The Vista QuadraJet has, without doubt, what it takes to be a bestseller in its segment.
Cost
For Rs 5 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) you get an amazing amount of car for the money. This has been the Indica’s USP, and we’re glad it has been retained. If you compare pricing with the competition, you’ll find that you’re getting a lot more car per rupee. We doubt anyone will be able to do this as well as Tata can – they have an Indica variant at so many price points!
Overall Evaluation
The old Indica has been many things to many people – a first car for college-goers, a family car for those on a budget, even a taxicab for the people-movers. The Vista takes the Indica brand a notch higher but retains the qualities that made the Indica such a favorite with the masses – good value for money, fuel efficiency, cheap spares and a wide after-sales network.
The old Indica had teething problems, but Tata has tested the Vista to eliminate the little issues that used to crop up over time. They’ve put their money where their mouth is with a 75000km/2-year warranty that can be extended by two more years. Says volumes about the manufacturer’s confidence in the product, doesn’t it?
