Good Value for Money car

 

Exterior Though it looks dated compared to other new cars, still it can compete with.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is very good. lot of space in its class.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is very good. I got 18kmpl in highway and 12kmpl in city. Pick up is sluggish in city traffic with five adults. Pick up is less compared to the cars of its class. Need to increase the engine RPM upto 1500, if one has to move in 2nd gear from standstill.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is good.

 

Final Words If you want a spacious car with fuel efficiency and value for money car, then go for Vista saffire.

 

Areas of improvement I bought the Indica Vista Aqua BS4 on october 28th 2010. Tata engineers should look at the following.

1. Over all weight: Reducing the overall weight of the car in order to increase the performance of the car. 65ps of power is not sufficient compared to its weight. If they reduce the overall car weight without compromising other required parameters, nobody would come closer to the performance of the car and its fuel efficiency.

2. Fit and finish of the body: The panel gaps in the body is not equal at all points, some places it is less and some places it is very much noticable. Some vibration sound started coming out somewhere from the bonnet after running of 1000kms. Yet to show it to dealer. Gaps in the wind screen glass is more.

3. Paint quality: I am really disappointed with the paint quality of the car. One place inside the car was marked for poor paint quality,  I think the marking was done by factory QA personnel, but even then car got assembled and got out of the company and delivered to me without being corrected. There are also three spots where the colour has lost its identity, there are flaws in the paint, exposing white inner coat. unfortunately I could notice it only after two months. Yet to show it to dealer.
