Good to know you are enjoying the Xeta, any issues with the reliablity factor? and last but not the least, your personal experience with the AC of the Car. |
Hi Musicmanaman, well I am not fond of speeding too much. However the max that I have done is 120-125 kmph once on the Rajarhat express highway(when the stretch was better!). But only once to such limits. No more.
As far as the performance of the car is concerned :
My Xeta has quite a good pull. The low end torque is good and on flat roads you can move the car around at around 40 kmph without hitting the accelerator. Try keeping the rpm within 1 to 2k and you get the best performance out of this car. Although it has a 1.4 lt engine, it does not act liek one since the microprocessor ladder logic has been toned down by Tata Motors for better mileage. If you can have some one tweak them. Any of the Tata Motors workshops can do it for you.
Due to the weight of the car, vibration is minimal once you cross 50kmph. Above 80-85 kmph its smooooth ride.1 As for the mileage I am getting 12-13 kmpl steady since I bought it.(with 30% AC usage) .
As for the AC, these were my observations. Its better than the Indica LSi/Lxi Acs. However on very hot days you need to perk up to the full fan speeds to have desirable effects. But those days are less common in Kolkata. Driving with the AC on is a genuine drawback. The drag is not good at all. A little slope can slow you down. However with a judicious use of the gear shifts you can negotiate this problem.
The steering position could have been lower and the seats a bit longer for thighs to rest a bit.
let me know if I can be of any more help.
As for photos, I will definitely post some. I need to take few first.
Cheers,
