Great value for money

Exterior Excellent painiting for the new vehicles that is ecs, and ev2.  Rest of the indicas are only average with around 50-60000 tyre life and 3-4 years without any rust or major body work (other than test work).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well improved for the new cars and for the old ones, considering as a taxi vehicle the interiors are adequate, but when it comes to private segment the car lack its quality, poor plastics, switches, electricals, body rattlings etc.. Space and comfort are far far better than any car in this segment with ample leg space and adequate luggage space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Same thing.  The engine performs well in the ev2 and eCs dicors, but lacks horses in the old one.  ev2 and ecs have a decent mileage of around 20-23 kmpl on highways and 18-20 in city with aircon on. Power is pathetic with AC on in the old indicas, but comparable in the new ones.  Gearbox and shift is still a major problem with all TATA vehicles, most of the complaints are clutch and gearbox related.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent when compared to others in the segment.

Final Words Hi all, Im Prasanth from kerala.  We are operating a fleet of taxis in and out of kerala at a total of around 14 cars including 4 indica, 2 indica eV2, 2 indigo eCS, 2 xylo, 1 innova, 2 Logan, and 1 new tata venture.  Not a frequent visitor, but thought will write a review after readin Shesh's review.  I dont know why he is writing like this.  Is there any other car giving a mileage of around 20-23, with this much number of service stations coming with a price tag around  5 lakhs.  TATA has priced the vehicle in that range so that we can experience all the comfort of new gen cars.  Have you ever thought about spare parts prices, even for mahindra Verito, it cost around 2 to 3 times more for some parts than indica.  parts for tata vehicles are available in the open market and for others ???  I think the problem is with the service station guys, and I dont think all the service networks are like the same.  We are in touch with most of the service stations in tamilnadu, andhra, karnataka, and kerala and not experienced any difficulties regarding the care of the vehicle, actually all of them were excellent.  Do one thing, You can get the company's top official's number the service station itself and just write a mail to the right person.  If done in the proper channel, the service network people will come to you in no time and clear your problem.  Dont be upset, yaar.. Even the most reliable Innova was having complaints with braking from the first day we bought it.  Almost all the new cars will have some kind of problems during the first 3 services.

Areas of improvement Quality of plastics.  Electrical system is the main thing that needs improvement, I think it is substandard even in new vehicles.  Tata has evolved very much from what they had 2-3 years ago.
