The engine is surely a great configuration of power and torque. The petrol engine gives you a good pick up and makes your drive really fast. The car is meant for city drives and due to its short turning radius the car is not much of problem to maneuver in city traffic. Also it’s a relief to park this car in heavy crowded areas. The interior space is good and the car also offers roomy boot space to carry your entire luggage. The car is designed to be a perfect family car.

The drive too is satisfactory. The car’s gear shift though needs a bit of improvement. The car is edgy on curves and you don’t feel total control at sharp turns. Braking system is altogether good and the suspension system complements the entire system.

Overall, it is a good family ride that will make your drive enjoyable.

Overview:

The car is a magnificent piece of a combination of many things.

The technology used by Tata in the engines is commendable. The engine is way too productive for a family car. Not only the engine but overall car is a great family car. The V2 promises all the features and facilities and also the finance part of it. The car is a great competition to the like s of Hyundai Santro, Maruti Alto, and Swift etc. Indica is a reliable product and basically its after sales service is good. Price is the special attraction in this as it will not cost you more than 2, 75,000 something (ex-showroom). The car spares are also cheaper in case something about maintenance come out. But yes, Tata has its maintenance problems and the car really has its problems after the first 20, 000 Km.
