Tata Indica V2 [2006-2013] User Reviews

My first new vehicle. INDICA DLG TC - Took delivery 15-Dec-2006. In the initial exploring stage, on the internet, I gauged that several service related issues/complaints existed on this vehicle. However, I learnt that backdoors, TATA has been working on the INDICA and I took the decision when my local garagewallah told me that the Turbo Diesel INDICA was a good choice. With a city running of almost 70 Kms daily, I think I have a winner on hands. Even compared to my old ESTEEM, I find the ride quality better, seating position more comfortable and the vehicle extremely responsive, where it matters. I did not find anything wrong with the gears or ride quality, however, the initial drag is something that you have to get accustomed to, if you are used to petrol cars. There is more than enough power and any discomfort in bumper traffic (as some people have put it) is just a matter of getting used to the vehicle. I am extremely happy with the interiors too as well as the hvac airconditioner. Some minor issues have come up like a problem with the glass movement in one of the power windows and a vibration sound at the rear (after I put the seat covers) probably because of the rear seat lock lever, but these are inherent issues with any new car and should be sorted out soon. Yes, there is a problem with service quality, however I have gauged this only from the initial response given by service staff from where i purchased the vehicle. TATA Motors may think of bringing out some radical changes in their service quality/personnel (mostly with the dealer network).Most practical choice for people looking for overall economyNothing that makes me worried, so far.
