Best car in a reasonable price

Exterior

Looks very aggressive car. Sharp looks and a new peatle head light integrated with indicators, and parking light and it has two saperate bulbs for high and low beam. this adds an upper hand on the maintainance. Side indicators are integrated with ORVMs which is a new thing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Dual tone dash board gives a new and peppy look to it. Now no boring black interiors. In space Indicas are famous. It has a huge space inside, Legroom, head room, boot, etc .... you name it. It has a innovative drawer under passenger seat where you can keep your bottels. Seats are Hight adjustable and front seats comes with lumber support to give the right posture for long drives. Aura is equipped with 2 din audio system with 4 door mount speakers and front 2 dashboard mounted speakers. 60:40 foldable seats. Engine immobilizer, 4 doors power windows all this in a great price.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is smooth. As far as I know DDiS engine used in SWIFT, Desire was the idea of Fiat. Fiat gave blue-Prints of this engine to Maruti, but Quardrajet engine is made by Fiat and handed it over to Tata motors where as Fiat is using the same engine named as Multijet in their cars. Its the same engine i.e. Quardrajet, DDiS, Multijet. These all endines are 1.3lts in capacity and they all had made their space in the motor industry in India as the most famous engines.

Due to this Indica Vista gives 20-22kmpl average on Highway and 16-17kmpl in city.

Since engine is made by Fiat hence gearbox is also refined and smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 smooth ride quality. I ran my car on some pot holes and I observed that, it handles it quite good. I am satisfied with its handling. It gives 20-21kmpl on Highway and 16-17kmpl in city ride. I had purchased my car on 2009

Myths - Diesel engines are for the people who drive their cars atleast 60KM per day is totally false. I drove my car after 2 months and I didn't had any problems. I always drive in city and rarely on highway. My average run is 5-6km per day.

Final Words

awesome car in a reasonable price range. I bought it for Rs.5.25lacs with leather seat covers, a perfume bottle, rto approved sun screen, rust proofing and 4 free teflon.
