PETROL TATA INDICA XETA 2008 MODEL - ROCKS

I purchaced GLX (PETROL) 1.4 Litre model in April 2008. Writing review after 4.5 years. To help understand those people who dont take a test ride in TATA car before buying in any Segment. 

The only regret on buying this car is: I purchaced CNG kit worth 55000 from Company. And it didnt work, and my money was wasted. I removed the tank from the boot and now happy to ride only on petrol as my luggage space available for use.

Its Fuel economy is lower than small size maruti cars. 13 kmpl over all city+highways

Price: 3.6 lakhs on road for the top model. with 1.4 liter petrol engine.

Exteriors Descent Looks. The colors do not fade even after 4.5 years. 

Interior Very very comfortable seats(front and rear) / leg room as compared to : Swift/Santro/i10/ford icon/wagonR. Dashboard has concave shape so nothing falls off from it, which is not there in the vista model ! People owning honda city/ ford icon have praized the comfortable sitting of XETA.

Engine Performance 78000 km down the line, no issues with engine. Very strong on Up hill. AC very powerful. No lagging with AC on. The engine never heatens up. Gear shift very smooth. Decent pick up in 2/3/4 gears  and Can compete with Vista/swift on highways easily.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth Power Steering.

Final Words Though these models and Engines are obsolate, the cars made by tatas are worth looking in before buying other brand.

Areas of improvement Looks.
