Review of tata vista safire65 Aura

 

I owe this(Safire65) vehicle since sept 2009. My experience says that the average maintenance cost of this car comes out to be Rs 0.50/Km. Mileage on Highway Max- 22Kmpl, Min: -15kmpl with half A/c.ride for both extremes. In city- Max-15.5kmpl Min-13kmpl with Half way A/c ride.

Pros- Comfortable ride, spacious, make u feel driving a sedan, good grip on roads, FIRE engine.

Cons:- These are major problems that I faced within 2 years.

Car's all power windows console light goes off within 1& half year & one button comes out from power window's console, Rear wiper fails to work. Front wipers doesn't work on moderate speed. A gurrr Noise comes when it is in 3 or 4 th gear & it's speed is rising from 20 or 30 respectively. IT's Silencer droping some rusted liquid even when it is standing idle for more than 2-3 days.

Remedies provided by TASC :

1. For power windows console:- Since I brought to the notice of TASC after expiry of warranty(not covered in extended warranty) they told me that they will charge for the whole console(4 doors) that amounts to be Rs approx. 2k. However when I told them it is not working more than 3months before expiry date, on moral grounds they told me if there is minor defect and can be fixed without replacement then they will certainly do it otherwise I have to pay for the new console. So two door's power window's console lights are now working. TASC even fix one of the power window button that comes out while shutting of the window glass pane at no extra cost.

2. Rear Wiper is not available so can't help it now.

3. Front wipers were working afters the service even at moderate speed.

4. For gurr's noise they said that it remain with indica as due to some technical reason but need not worry about it. Nothing harmful.

5. Silencer is changed twice with no extra cost with a new one within warranty period.
