4right choice baby

Dear All,

Selection criteria

I wanted a vehicle which is safe, City plus occasational highway driving, highway stability, economical to run and maintain, has good build quality and at reasonable price. Vista and Maza fitted the bill in all respects. Although could have easily afforded Manza, ultimately selected Vista Quadrajet Aqua as Vista is suitable for Pune and Mumbai's congested roads and parking problems. Maruti vehicles were ruled out as none of the their vehicles including Ritz, A star are as spacious as Vista or Marza. Space to me is to comfortably sit 3 adults at rear seats and legs not touching front seats. The Swift and D sire was ruled out as not good looking according to my perception. Ford figo was also tried but somehow it did not appeal to me from any angle. In test driven vehicles the shock absobers felt too soft. i20, Polo, Fabia etc. were ruled out because of price. Normally most foreign companies are least bothered about fuel economy and issues faced by third world countries.

D Day: Yestyeday took the delivery of vehicle. It took 10 days for complete process at on road price of 5.26 lakhs at Pune. (Free insurance by company). Driven about 70km. My brother who is expert in driving has appreciated the driving quality. I earlier owned Maruti 800 and felt much secured and cofortable in vista now. Pick up very good with absolutely no vibrations.

Negatives experiences: There was no BS4 sticker on the vehicles, however it is confirmed from Road worthyness certificate that it is BS 4 compliant. All Nano cars have this sticker. Probably they must have forgot to put it.

The build quality is solid however it is still 'unnis bees' ( A typical term for products which are slighly imperfect).

Inside: I did not find any issue with with plastic quality.

Engine: The main tilting factor towards this vehicle is its engine.
It is world famous Fiat engine. Fiat has sold over 4 million such engines world wide.
Manza, Ritz, swift, Dsire diesel, SX4 diesel all have this engine.
