Tata Indica Vista [2012-2014] User Reviews

The saga of quality of any Tata product is gone, nowadays the Tata is not selling a single product with 100% quality assured. 

I bought a Indica vista from a chennai dealer called Tafe Reach, it started from there.

 

1.  The central locking is tripping off all of sudden when car moves. 

2.  They changed the steering rack 3 times. 

3.  The front and rear shock absorbers got changed 

4.  The Engine head assembly got changed. 

5.  The left hand side rear view mirror was broken in to pieces in the service center. 

6.  The battery was misplaced at service center. 

7.  It took one and half month to get the vehicle back after the head assembly replacement. 

8.  Main Belt was worn out 

9.  One fine day battery gone dead 

10. Changed the clutch plates 

11. Changed the drive shaft 

12. Twice in a month the vehicle visits the Tafe reach service center and sits there for 3 days on average.

13. In one and half year the vehicle visited service center 36 times. 

 

Hope now you will rethink before you go for buying a Tata Indica Vista. I strongly recommend not to buy a Tata Indica Vista.

I bought Vista - Aqua 1.3 QJ 40 days ago. Tata's have improved a lot over earlier Indica versions. The engine basically is powerful, Clutch is smooth, performance does not pull dowm when AC is ON, unlike in previous versions. And not to mention the low engine noise inside. The interior space is really large and 3 can comfortably seat in rear when two 6 footers in front. The exterior plastic quality however is not good as the handles and the front plastic panel over the front glass started fading in 40 days. It looks odd when the body looks new but not the handles and panel, just after washing the car. Otherwise, all features are good and it is definitely an alternate choice for Swift Diesel. My advice is, if you are looking for petrol engine better to choose Swift and for diesel engine 1.3 Quadrajet is a wise choice.

 

Stylish, particularly black color, Very spaciuos leg room, both front and rearExterior plastic quality is not so good

hi friends...

i bought d aura version(quadrajet) on 8th of oct 2008 .. and hv driven abt 3000 kms so far ..... what i can say abt d car ... is dat its a v v good car, with a v good engine n its performance ... low noise, high quality drive, v powerful, excellent AC, everything is just wonderful abt d car ... cant find any drawback... d only thing is a slight refinement is needed in platics quality n rubber quality, wid of course.. ABS n air bags.... moreover if d tatas can reduce d weight of d car by a few kilos .... it wd add to d performance more....also do give alloys as an initial fitment ..... i hv a friend who owns a skoda...... and has also bought vista quadra....and now he says .... he prefers vista quadra dan his skoda ... well now u can imagine....!

all pros n no cons....!needs refinement in interior plastics n rubber ..

Unlike the Tata Indica which people used to buy because of a compromise, the Vista will change all that....To start with it looks like someone has shrunk the Honda CRV. It's has a refined engine which does not feel underpowered, noise and vibration level inside the cabin are excellent, two tone dash give the cabin an airy feel and plastic quality is improved, the space inside is enormous and five people can travel in comfort., Diver and co driver side seats gets lumber support as well, rear seat comfort is excellent.

Compare to Swift it come loaded with lots of goodies like a dual din audio system, hight adjust driver seat, rear defogger, rear wash with wiper, 60/40 split rear seats and lumber support.

The center mounted instrument panel does not distract your driving that much you get used to it very fast, The Nisan X-Trail started that in India followed by Spark then Vista.

Vista does not come with ABS and Airbags, it is not even on options.

All I can say that this price you cannot go wrong with the Tata Indica Vista... it's got great looks, good interiors and a wonder diesel powerplant under the hood.

Excellent Comfort, Great value for money, Good fuel economy, Come loaded with many goodiesNo ABS or Airbags as an option, Tata should have named it only Vista.... and removed the Indica tag

Bought the Aura Safire March 2009 at Ghosh, Guwahati.

Put on 5500 km so far. See my observations@ 1500 km

Exterior: I love the look of it. The look from close-in front is simply majestic!

Weels look smaller in the holes - I don't like it!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Space is Simply Great, as every one knows.

Comfort: For passengers there is probably no car under 6 lakh that match Vista!

 I am defensive driver (never crossed 100 km/h, yet!).  Unless I have divided

highway with fencing and long visibility I will never cross this mark. Within this 

limit I never felt lack of confidence in braking, which many people are complaining

about. Steering is bit heavier that most other cars, may not be easy for women.

Clutch is very soft. Gear are good. Great suspension.

