Bad experience with the Indica Turbo- 5000 K

[nitrous]

Nobody understands a TATA until u own ONE!!

If I quote from personal experience, my Indica V2 LSi has NEVER let me down in 37.5 months and nearly 60000 km.

Would I buy a Tata vehicle again? You bet! I think someone mentioned it earlier in this forum - the pros of a Tata easily outweigh the cons.

This is really worrying.

I have just sold off my Indica turbo due to major quality issues and was seriously contemplating a swift- but if these are the kinds of issues with a swift I think I better look elsewhere.

it seems Maruti has really taken the Indian public for granted this time. Pathetic.

you have sold off is it... i feel you should have waited some more time and could have taken a extended bumper to bumper warranty on your indica and could have been better off with it...

if you had read steeroid's thread about his dicor, you could notice that it had many issues initially, but once they were sorted out, it dint re appear and he is happy with his vehicle... guess you should have waited.. any my its my opinion..

anyway, hope you have a good experience with your new car.

@tifosi...

Actually, the trouble with the car only precipitated the decision ot sell. I am in the process of shifting out of TVM and was contemplating whether to take the TDi or sell it. Had not made up my mind when this incident occured.

so this just helped me make up my mind.

O.T. trouble is that now I am in a dilemma which car to buy, having read so much negative stuff about swift. Dont wanna spend more than 5 L OTR in BLR.

Indica is a highly unreliable vehicle after 20K. In 30K i had to change all the tyres becuz of uneven wear and tear. Now my car is 55K done and started giving strange compliants everyday. Last week I was travelling from Kollam to Trissur and after Edapally suddently the vehicle stopped at the middle of the trafic. I crancked the engine but only a small murmur was the reply :(. Finally i had to take help of notorious Rick drivers of cochin to move the "Inida's pride" out of the track. They help me by pushing is and i could manage to start it in second gear. I drove it down to an exide showroom to check the batteries thinking that my battery is down. Surprisingly the exide service person shown me full health 4 cells on the battery and he asked me to change the carbon brush of my self-starter to a copper one. Another incedent, 3 months before my car broke down on Vytilla Jn becuse of gear selecter problem. On the move when I changed the gear found tht the gear liver lost its link to the gear box and moving to any direction i want. I had to wait for 4 hours with my family on road to get a help from TATA mobile workshop to come and repair it. I never had the confidence of overtaking another vehicle with the AC on because it will take a lot of time to gain the speed while AC is on and by the time opposing trafic will mask my path. U never enjoy driving in this vehicle for sure.

Ur problems are understandable. I guess, u should stick with maruti vehicles since they suit u best.

'Tata' and 'reliability' are two extreme words. But, Tata's middle name is 'lower running cost'

And we can never compare 20-25 year old japanese designs to our infant Tata cars.
