Tata Indica Vista [2012-2014] User Reviews

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I got repeated power window problems right from purchase of new vehicle. Heater plug is bothering me. I got it changed just 5 months back at concord showroom, hyderabad but again has same problem. Engine is sounding more in the 3rd year itself. I cant open 1 door from inside from 3rd year. When I ask about power windows they say that "you used them roughly". I cant understand one thing. I am a doctor. I am using AC even in winter in the car. I use power windows rarely. How can they get damaged. These idiots dont accept the poor quality they maintain.  Seats sounds like kir kir in the worst roads. When I complain about this to tata toll free number they does not give the feed back and they support service centres and not the customer. The important thing to notice is that they doesn't take complaint on tata. Then how can they improve the service to customers. O o god, why I have taken this vehicle.

Fiat engine. nice pickupVery hard clutch. power window & heater plug problems

Exterior Average looks, the car I recieved from autofin motors secunderabad had adhesive stains on the front headlights which the dealer could not remove. The headlight setting mechanism also has failed and headlights cannot be adjusted properly.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is the interior of the car which have been very poorly desiged and manufacture.

The list of interior defects is as follows-

1)Very flimsy rear parcel shelf

2)Seatbelts of poor quality,does not  retract properly

3)Weak armrests,poor quality power windows and switches.rear left window mechanism had to be replaced twice

4)rear door child lock keep engagng automatically

5)glovebox lock came off withi few days and could not be put back.

6)AC switches of weak and poor quality already failed and replaced.

7)front seat mountings are beginning to rust& come loose already

8)Rear hatch door struts had been replaced during warranty but failed soon thereafter

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1)engine is the only component where the quality has not been compromised.

2)The clutch set already had to be changed at about 40000 km.

3)The gear shift is very rough &does not engage smoothly after change of clutch also.

4)Mileage has been satisfactory at about 18-20 km on highway.

5)Self starter failture.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is very hard and there is failture of shock absorbers and bushing kits already.

Ther tire aspect ratio is also less and the wheel rims get damaged on hitting small potholes also.

Final Words Overall it can be seen that the build quality of most components is poor and seems to be designed to not last beyond the warranty period.and as such for an international manufacturer like tata motors who also ons jaguar and land rover,these kind of basic design flaws speaks very poorly of the design and engineering skills.

Areas of improvement Basically the design of the car is a good one but quality of almost everything needs to be improved. I have used other cars like Maruti 800, Omni, Santro, Palio, Siena, Indica, Innova, Bolero, etc but have not seen such poor quality in any modern vehicle.

Exterior

The car looks very stylish. i bought VX Quadrajet and the look is very good, specially with the back wiper. and at night with the fog lights in the front and rear, its the enxt best thing on the roads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors is worth the money i paid. may be a better finish will come at a higher price. it isnt too bad, so it doesnt worry me much. the driver seat is very comfortable. the electricaly adjjustable ERVM is very helpful when you're driving alone.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

engine power is very very good. have another manza at home, and compared to that even though the engine power is lesser, it feels more powerful. probably because its a smaller car. with the AC on, engine power drops slightly, if you're driving up hill, you may want to switch it off to get quick boosts of power. in the highway, AC or no AC makes hardly any difference. fuel efficiency is very very good. its 7000 kms old in 2.5 months with 2 services already over and it gives around 17 kmpl. hightest till date was 18.5 kmpl. might get better after 10000 kms.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is awesome. height adjustable drivers seat height adjustable steering, and lumbar support for the driver seat, cant ask for more. very smart to drive in traffic.

Final Words

 value for money. totally.

NANA

Very stable car . Good build quality , heavy steering wheel at low speed ,felt dead on center but rich from feel and feedback , quite stable at high speeds, interior could have done better , good features loaded with all basic features . Comfortable for long rides. Low maintenance and good fuel economy . Tata has really improved their passenger vehicle department and services are also improved a lot now people should buy made in India product unlike the shitty Suzuki which shows it originality on accident otherwise good cars.

Nice engine but clutch not worth, over all good by fiat Quadrajet happy to have this car.159000 k running still good. Pick up very nice central locking not a quality one. Tata will make now modified technology.

Drawbacks:

1. Uselless front deskboard space, so very less front seats space.

2. Very low decky space.

3. Third class company fitted tyres - run only 40,000 to 45,000 km.

4. water on front glass during wippers working get reflections from side borders of front glass because of deep glass, hardly can see in heavy rain and/or water splash from near by truck or car.

5. low quality rubber gaskets on doors.

6. When driving in reverse gear one should hang out side the window, side windows are very high.

7. poor interiors.

8. mileage is from 16 to 19 km. depends on:

(1) no of persons.

(2) AC working and which season running.

(3) how much time past from last service.

(4) Air pressure.

(5) Maximum speed limit.

(6) how frequent braking and changing of gears.

Difficulties after purchase:

1 tyres immediately goes bad after 40,000 km.

2. clutch and pressure plates needs to be replaced at every 70,000 km.

3. Noise gets enlarged after 3,000 km of car gets serviced.

4. Suspension does problem at every 90,000 km.

5. Center key lock wear out at every 60,000 km.

6. All the bearings of alternator, AC, Idlers, Auto tesioner etc wear out and get jammed and needs to be replaced after every 1,00,000 km. & if jammed it may worsen the situation by braking other parts.

7. AC blower motor needs to be replaced at every 70,000 to 80,000 km.

8. Alternator, Auto tesioner, idler needs to overhauling and repair or replacement at every 90,000 km.

9. AC compressor need overhauling and repair at every 1,00,0000 km.

8. Power window starts working problamatic after 20,000 km and it needs service at every 20,000 km.

9. doors get loose and creates noise in closing operation after 80,000 km.

9. After all this company dealers and service centers get disinterested in performance and condition of your car, I have feeling that according to their internal policy they try to push your car towards other low grade authorized dealers and authorized repair and service garages.

10. company authorized service centers do very less before 1,00,000 km for you, when you actually need them they hands up.

like some doctors, when patient really needs 24x7 care they advice you to admit you to bigger hospital & when you are little ill they advice you to admit in his own hospital.

11. They only take feedback of their service but never act on it.

12. You can not get parts you needed from other sources, for that you have to give your car to the service centers only.

13. Most of all service centers do not keep parts that you wanted. they only keep parts that you don't. And they take 4 to 5 days for part become available to them by Tata Motors and they take other 3 to 5 days for repair.

For Any further real feedback kindly contact me.

Indian makeGiven in detail as under

This car is to be considered as a premium hatchback even though priced in the mid hatch segment. The interiors give a feeling of a luxury segment car and very appealing. The car is loaded with features.

Very sturdy car, with a noiseless engine!!! The Tatas have taken extreme care in increasing the passenger comfort and safety.

Extremely spacious compared to the other vehicles in the segmentLooks similar to Indica from rear
