India's reliable Hatch

Exterior The looks are something you dont buy a Indica for. The car has been built with the sheer reasons of reliability . An ugly duckling but has looks that have not been replicated in any form. No other hatch in Indian car scene looks nearly similar.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Has lot of leg space in the interior. Though the car lacks in terms of having a good dash, but the rear seat comfort is everybody would vouch for.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox is smooth and gear changes are smooth and the car handles the city and highway speeds in equal stride. The Engine in sluggish in 80-90 segment . My car has electric fuel pump which enhances the engine performance . The FE is 15kmpl on an average. The breaking needs a bit to be desired.

Ride Quality & Handling The suspension is bumpy and noisy. It makes more noise than my sedan. Other wise ride is comfortable. Steering and handling is smooth.

Final Words Its a car made keeping Indian road conditions in mind, the niggles are typically the ones you would expect from a TATA vehicle, but the current car has improved performance now.

Areas of improvement Suspension, TATA Service Centre, Lack of ABS, Airbag otherwise a reliable Indian CAR.
