Tata Indica Vista [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Great looking design, Sedan style look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Matching plastics and large interior space gives a feeling of riding a Sedan car. The Music system matches with the interior colours and gives a rich look. The dashboard at center is nice.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Drove 1300 kms so far in a month's time. Getting 15kmpl in Hyderabad city traffic and 18kmpl on highways with AC. Done with first servicing, hoping to see the improvement to 18kmpl atleast in the city traffic. The pickup is very good even on steep roads with 5 adults and 2 kids. Gearbox is feeling good after first servicing.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good suspension, won't feel any discomfort even for 4 hrs of continuous drive. The Lambar support on driver's seat is nice.

Final Words Great car with wonderful features compared to other cars in that segment.

Areas of improvement Boot Space can be improved similar to FIAT Punto Grande.

I Am Proud Owner Of TATA Vista VX & Writing this review after 7000 Kms.

When I was in Market for Buying my 2nd Family Car i search many Hactbacks..But Vista Fullfiled my all Expectations. My main Priority was Spacious Seats.& immediately First name Came in mind THAT was TATA.  TATA is always Known For Spacious, Value for Money & Feature Rich Cars. When I drove Swift(its Cramped), Punto(looks Beautiful But Not Spacious & Flop).VW Polo(Expensive & No Features) Vista(Powerfull, Nice Height To Easy In -Go, Highway Crusing Ability, Feature Rich) Finally i choose Vista VX.

Exterior Vista VX looks very Beautiful from outside. especially crome lining on Door & Crome Grill looks very stunning. Double Headlights are Very Powerfuull. Night Driving is Very Nice. Crome strip on fog Lamps Shows its Rich looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dual tone Dashboard looks very Nice. When you enter inside you feels like you are sitting in Big Car. Beige Interious gives Big sedan feel. Rear Seat is Very Comfortable. Really its Made For Healthy Indians. Rear Seat is Broad So aacomodate 3-4 Persons Easily.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is very Adequate.Vista Touches 100kmph easily in 3rd  gear. Pick up is very good. My Vista Easily Overtakes SUV on the Highway. I gets Fuel Economy Overall 19KM/L. Its good With AC On. On Highway I got 22+KMPL with AC on. Gear Box is Precise & easy To Shift.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is Good.No Vibrations at High speeds.... never Feels Out Of Control above Speed of 150.

Final Words True Indias Car. If you want Spacoius, Powerfull(D90),Feature Rich, Value for Money Family Car,Then you Dont Have Other Option@ this Price.

Areas of improvement Tata Should advertise Vista Positively. Still When peoples hear Name-Indica They feel like its Taxi.so TATA Should Remove Indica Name & Use Only 'Vista'😄.  TATA Should Provide Cubbyholes On dashboard for Stuffs.

But only vista vx quadrajet 75ps mileage good Engine gearbox staring box good space and comfortable light good but company telling 22 average but only without ac average 18 only car give me 18 so you go non acc give average if any abs good look is value for money.

Exterior AT A GLANCE U WILL DEFINATELY FALL IN LOVE THE HATCHBACK, BUT FROM REAR SOME MORE THINGS ARE THERE TO DO TO ENHANCE THE PRODUCT VALUE. OVERALL THE LOOKS ARE VERY ATTACTIVE AND CATCHY TOO. OWNERS PRIDE AND NEIGHBOURS ENVY. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I HAD TEST DRIVED AND GET SEATED IN FRONT AND REAR SEATS OF ALMOST ALL THE CARS. THE BEST WERE I20, FABIA, RITZ, SWIFT, FIGO, PUNTO BUT I PREFERED VISTA AMONG ALL OF THEM. IT PROVIDES A LOTS OF SPACE AND COMFORT. IN FABIA TOO ALL THE THINGS WERE THERE BUT I DOUBT ON THERE PRESENCE IN INDIAN MARKET IN COMING 4-5 YEARS, AS LOW VOLUMES ARE THERE ON ROAD.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox VISTA, SWIFT AND RITZ ALL GOT THE SAME FIAT ENGINE. BUT TO GET RITZ AND SWIFT I HAVE TOO WAIT FOR ATLEAST FOR SIX MONTHS FOR SWIFT AND ONE AND HALF MONTHS FOR RITZ. SO I PREFERED VISTA AS OF SAME ENGINE AND MILEAGE.  IN CITY I M GETTING 17 KMPL IN DELHI. THE GEARBOX IS SMOOTH. I HAD DRIVEN IT FOR ALMOST 500 KMS ONLY AND I M FULLY SATISFIED WITH MY CHOICE.

