As promised i was not able to update the Euro scores. Instead I thought to put the widgets so that any one can look at the score rather than me updating daily.
I recently brought a new Tata Indigo CS car. Then it struck me write something about that. I went in search of some good article on Indigo so that anyone who is going in next for that can have a look at this article. Before deciding on this car I have researched and zeroed down to: Maruti SX4, Sokda Fabia, Wagon R, Versa, Esteem, UVA, AVEO.
Then I had to decide what I want. I wanted a luxury vehicle in my budget price of 5 lakhs, a vehicle with boot space, and good leg space for driver seat as well as for the back seater. Then after shortlisting I had zeroed down to TATA INDIGO CS. Just the day before I finalise on the car the petrol prices went up then I made my final decision of going for Diesel car. As the advertisement says “At last style does matter”.
Below is the details/specs for Tata Indigo CS. Tata Motors has cut down the overall length of existing Indigo to avail the tax benefits of small car for the Indigo CS. Tata Motors dubs the new Indigo CS as the "World's most compact sedan".
It has two engine variants - 1.2 litres petrol and 1.4 litres diesel. Both are available in 2 variants. The petrol variant of CS is equipped with a multi-point fuel injection engine powered by a 32bit microprocessor and churns out a maximum power of 65PS @ 5200 rpm. The diesel variant comes with the turbo-charged intercooled engine that generates 70PS @ 4500 rpm. The petrol variants will have beige interiors, while the diesel variants will have black interiors.
In terms of looks - the front is exactly the same like Indica V2, also the instrument cluster and interior design has been picked as it is from Indica. But at the rear Tata's job has worked wonders! It has new rear bumper and new tail light cluster which looks quite good and small boot is looking great in comparison to other indigo models. Now the boot looks a part of the car - not a add on!
It is true value for money sedan but the quality issues are still same like other Tata vehicles. Plastic quality is very cheap, fit and finish is poor, wide panel gaps and inferior quality fabric on seats and door panels. The base versions are somewhat avoidable - with black colored bumpers and no Power Steering. There are no power windows - even in top version also!! No steering adjustment! The only reason to buy Indigo CS is that the range starts from 4.50 lakhs on road price for petrol and for diesel its 5.11 lakhs on road.

you didn't compared the one with Swift Diesel. :( There won't be any problem in the first 1 or 2
years. Then the maintancance will start..mind it its a vehicle made by TATA.. u can't find any
vehcile (1.5+ years) in market with out having any issues and a satisfied customer. Tata has made
these vehcles only for CAB purpose
That's not true mithun. It depends on the way you maintain your car. Even if its swift or any car, If you don't maintain your car will also end up having issues. I have seen TATA car's which goes more that 5-6 years without issues. TATA cars are not only for CAB's. May be after couple of years i can invite you to drive my car and prove that to you :-)
