      Exterior No problem at all, since my car is parked in the open with rains and sun beating on it, Kerala weather.  But everytime I wash it, it looks like new. Good paint job.  Panel gaps is a big, but so far water from rain has not gone inside the car or dicky.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I brought the VX Full option in Nov 2011, Very comfortable, it is because I have the full option version, the seats are fabric and good. I use the car for very long distances, some times driving 3500-4000 km at a stretch Kerala to Mumbai, Nasik. I sleep in the car at nights in the back, very comfortable. The plastics could be better though. But then when I pay Rs. 6.04 laks for this full option, I dont mind. Because other company cars with all the features which I have in my car will cost me more than 8 laks.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is top notch. No complaints whatsoever.  Now after almost 22 months it gives 18-19 with AC on all the time. Gear box is a problem sometimes, shift is not smooth. I think in the new one introduced in 2013 they have improved.  So far problem I faced is with alternator, it went out of service after 16 months. I think it is because I am continously using it, daily at least I start and stop 10-12 times.  It cost me 12,000. If I had taken extended warranty, I would have saved that money as it was free replacement. But I had not taken extended warranty. I recommend anyone buying any car to please take extended warranty. I made a mistake by saving 3000 on extended warranty and ended up paying 12,000. The silencer is becoming loose, I have to check it. Otherwise no problems.  In 22 months I have driven about 34,000 km. So value for money.

      Ride Quality & Handling Smooth, I drive most of the times on very bad roads, but it handles it well.  My friend has Toyota Etios also, and he also drives as much as I do, but he has faced more problems. So my conclusion is my Indigo is better. Etios is good for smooth roads not for bad.  Service is excellent in Thrissur, Kerala. No complaints at all. By the way service for all model cars in Kerala they have very good service. So everyone is equal there.

      Final Words Really value for money.

      Areas of improvement Panel gaps, they look awful. And plastic. But I know Tata will not improve, they are like government.

      Overall good for the price I paid for.Some mechanical problems-Alternator dead had to replace new one for 12,000, silencer loosening.

      Exterior The car looks very good from outside. ORVM are exelent when blinks on signals.  You don't believe that on middle of drive, many times people asked the price of my car and appriciated it.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiers are of ok quality. Plasics are fine but it gets scratches even in single harsh push. The scratches are seen in sunny day light specially in noon time. Power windows are better and having windows lock on middle front side under dash board. Steering is well built and easy to handle. 2 Cup Holders are in front dash board inside.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is bert in its class. Car takes 0-100 only in 12 secs with no extra load on engine. Car can touch 120-130 easily with 3,500 rpm(max is 6,000 rpm in this car) The car gives milage in city 17.5 and on highway, it gives 21-23 kmpl. Gear box is good and gear shift is very smooth. few vibration is felt on gear shift.

      Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good. driving 200 kms is not tiring. It gives pleasure with no noise when car reaches above 100km/h.

      Final Words I just like it as with better fuel average and more power in its segment(appox.5 lacs in sedan class).

      Areas of improvement Interier plastics should be better quality, shockers improvement should be there. Dash Board is same as old Indica.

      Good looking extiriersClutch pedal is too high

      Exterior Nice.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Just the interiors are not upto mark, lot of space including boot, very comfortable. A nice car to own.just Tata needs to market it well and improve interiors.Tata needs to make more aggressive marketing as this car is worth the money we pay.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Enginee performanace is good, Not much sound of engine while driving, smooth gear shifting, like butter.

      Ride Quality & Handling Worth a buy at the price , it is definetely a good car but as usual we are ready to spend more than 1.6 lac on  other cars like maruti, hoonda and huyndai with similar or less specifications. just a mental block with indians. tata has really done good. just need to improve interiors.

      Final Words Nice car at this price. really it is nice upto now

      Areas of improvement The quaility of plastic used is bad. It needs a lot of improvement. It would have been better had tata spend some money on better plastic quality.

      I'm from Sri Lanka and brought TATA indigo Ecs brand-new car on March 2016. This is the worst decision taken by me. I never recommend this to Sri Lankan as I have bad experience with this car. After 10000km, some sound came from steering wheel and after had oil leack. I put it to Dimo Lanka for check this. They have replace the Rackend. Now car has done 21000km. again same sound is hearing and not comfortable the car. It’s like going with cart.

