include our learners driving at lower gears/AC etc. The only thing which bothers while driving in city traffic is its KING SIZE. Today also I am little scared while taking it through tight spots. Any way, I am confident that I would be an expert driver soon by practice. VISTA IS REAL VFM

I really want to thank by heart to CARWALE forum, where I learned lot of things, taken decisions based on experts reviews, got accqented with the technologies in car engines, learned about maintenace issues.

THANKS TO CARWALE, now some body guide me to upload photos yaar.......

Congrats Amrut! Have a safe drive and Happy Motoring.

Do post some photos and keep us updated with your experiences and running reports of the new vista. For uploading photos, go to "My CarWale" page and create a new album after clicking the "My Photos" link. Once you have created the album, upload the photos under that album. The process is simple with user-friendly menus.

BTW got any freebies with the car and any cash discounts?

Congrats on your purchase Amrut.

Car looks great in red Smile. Could you pls provide pic of interior (seat covers)?

Also, did your chassis number have 9PH since you say it is August manufactured? Just curious since you got the delivery in August itself, I found it a bit surprising that you received an August manufactured car.

Yes Smarkrisk

It is 9PH & colour is Solar Orange it is different from Gala Red.

The coding look like this 61XXXX9PHXXXXX. Before purchace I enquired to TML reg, this matter and they stated that Vista QDJ is fast moving product hence one can get fresh lot.

Also please note that I booked the car well in advance that is on 11th Aug. And planned delivery date was 25th Aug. It reached to showroom on 23rd Aug. PDI was done on 24th and delivery on 25th.

I will soon upload more photos of interiors

Oh .. it looks almost red (maybe my laptop) Tongue out

Great - since you have confirmed this with TML! Also good to know that QJD is a fast moving car. I myself have booked Safire but had trouble getting even May manufactured vehicle.

Awaiting interior pics.

Your vista looks stunning!

Seems like the colour of the display in the audio system had been changed to blue. Earlier it was white.
