Tata Indica DLG Turbo V2

We bought one in April 2006 for my parents.

Good space.Great in the city.Decent on the highway. Economical. Comfortable.

Turbo Lag in second gear is a PAIN. The car cries when you go over a speed breaker and it takes quite a while to build up revs after you slow down and shift down to second.

I am wondering how it will feel, if one is negotiating the hairpin bends on the Sigur Ghats on the way to Ooty.

Tata AFTER SALES Service needs a swift kick in the rear end! This car came to us with a constant fan belt/ AC Belt squeaky noise. Despite many attempts to get rid of it, it continues. The latest thing to conk out is the rear door central locking mechanism forcing one to stick a hand out and open the door from outside.

Build quality is not fantastic and the tyres are too small and tiny despite the 14 inch rims!

This car however is great value to use and is very nice and easy to park etc in crowded cities, while still being very spacious, even at the rear seats.

I am wondering about the re-sale value though.