      I inquired to Service station, they said car should be keep with them nearly 5 days or have to go for colombo one day service. I feel, Customer don't want to bother like this for brand new car. If the car has technical problem, service station must be give their high attention at least. They have utilize trainers for this and they are enjoying with car.

      I'm really disappointed and never recommend this at Sri Lanka.

      Not staisfyRack-end has changed before 12000km

      Exterior

      tata put much effort to compete in market. Class exterior with chrome designs. Gorgeous head lamp. compact sedan class. Spanish tan colour is beautiful. Aerodynamic design.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      Much driving comfort. Smooth steering. Five adult can accomodate comfortly. All five power windows. Dual tone with rich black combination very attractive. Fabric design on door.

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Powerful engine. No other car give such good mileage of 25kmpl. New F type gear shift is very smooth in city drive.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       You can expect much better ride quality compare to dezire, verito vibe or figo. Very smooth driving. Even in pune traffic, you dont get tired. 

      Final Words

       Please note, tata have made fruitfull effore with modifications. in just 6.4 lac you ll get such class sedan car with 25kmpl mileage and 75 ps, 1400cc engine. Interior and exterior is better.

      rather than to spend 8Lac for Dezire 23kmpl, 7.3lac for Swift-23kmpl, 6.8 lac for small figo 20kmpl, it is better to spend for Indigo ecs. Also having cheaper good quality spares and good service network. This is SWADESI car. TATA is Public company. Dont believe on the comment of other trained person of ford, hyundai, maruti.Maruti is good but they are in ego of sale and rising car cost much higher than average. Indigo is always better in terms of look, performance or cost.

      Areas of improvement  

       Tata Motors should improve in marketing

       

      exterior, dual tone interior, performance, less cost, cheaper spares, good service centersno

      Exterior Decent looking sedan with good ground clearance.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Extremely spacious; as far as I've seen most other cars in this category are at best cramped inside. Good comfortable seats for long rides as well as stop & go city traffic.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Decent fuel ecomony. I get an average of about 14kmpl (petrol) and mostly drive around in the city. Stop & go traffic causes economy to go down by at worst 2 kmpl in my observation.

      Pickup is decent however there is a lag and you have to downshift to reduce spooling time and get better response.

      Ride Quality & Handling Good firm handling at high speeds & stable in curves/bends. I have driven about 20 thou ks most of which has been on rough roads and still get the feeling of gliding on the road; well mostly.

      Final Words Worth every paise. Better looking on the outside and extremely spacious inside than most hatchbacks which I found are most often than not cramped and claustrophobic. A true family car.

      Areas of improvement Can improve by addition of safety features like airbags etc.

      Good fuel eco for petrol car, spacious & comfortableDashboard material appears a bit inferior but okay at this price range

      Exterior Good Length and finishing.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample space.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearshifting is hard.

      Ride Quality & Handling Satisfied.

      Areas of improvement Engine sound can be reduced. Gear shifting is hard. Blutooth and multimedia button should be on steering. We also didn’t like the non-linear feel of the steering and vagueness at the straight ahead position; dynamics on the whole are quite ordinary.Then there are the awkwardly positioned pedals that are uncomfortable to operate in stop-go traffic. low-speed ride is jiggly and the rear does feel somewhat bouncy at all times.

      There was a brake shudder during the Abu trip, which was rectified (wheel were balanced) during 3rd service. En-route ABU, the orange Engine check lamp came ON - I checked everything I could, the lamp just remained ON, without any change in engine running or performance - this got self rectified on the 3rd day. The dealer rep told me it was probably due to ingress of moisture in some sensor / fuel sensor. Believed him, maybe due to moisture in fuel - the HP bunks en route seemed shady. The problem has not re-occurred since (I fill only at IOC pumps in Delhi). I have tried at the BP COCO at Vasant Vihar too - the IOC ones give good mileage - can't explain why - maybe just a mindset ?

      Wheel base, Fuel Economy.Engine Sound , Gear Shifting is hard.
