టాటా ఇండిగో cs [2008-2011] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

I got Indigo CS GLX model ( Top end petrol with power window, central lock & defogger lamps)delivered on 8th jan 2009 , booked a month earlier hence got additional discount of 4% excise cut & dealer offer. On Road it costed 4.51 with blaunkpont Music system with rear speaker & remote, mobile charger,mud flaps mattings , sun flim, seat cover. Last two month being winter month so 60% time AC was off  .Driving seems pleasurable, smooth gear shifting , reliable breaks & last 15 days tested AC against outside temprature of 42degree , it work well.Total average 10.6 to 11.2 km /lit.Actually uptill in city I have driven 1030 km & filled 85 lit of petrol on delivery meter was showing 33km mark.On highway I yet need to test the vehicle but late night when you drive 70 or 80 plus you feel steady & safe. Most amazing thing   this sedan provide is space,it is incredible. Even if boot space is reduced the back seats are extremly spacious and comfortable with ample leg room, even driver seat compared all other car is comfortable ( personal) . The top end model provide all the frills which are there in premium cars except ABS & Airbags which is new fad introduced to match  up with inernational trend, belive me I am driving four wheeler for more than a decade , I never felt to have ABS fitted , it is for those rashless youth who try to immitate filmy style.In end verdict is if you need a car ( Sedan ) for commuting then this is the car at mouth watering price. I selected Petrol Version as my daily commuting is less than 15 Km/day. Also pleasurable driving for last three month have broken the myth that TATA vehicle are diesel freindly  only . Petrol version is equally refined . After first servicing it get more smoother. But you need to drive & maintain the vehicle as per the guidline provided by the manufacturer. Enjoy the TATA INDIGO CS GLX  . 

I bought the car in November 2008. My budget was around 4-4.5 lacs. This was going to be my first car. And as the advertisement goes "I always wanted my first car to be a Sedan". Hence I shortlisted Indigo CS GLX.

I am happy with my decision. I got all the features I wanted i.e. power steering, all 4 power windows, lot of boot space, ample leg space, comfortable for 3 at rear seat, good aircon; and above all 12 kmpl in city with AC ON. What more you want? On highways, I got 14-14.5 kmpl. Till now, I have driven 3000 kms and fuel average is very consistent.

I haven't faced any major problems yet; once power steering oil got leaked but that was promptly attended to; that's all.

I'll strongly recommend to go for CS if

- you have a bigger family but a smaller budget and still you want to own a sedan. Indigo CS is the car for you.

Exterior:- Nice exterior look, ground clearance is sufficient so we donot have to worry on speed breakers. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) :- Very comfortable leg space ,A/C is too good ,5 passengers can travel comfortably in this car . Long drive is really comfortable.Nice beige coloured interior is provided by TATA. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox :- Powerful & less noisy engine ,Fuel economy is better (12-14 km/l). Gears are very smooth for operation (like makkhan)remains steady at higher speed (i.e. more than 100 km/hr)

Ride Quality & Handling:- Fantastic

Final Words  :- Tata has really given us such a nice sedan at an  affordable price .Be Indian , Buy Indian & proud to be an Indian

Areas of improvement  :- External mirrors  are not completely foldable as compared to other cars . Adjustable height for driver  seat can be provided . Provide hand rest for back seat .Provide powerful antenna for FM radio. Backside wiper is also essential.Tubeless tyres to be provided.

Tata indigo CS GLX my first car.

Before i went to purchase it , the car stole my eyes. more over when i have it i am falling in love with it.

i am person with a very large figure, so i needed a Spacious car with a ample leg space, and the car meets the criteria. Styling is upto the mark with its new analogue clock and front console.

As i am not very much bothered with the milage i have chosen the petrol version(GLX). my daily travel is less than 15 Km. and  the new car is giving 10Km/lit. with AC. I hope after my first servicing the milage will improve.

AC(HVAC) is efficient and there is no rear vent, i feel it a bit noisy.

Engine is smooth and producing a good power and pickup. what i liked the most is its look and interior . outer rear view mirror is dual tone with metal insert . total beige interior. leather wrapped gearshift knob and steering whelel   The boot space is huge, and double folding backrest of the back seat gives enough space during the need of carrying more luggage.

Another good thing about the car is its power steering. its sensitive than many other cars( alto/Santro/WagonR......opnion may vary).

Power window is provided with the higher end model(GLX).

Audio warning for drivers seat belt is a good safety measure i found apart from standard measures.

Head lights could be more brighter particularly in dipper.

with all Pros & Cons. its one of the best car made in India. Tata motors proved again that they can give the middle class indian the pleasure of Sedan @ 4,40403(on road/ Bhopal)  Thanx to them.

If you are planning for a car with space, comfort and value for money you can go for indigo CS.

Happy and safe Driving,

Exterior

Looks good and decent. Even after 3 years.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Spacious and comfortable. original seats are not that comfortable. Interiors were gone in 2.5 years.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Not as powerful with AC on. Clutch plates gone after 40K km.

Ride Quality & Handling

Good. Shocks not good quality. Feels lighter than a Ford sedan.

Final Words

Expensive to maintain after 3 years. Not much response from dealer/company. Parts can get rusty and dangerous, and some jobs can run into 20-30k. They say that - i should have known to put rust coating (if it is so obvious, why didn't they do it, or the dealer - and charge extra). Electrical issues after 2 years. Don't know how many more. Company should take responsibility.

Areas of improvement  

Tata should take more responsibility for larger jobs. Parts getting rusty is a basic - quality issue of the parts. And the internal design is so primitive that for some parts entire front - including engine and dashboard need to be taken apart.  

The car is decently styled, has excellent space and comfort, responsive power steering, smooth power windows, powerful AC, good boot space, comfortable ride on bumpy road, overall value for money.However, one safety precaution is that accidently one cannot shift from 5th gear to reverse gear due to interlock.

The gear shift is not as smooth as with Maruti Vehicles as I have been driving Maruti Zen Lx for last 7 years. Regarding fuel economy, I have to check.Also, I feel that stereo should have been factory fitted.

I would recommend others to see for themselves and buy.

Thanks

Exterior Stright front view is like Indica, which i din't like. Other all views are the best. Good feel of owning a big car at small car's price. Over all good exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very confortable at diriving seat, co driver seat and 3 at rear seat. Sufficient dicky space. I have travelled many times with compelete lagguage of 4 for 2-3 days. Whatever a good car requires all is available.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good, smooth in petrol engine. Giving average of 14 kmpl, highways it is 16 kmpl and Pune-bangalore it give me 18kmpl. Over all good engine and gearbox perfomance.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspensions - I will complaint. Not very good. Rest is good, Night driving with all 4 lights on (incl fog lamps) is the best. I love to drive night. Recently i travelled 480 kms continuously, the ultimate experience.

Final Words At todays status i would recommend diesel than petrol. Because difference between petrol and diesel is only of 20k.

Best deal = value for money.

Areas of improvement Suspension to be more smoother, company fitted LPG/CNG duo model should be available.
