Indica XETA - so far so good...

Kms clocked:     3000+ Kms till date (only in City)

Version:               GLG

Purchase Experience
Very Bad - TATA Dealers have earned an enviable reputation of not being friendly with their customers & they work overtime to retain the reputation. I’ve had my share of woes, whereby I was EDUCATED that CNG fitment is approved by TATA Motors and my warranty shall remain valid along with the warranty of Vehicle. I learnt, after my purchases that CNG for 1.2 L XETA has not even been approved by Delhi Transport Authority leave alone the TATA Motors warranty.

However, TATA Motors claims that this shall soon be sorted out & they are leaving no stone unturned to give their Customers CNG fitment facility (I’m not sure how many stones remain and whats the time-frame for turning all stones on right direction)

Initial Cost of Ownership:
Excellent - which other company shall give you Car @ 3.23 Lacs on road in Delhi (including extended warranty, Road Tax, Insurance, Parking Charges and all other expenses with mud cover and floor mats for free)– given discount of Rs. 23,000/-with Power Steering, Front Power Windows, Central Lock, Rear defogger, bumper painted body etc. Whole lot of goodies at great price.

Interiors & Comfort
Great – simply super, lots of space and beige colour interiors gives you feel of a BIG car, which is unmatched in this segment. Dashboard looks refreshing and boasts of better finish that ever before. Seating is perfect especially for long drives; you’ll never get tired feeling of driving this Car on long routes. Not to mention the freebies like Central Locking, Power Steering, Front power windows, rear defogger, Air Conditioner + Heater, body coloured bumpers etc. that comes along with this Version of Car.

However, there is a let down on the storage space aspect in the Vehicle, only on this account, the Car looks unpractical.

Ride & Performance

Simply superb - Indica Xeta  is the answer to Delhi governments answer to mismanagement on roads including bad flexible roads,  potholes. She works like magic even in the traffic ridden Delhi with ease and have answers to all the problems that you might have driving on such roads. The ride is great with a few exceptions that Car drags a bit on lower speeds and often threatens to give you a rough feel, though it becomes more than perfect when driven on 30+ speeds.

Mileage with AC has been variable from lows of 11.2 to 12.5 Kmpl in City, which is pretty acceptable to me as an individual.

Comparisons

I have owned Maruti 800 / Alto 1.1 / Santro Xing but this Vehicle is in different class of its own and by all stretch of imagination, this one wins THUMBS UP…

Overall

Go buy it…hope u find better dealer that Autoli
