Tata Indigo Marina [2004-2010] User Reviews

Nothing beats the practicality,comfort,space and elegance of the marina..good performer...that makes me a proud owner of a black 2007 marina GLX..i have travelled over 7000kms in just 4 months and tend to fall in love everytime i sit behind the steering wheel...small hiccups r the the bad quality of plastics, the absence of extra cup holders, no alloy rims, no steering adjustments, no bonnet light, inadequate illumination by the head lights, poor ground clearance with load, no rear AC vents, small speaker vents in the rear..but despite that i love the attitude of this car..a winner on the highway..gives tough time to even premium segment cars..a family car to the core..black colour looks awesome..a good city car too but one should be careful while reversing..a car worth a thought and try..very smooth and low level of NVH..AC quite efficient for the big room...thanx tata motors..

space,comfort,lookspoor ground clearance, poor quality plastics

I am driving this car since its launch in Kolkata, and I have taken it to frequent rides in the golden quadrilatral highways too.

It is terrific at the highways, as well as in the city, though lower torque in 1st and 2nd gears makes you constantly shift gears in heavy traffic.

In the upper gears, there is no dearth of power.

The air con is very very powerful.

Offers the boot space of a minivan when you fold the rear seats, I have even transported tables and chairs in this amazing car.

It is also a show stopper, especially its side view.

It has minor problems creeping up, right from its birth, like leaking of steering oil, plug short, engine revving up by itself , etc

But overall, a very good buy, very comfortable, very spacious, and awesome appearence. I would change my car only for another marina.

I get an average of 12.5 kmpl atleast.

Highly recommended.

Niche look, huge boot space, commands respect, equally suited to business and leisure usequality issues, engine snags, lesser torque in lower gears

TATA-Marina is a good car. I have 2005, LS model and completed 53000 km. Fitted power window by own. A very gud vehical for highway driving. Very comfortabe. My longest drive was 650 km apx in a day(Gurgaon to Salasar and back). At the end of my journey i feel very happy to see the performance in term of fuel economy (18~20 kmpl) and comfort level. No tiredness at the end of journey. Good controlling, but some where pickup was less w.r.t other cars. This type of models are not so liked in our country due to the size. But once you will get the driving experience defenitely you will like it. Value for money in this segment. Style is also good. AC performance is supper. Ground clearance is less.  TATA should increase the height.  Normally people think's that TATA vehicals have more maintenance, this is not true. Re-Sale value is low...but...Overall I m happy with my car.

Indigo Marina (LS BS III)

City Mileage (without a/c) – 19.65 kmpl

Highway Mileage (without a/c)- 22.5 kmpl

City Mileage (with a/c) – 14.03 kmpl

Highway Mileage (without a/c)- 17.5 kmpl

It took me almost 2 years to get these magical figures. At last all my hard work paid off and I can say that my car is probably the only Marina that gives such a g8 mileage. One more thing, there is no power lag below 2000 rpm i.e. even without turbo getting activated, during pickup it behaves like a petrol engine. Some more facts about mileage: During my visit from Rudraprayag to Kedarnath and back I got a mileage of 16.35 Kmpl at one of the most dangerous hilly roads in India (frequent landslides) and during my visit to Mana (the last village on Indian side on India China border, if I would have done another 45 kms I would have reached China) and dangerous roads via Nandprayag (including one of the most steepest hilly roads between Govindghat and Badrinath where you have to take your car up at first gear, with water from waterfalls overflowing on the road, thereby your tyres almost 30% submerged in water) and back I got a mileage of around 13.52 kmpl.

Tips:

Get all the genuine parts for your diesel pump.

Only visit a mechanic who along with engine work also knows how to do setting of diesel pump.

Keep the tyre pressure at 35 psi.

Use engine treatment during oil change (drastically reduces friction and engine overheating)

G8 mileage, spacious interior, g8 exterior luks, supr chilld ac,tiredless drivin during long journySuspension needs to be more strong
