Exterior

The body structure and shape is good for nice aero dynamics.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Appropriate for a family. Easy to carry 5 people and enough luggages, can carry about 500 kgs - including 5 people. The seat fabrics are not so best, but average. Seats are not for continuous traveling - more than 3 hours. The ever best cars I've travelled was Toyota.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I like the engine performance, but the diesel version gets noisey due to wear and tear, well that is the same for any diesel cars. Fuel economy is not up to what they promise, in between 16 - 19.

Ride Quality & Handling

Nice steering and torque, smooth accelerator and brakes. Problem with reverse gear, sometimes hard to put reverse mode. Good wheel size, 175/65 R 14" (14"rim), but my expectation is 15".

Final Words

I just like this car, but I don't know why the Tatas is cursed to have poor resale value? The reason is unknown. It is all just trickeries of the automobile market. It is the best Tata car for Indian roads. Indica Vista Quadrajet is a big success, but I'm so sorry to hear why they've stopped the production.

Areas of improvement  

Pillars on the sides of the front wind screen are obstacles to view objests from sides. Glass holders for rear seats.

The Drivetech 4 system. It is a very quick and smooth to drive. Strong chassis.Front suspension: probably because of the heavy engine.
