Best Hatchback on Indian Roads

 

I bought an Indica Vista Safire Aura BS4 (Black) recently and I am very happy with this car so far. The bold, aggressive and sexy styling had me smitten since a long time. And I keep liking the style and shape of this car more with every passing day.

This car is big and wide and therefore can boast about the most spacious and comfortable interiors. The Aura version that I bought recently has a driver seat which is Height Adjustable and gets 2-way adjustable Lumbar support and amazing thigh support. Makes city and highway driving experience just amazing. I got a sixspeaker sound system, power windows on all 4 doors, power steering which is tilt adjustable, center console with speedometer, 2 trip meters, 1 odo meter, digital clock, fuel guage, tachometer, temperature indicator, etc. The car has two power outlets for mobile charging, one on the center console and the other near the parcel tray. The storage space in the dash board is huge. You can keep an 11" laptop inside the dash with no problem at all. The plastic quality of this car is good & the dual tone beige interiors make it look roomy in the day light. It has an anti-glare interior rear view mirror which works just fine. A drawer under the co-driver seat that can hold three 1ltr bottles easily. The boot is spacious too. I guess two suitcases and 3 bags can be dumped easily.

The engine performs well in the city. Although the pick up in 2nd gear is a bit lazy. But no problem for people who like to take it easy. The petrol engine is giving me a mileage of 16-18 kmpl with AC and 18-20 kmpl without AC in the city (In Nagpur with moderate traffic). No kidding!! I wonder what would be it's mileage on the highway. The steering system is very light and controlable and the gear box is a little hard but has perfect throws and a grippy feelig to it.

Ride quality is nice. Suspensions are soft and easily smooth out all the rough patches on the road. At high speeds this car is very calm and the driver can be confident about his driving. Gripy fat 175/70 tyres are too good. The breaking is not very hard and not very soft. Just about perfect for this car.

This car is packed with features and is very economical. The car had cost me 4,60,000 and I sure have got a great value for my money.

I am longing to take my car out on the highway. Let's see what kind of perfomance I get there.