Ride Quality & Handling VERY EASY AND RIDE QUALITY VERY SMOOTH AS MCPHERSUN STRUT ARE THERE IN FOR SMOOTHNESS ON POTHOLES AND POWER STEARING WITH TILT ADJUSTMENT FOR BETTER HANDLING. THE THING I  FOUND IN SWIFT WAS THAT WHILE IN BACK GEAR I WAS NOT ABLE TO JUDGE THE VEHICLE BUT HERE IN VISTA ALL IS WELL.

Final Words IT VALUE FOR MONEY BUT ONLY PICTURE IN MIND IS OF TAXI IMAGE OF VEHICLE BASICALLY NAME INDICA IS IT POSSIBLE TO MARKET THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER BRAND NAME OR VISTA ONLY.

Areas of improvement NA.

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.

Areas of improvement  

Exterior

Styling is very cleaverly done , its good and as well as it manages to liberate spce very well.I like the manza like front grill with the triple barrel headlamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Speedometer could have been shifted behind the steering,otherwise it is well placed and it looks sophisticated.The audio is good to use and has good sound quality , the bluetooth connectivity is very useful.the controls on the streeing for audio and phone are very easy to use.

Even 5 people can sit in good comfort without lapping each other's shoulder.Ride quality is good even on bad roads.It takes all bad roads very easily in its stride and high speeds the rear tend to bounce a little if sudden undultations are present on the road.Boot space is ok but not enough,it has to be improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Performance is really excellent and it does speeds even above 130kph very easily and will return 15-17kpl at those speeds.Overtaking is a breeze , it thrusts so easily at speeds above 100 while overataking even without changing gears.If driven carefully at speeds of 90-110kph it will give around 19-21kpl.Best mileage i got was 22 and odd.Gearbox can still be smoother in tis throw otherwise its good to use.It can be driven like an automatic in 3 or 4 th gear in city speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is so good that we wont know any shakea or bumps.we will feel only if it runs slowly over sharp bumps,i even never mind to put my car side of the roads in sand to overtake at traffic conditions in slow speeds.Handling is good but not so sharp at high speeds but only speed enthusiasts will mind about it . If you want to travel peacefully without involving to much in drving during long highway drives it is so good.At city speeds it is good to use but feels slightly on heavier side with constant feedback which is good as speed increases.

Final Words

 Nice family hatchback which is proven compared to swift or the overpriced i20.Its comfortable and spacious than both of them and gives good fuel economy too,with equal performance to keep up with other bigger cars on highway.

Areas of improvement  

Boot space can be improved compared to the polo or i20 its small.

Exterior

 Exterior looks of this car, depends on person to person.For me, its really great to hv a look at VX quadrajet. Wonderful chrome lining all around the car and door handles too. Rear pearl black part just below the rear glass looks awesome.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior not doubt is carrying INDICA platform of a big spacious car. Driving any indica will never let you feel comfortable in any other car of same segment with the space. I am 5.10, and I usually drive d car with my seat adjusted as backward as i can and believe me there's no big deal in seating on the rear seat even after this much of adjustment with front seat. Features are really very good. Bluetooth connectivity, electric ORV, steering mounted audio controls, small LEDs on all 4 power window switch to let u find it very easily even in nights, anti glare rear view mirror, rain sensing rear wiper, rear de-fogger.....very cometitive price with full of bag features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine sound and feel is very much smooth if u compare it with its older sisters.Fuel economy is good enough to make u feel free for fuel price. I hv completed 15000 kms and I am getting a handsome economy of 20kmpl (with AC).Though the sales person claim the same to be 22kmpl.Bt my fight is ON with them to get it tht much if they are committing. Bt even then 20kmpl is also not bad if u compare it with swift of ritz which gives you 17~18kmpl with AC.

Ride Quality & Handling

 This price tag, i guess, its the only car with ABS facility. Believe me its really amazing making sharp turns with a good speed ON. the car is having a grip over road which doesnt seem like slipping in any condition. Really great....!!!

Final Words

 Great buy....!!!

Areas of improvement  

 Bumper locking and other plastic parts locking can be improved a bit.

Exterior Impressing design from the front, Looks from the back is not much attractive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good features in this price range, Cannot find so much space in any other hatchback at any range. Dual tone interiors would have been avoided, light color becomes dirty very soon compared to black beautiful dash board.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good insulation to avoid outside noise. Smooth riding, Gear box would have been fine tuned lttle bit more. Fuel economy is yet to be tested.

Ride Quality & Handling Length adjusting steering, if added, would have been feather to the features. Excellent for long rides. Smooth clutch for city ride.

Final Words Its a value for money in this range, no doubt.

Areas of improvement Dual tone interiors must be avoided, Add length adjusting steering as there is lot of space for a comfort seating adjustment. Remove the Indica brand, which gives more scope for this vehicle. Currently this vehicle is underestimated in the market, compared to other vehicles in this range. Tata should look for more advertising of this good vehicle.
