Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - There are several features that I love in my car like the seat height adjustment, steering adjustment. When it comes to space vista stands out among the hatchbacks. It has great room for 5 adults and the leg room in the front and rear is unbeatable. The seats are very comfortable. The console is excellent for the price we pay. The CD player does its job and not to be compared to Sony, etc.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - The Fiat engine is awesome and contradictory to what I read in some reviews you don't hear the engine noise inside the car. The Gear box and clutch are great when compared to other Diesel cars. I get 17-18 kmpl inside Chennai city with A/c.
Ride Quality & Handling - Though it has power steering it is quite harder compared to Maruti. I wish Tata does something about this in their next version. I miss the ABS but glad that it is now available in the newer version. I've not driven above 80 Kmph and the overall the ride is great.
Final Words - I've had this car for 8 months now and have done 5000 miles. It's definitely worth the money and offers a load of features (music system, steering adjustment, seat height adjustment, lumbar support, fog lamps, rear wiper) compared to Swift that too for a lesser price. I've completed 2 free service and have had good experience contrary to the oft repeated complaint that their service is poor. I was even called for 4 FREE service camps so far and I have no complaints about their service. So much so that I am looking forward to upgrading myself to a Manza in the next 2 yrs.
Areas of improvement - The Power steering can be improved. A light in the boot would help
