    DRIVING:

    Hi all wise Indica users,

    Xeta GLG 1.2 is my first car. I purchased it in Jan 2008 & till date covered 16000+ Kms. When I decided to go for this car, everyone including my family members laughed at me & said you are going to buy a TAXI.....?  But I was quite firm on my decision as I took it after detailed market research. No other car in India is offering so much features at such a lower price. My first year with Indica Xeta is a superb experience in all respect. I drove this car right from Express Highways to rough roads in Kokan region & I find the car prooved to the best in all conditions. My observations & comments on various aspects are as below :

    Engine Performance :- Quite smooth petrol engine. No vibrations, noise inside cabin. Low pickup when AC on, but you can not expect more with 1198 CC engine better than this.

    Comfort :- Excellent. Quite spacoius from inside. 5 adults can sit easily. All my family members are 6 feet tall. But no issue even at rear seat with 3 people.

    Interior Plasics :- Could have done better. ok ok quality. Try to use dashboard cover from day one to avoid scratches, dull finish of dashboard.

    Ride Quality :- Excellent. I fitted Michelin Tubeless tyres on my Indica on the very first day which has improved ride quality & road grip

    Fuel Economy :- 15-16 kmpl in City with 80% AC on. 19-20 Kmpl on highways with 90% AC on. Indica Engine well designed & manufactured. But our driving habits are also having big impact on FE. I must say I am following all good driving habits.

    Maintenance :- Till date no breakdown maintenance for any reason. But time to time servicings are very important. Weekly checks for engine oil level, coolent level, break & power steering fluids are very important. They are very easy to perform.

    Overall :- I am quite satisfied with My Indica so far. The only problem with TATA is the consistency in Quality. Some of the owners are having very bad experince with TATAs & some of them are extremely satisfied.

    This car is best among all the cars of the same hatchback segment. This is really value for money......

    One very important thing we should not forget is every vehicle is a Machine. If we care about them they will take care of us. Our maintenence practises, driving & vehicle usage habits plays very important role in the life cycle of any vehicle.
