Ride & Handling, Steering - Tata Indica Vista QuadraJet road test

The Vista clearly offers best-in-class ride quality and has predictable and safe handling.

Ride & Handling, Steering

The Palio has lost top spot as far as ride quality is concerned. The Vista soaks up bumps like no other small car can. Potholes are dispatched with a thump, bad roads are a not-so-distant rumble, but the occupants of the cabin never really feel sharp bumps or expansion joints. If you increase speed on bad roads, it doesn’t cope with bumps as well as the Palio or Swift, but it is good nevertheless.

The Vista will corner well with predictable and safe handling. The body roll that is fairly evident in the picture is probably due to the size of the car and its height. If you want a car that handles, there are better options available in the market. Not too many cars can match the ride quality under normal conditions. The steering is nicely weighted with enough feel.
