you get everything but not 100%

Exterior

 -ves:  Poor finishing of Window beeding, Door beeding which could make noice cancellation even better, Inconsistent gap at the joints like bumper to body at fromnt & rear, improperly mounted roof rubber beeding.

+ves: Looks very sturdy build, Excellent head lights & tail lamps ( for good visibility on high ways and while raining)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 -Ves: Moulding of plastics for body design and fixing of floor mat (insulating material)

+ves : Space space space - from rear seat you feel like its huge , comfort in seating interms of support for your (leg,thyes,lower back,upper back,neck...etc ), You will get all the necessary features one can expect to have.

For a 6ft tall people -  Vista is the only car which has best Driver seat. I tried all hatch cars. Actually i love Swift but i need to do circuis to move my left leg below steering as the gap between Steering and seat is less.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine Performance : 10/10

 Fuel Economy : 10/10 " Weight of the body and Torque availability on 1,2,3rd gear"

 and Gearbox : 6/10 " Gear changing is not smooth as cable is connecting Gear liver and Gear box " not a straight bars.

Ride Quality & Handling

 1. Stright direction, Vista scores 10/10 due to its weight,width and smooth suspension.

2. Corners, Vista scores 5/10 due to its smooth suspension.

:) Confusing right? As per my analysis You will get Swift like drivability in the corners if  " Suspension are made hard" but it will be bumpy ride on uneven roads and may loose control when you jump on a hump at 100+Kmph as shocks would push back respective wheels into air as its tight instead of compressing itself so that you can land on road in one shot. In Vista, you land safely as i experienced twice.

If suspension is smooth, You will get Vista like drivability in the straight roads if " Suspension are made hard" but it will be scary in the corners.

Final Words

 My criteria for buying Vista: At 6Lacks price which ever diesel car scores more in the following criteria 1. Power (10/10) 2. Space (10/10) 3. Build (8/10) 4. Features (9/10) 5. Looks (9/10) and Maintenance (10/10)

Go for it as if your criteria is similer to it. Keep in ming life is all about compromise " one can find drawback in 20,30,40,50.....lack worth of cars also. also business is all about dont give all in one now but keep something for future - else you wont be having anything to compete in the market.

Dont look at which is good which is bad - its all about which is the best fit to your requirement

Areas of improvement  

 Tata marketing and design teams needs to be competitive in the market analysis and do research on who is doing what and how. Because, Vista needs minor tweaks at no cost as Vista has every thing but Professionalism in micro level is missing.