Many nice features for its price and beyond. I was earlier driving a Corolla in US,

but the feel as you take the drivers seat in Vista is something that I never got

in my old corolla. Manuvarability was of course better with Corolla.

I never felt the noice level too much in Vista, nor felt the smoke from other

vehicles in the cabin (as some were complaing in some forums).

But the beeding quality is poor, I must agree.

As a driver I am enjoying every moment I sit behind the weel.

Fuel Economy: After the 2nd sevicing, I am getting 14 km/l on IITG campus,

where one does not have  to stop in traffic, but need to negotiate with humps and 

frequent gear changes. On highway, from GHy to Kaziranga I got 19 km/l without

A/c, which I am more than happy about. Earlier before my 2nd service I felt it

under powered at full capacity and with A/C on. After my 2nd service I never got 

full capacity to test the power.

Minor Problems faced: Fuel-talk lid does not open up - some one had to open it for me

simultaneaously as I the pull the liver ! It's now fine after 2nd service.

Beeding loose at places. Rear wiper stopped working, I noticed that some one is playing

with it in my carpark and clean the dust with it for fun, most likely some school kids.

One of the rear doors has a nut loose and makes a cry as I open it fully, need to fix

in next service.

Verdict:

I would strongly recommend Vista  to any sedate driver (who is sensible

and  not concerned  about the so called "Taxi image" of TATA).

Milege, boot spacePastic quality

 

Exterior HELLO this car is really excellnt. it exceeds my expectations. at a time I was confused vich car to choose between swift Vdi, ritz vdi and indica vista. but after test drive I booked this car and now completed 5000 kms without and problem. sometimes it looks like a SUV.. really nice car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) About the features. nice features at all.. good power windows, power steering, air conditions etc. space is also large. Comfort is like the sedans. It  gives us sedan like comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox powerful engine of 1405 cc . great fuel economy. it gives me milage of 16 with ac on 110-130 speed. Smooth gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality and better handling on roads even 90-100 and above as comare to other cars.

Final Words GO FOR IT.

Areas of improvement Company should give mp3 player in  aqua tdi model.

exterior , interior , fuel economy , spacious , sporty look and every thing is too good.......nthing to say......

I took test drive of Vista Aura Saffire as well as Quadrajet.. First word for it "Superb..." First sentence for it "Mind blowing car at such a price Tag".. I drove it, I couldnt stop praising Tata's engineers for making such a dynamic car.. Ride quailty matches that of Skoda Fabia(Premium Hatch) Cabin space similar to Honda City(Massive for a Hatch). Drive it an you will never feel even the worst roads inside cabin,U feel gliding over BUMPS.. Long drive will no longer be tiring or jerky with VISTA's ride quality.. Sit on Drivers Seat and ull says excellent road visiblity.. I never felt i was driving a HATCH it gives u a Sedan Feel. Built quality like Skoda's (Tank like built quality) Clutch feel positive Compared to Old Indica, Its no match with Indica V2.. Intelligent Storage System.. Vista's Backseat are True Engima's for a Hatch back.. U can compare Backseat with Luxury Cars, It offers Sofa like comfort.. Refinement no doubt, it comes with Fiat's realibility. After Test Drive I got a Call from TATA'S Head Office Pune About My REVIEWS for INDICA VISTA.. They just wanted to know about Flaws in Vista.. I told tyres need to be bigger 15inch will do and it should come with ABS and Airbags as standard.. They assured me that my feeback will be taken into consideration and they will start working on it as soon as possible.. This shows to what an extent TATA's service has improved. Last word "Test Drive one and Vista changes Everthing"..Huge Car, Superb backseat comfort, Good style, Good Interiors, Airy Cabin with Excellent Driver viewCar should have ABS and Airbags, Rest its Superb Hatch, Tata's Please rename this car to just VISTA.

had a brief look at the car. already have indica dls for last four years and the only sore point is loud engine noise and low pickup while starting the car and in the city.since the engine has been changed with the best and styling has been vasty improved with addition of new headlights,centrally mounted speedo etc. with marginal increase in the prices this car has finally come to dislodge the best in the buisness i.e. swift vdi. could not check the average/ride/handling etc. as of now but have no doubts about them as i own the indica which is excellent in these areas and TATA must have improved on these aspects. cannot think of owning any other small cars after owning tata for last few years.must be having good fuel economy, style is great,excellent featuresboot is again less as compared to the competition i.e. palio,skoda,getz
