initially thought it to be value for money but have to rethink now

Exterior

 wheni bhought this car it was done after a research of 5 monthsand test drive of all the cars available in market in this segment(beat,ritz,swift,punto etc.)i compared every aspect i could think oflike price, looks, engine, economy,space, comfort, service,resale,spare part price,service availabilty,features.exterior is good as i have mentioned in previous comment.looks big n spacious like a boss in its segment.beat really beats this car in looks but looks is not wwhat matters only.at first instance all gaps n finishing at corners looks fine but after i have run this car for 5000 km since 3 feb i got it, gaps have increased between the creases between bumper n body.doors do not close without force.door alignment had to be done at 2nd service.but it was done nicely at hisar telmos service stationyou meet there MR. ANIL RANGA AND MR. SANJAY YADAV.YOU WILL GET SATISFIED.there service was awsome every time.and satisfaction which was lacking due to car got covered up with their service and friendly nature.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 features bad plastic, vibrations after 2000 km a few screws got loose and needed to be tightened may be because of poor quality plastic.you cant keep 1 lit bottle in space provided.space is awsome comfort better than ritz, spark, beat, swift,wagonr, santro, estilo. dont know abt figo n polo.even finishing inside is not at par with maruti ,hyundai or chevorlrt.and  I THINK TATA DONT WANT TO IMPROVE ON THIS SEGMENT AT ALL.INCREASE PRICE BY RS.2000 N GIVE tleast quality what your product demands.lumber support really helps,seat height adjustment is plus point and really helps.but you cant see the bonnet untill your head touches roof.forgot to tell punto grips road better than vista.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine is smooth, ride quality excellent in its segment, poor fuel economy of <11/lit in city with ac all the time on, and 13.45km/lit with ac on all the time on highway.it sucks your blood.gear box is not smooth.shift from 2nd to 3rd gear is long.back gear gets stuck so many times.but gear shift is clean you always get a cfair idea that you have shifted the gear well.ac is poor.makes noise at full speed like a local cooler.pick up is good enough but not when you r ridin with 4 people.

Ride Quality & Handli handling is good, gives you a good grip on road,has power steering but not as swift as maruti n hyundai cars have.turns over at corners have to slow down.

Final Words

 good if you buy quadrajet or tdi .if poor plastic does not bother you.and other things as i have mentioned .i feel punto or ritz would have been  better choice.for final words i fall for punto just because of rear seat cofort i switched to vista (which can sqeez 4 persons if needed.)

Areas of improvement  

 plastic plastic plastic.and ya mileage.
