i own vista aura quadrajet since 6 months travelled 6000kms…comfort level is something heavenly in this segment. this one was appreciated very much better by my friends who own swift and swift dzire ,they said both swift nd dzire is very flimsy but vista is more relaxed and comfortable.
in the long rides i dont get tired anymore as i used to when i travelled in indica v2 or maruthi zen.
earlier i used to feel discontent for not having safety features but now i feel
best made for india where i cant drive more than 70kmph,( once i had to pay penalty of rs.500 for over speeding camera showed 99.2kmph)
so need not think about abs or airbags anymore .
but plastic fit and finish in the interiors are still the most disgusting ..i am still cautious to operate the viperstalks and other switches ..they may fall apart any moment….but they are intact untill now….!!!!

Vista is quite big and spacious. It may be very useful if you are considering lot of time spending in it, long drive and usage of >700 km per month. Considering your usage and mileage , I think Astar is very good. You can look for Beat as well. This also looks very nice.

Hi,
I am thinking of changing my 10 year old maruti 800 for new generation hatchback. I am considering Astar vxi (sorry not Alto) OR i10 Magna OR Vista Or Beat. My monthly usage is less than 300 kms and most of the times I have only one co passenger (my better half!) Can somebody suggest a reliable car with fuel efficiency and feature rich

Here is the Indica/Marina/ Indigo coding:
I have picked this from Tata Indica Users Group. Due credits to Mr. Achin Juneja, the guru on Tata cars..Very useful info.

The post:
Chassis Number :
A typical chassis no. is — 600132CTZP78900.

The first 6 characters are the model code — in this case, Indica DLE.

The 7th character — ‘C’ in this example — represents the month of
manufacture, according to the foll. table :
A — Jan.
B — Feb.
C — Mar.
D — Apr.
E — May.
F — Jun.
G — Jul.
H — Aug.
J — Sep.
K — Oct.
L — Nov.
M — Dec.
Pls note that ‘ I ‘ is not used.

The 8th & 9th characters together represent the year of manufacture,
according to the foll. table :
Z — 0
Y — 1
X — 2
W — 3
V — 4
U — 5
T — 6
S — 7
R — 8
Q — 9
P — 10
and so on.
In our example, the 8th & 9th characters are ‘ T Z ‘. Reversing the order
makes it ‘ Z T ‘.
As per the table, this converts to ‘ 0 6 ‘, or the year 20 06, the ‘ 20 ‘
being assumed.

The 10th character represents the Plant location, with ‘ P ‘ for ‘ Pune ‘.

The last 5 numbers comprise the Serial No. of the chassis.

So, our example no., 600132CTZP78900, means the model is Indica DLE,
manufactured in March, 2006, at Pune, having chassis serial no. ‘ 78900 ‘.

Engine Number :
A typical engine no. is : 475IDI__03 CTZP12345.
The first 6 to 8 character group represents the engine type, as per foll.
table :
475IDI — Non turbo diesel.
475IDI TC — Turbocharged Diesel.
475MPFI — Petrol MPFI.

The next 2 digit number represents the emission norms as per the foll. table
:
05 — BS-2 from Jan 2005 onwards.
03 — BS-3.

The remaining 9 characters represent the month, year of mfr., Plant, &
serial no. of engine, as per the chassis no. tables.
So an engine no. of 475IDI 03 CTZP 12345 will be a non-turbo diesel engine,
conforming to BS-3, manufactured in March, 2006, at Pune, & having serial
no. 12345.

Consider MA3EKE41SOO123456-D9 as chasis number of the Swift and just decode as below

MA3 – Corresponds to Manufacturer
EKE41- Corresponds to the variant
S00 – Indicates type of car
123456- Last six digits indicate unique serial numbers/Chasis ID.
D9- April 2009
**Months (Jan-Dec) are denoted by A to M (i is silent) .

OT:: Just note down this while pre-registartion checkup and cross check during the pre-delivery inspection.

hi,
i am using terra quadrajet since 2 months. it’s a very good vehiclr with excellent performance and fuel efficiency. terra being the basic version, it has got ac and power steering. which i found sufficient. top models comes with fog lamp, power windows fancy stuffs. so you can decide which one is appropriate for you. Terra with good music system simply rocks.
