Booked an Indica Vista Terra Tdi

Finally, I have decided to go in for a new car. Its none other than Tata Indica Vista Terra Tdi.

My budget was 4 - 4.2 lakhs.

Loads of options were available when it came to petrol vehicles. But when it came to diesel vehicle, only a single vehicle stood above the rest. It was none other than Tata Indica Vista Terra Tdi. The on-road price for me comes to Rs 3,82,000. Ain't it awesome. Its literally at the price of a petrol car.

And remember its a diesel car. No other diesel (new) cars are available at this price. I could have gone for the Indica DLS. But somewhere I read, Vista had loads of improvements compared to DLS. And it was mere 15-20k more than DLS.

I always have loved to drive a diesel. Though I have not driven Indica Vista, I still booked the car. I have driven the " naturally aspirated " indica DLS. I have never felt what turbo kick is. Soon I shall blog about it.

I am happy about my decision. The car does not have a tachometer, no power windows, no 60-40 rear seat split. But do I mind all of these. Never. I will opt for 5 spoke alloy wheels. Also inquired about Bull bar. Got to know, its not a part of standard Tata equipment. That makes me disappointed. With a 14-inch tubeless tyre I am more than happy. (I feel petrol variant comes with 13 -inch tyres.)

But all in all, I feel a real value for money car.

I did it on a Saturday. I am deeply indebted to Lord Shani. And hence I wanted to do this on a Saturday only. Hope he keeps me going.
