Re: Brand New Sedan Class (Vista QJD VX) 1.6 Years - 40K+ Kms on ODO

Now your car looks Complete !! Alloys look good, how about painting the caliper and the rear drums ?
Thank you Da,

Will paint the Calibers and drum to Red in next couple of weekends

So did you add NE any differences ?
Actually, I thought of calling you.

After driving 500Kms, I found the engine noise above 100Kmph has reduced. Now, I mostly looking the speedometer to confirm the speed[:D]

In Ideal, Engine sound looks similar. but, the Garrr... sound disappered.

@Appu

Nice pics, and I must say that the new alloys and new tyres have changed the Vista look completely different[clap] which I was suggesting you quite long time.

Can you share the experience of the new tyres behavior in this trip

Yes. I too feel, Vista looks Sportier and Bold when compare to previous[:D]

During the trip, I got a chance to drive in all types of roads.

Road noise: There is Drastic change in road noise between Goodyear & Continental. In Continental road noise is very very less. I just like it.

In Newly tared road(Including NH): Grip was excellent, Noticeable improvement in Handling.But, I feel some drag in breaking when compare to Goodyear. Cornering capacity of Vista has been improved.

In Wet roads: Grip & Handling was excellent. breaking effect was good, as like Good year.

In Patches/Pot holes: Vista ate all the patches/Pot holes like cake, Felt very similar to Goodyear.

on Bumpy roads: I feel very little stiff on suspension in Bumpy road. Though it is not noticeable. I can able to sense it.

@appu sory for deviating your thread to another track [lol]

me to facing the same problem with that stock GDYR tyre. just rolled 14k, already at 12k i was forced to insert a tube on one of them.. now it is resting in my dickey [anger]. now another 2 of them are showing bulging on its side wall..!!!!!

as my vista has crossed its 2 year cant claim warranty for its tyre.... i used to check my alignment on every 2.5+k km.. and balancing on 4+k... what should i do now...???? [cry]
If the tyres are worn out uniformly then it is not alignment issue.

What is the tyre manufacturing date of the car? It is mentioned on RC. Also read the manufacturing date of tyres.

Dear Raja, can you give me or rather us some insight on better TATA car dealers based in Mumbai whom we can trust from buying to servicing.
Sorry for the late reply as I just saw your post . Regarding dealers any dealer which gives you good discount and latest manufactured car is good .

Concorde worli I heard gives top class a.s.s .

@ Appu - congrats on the alloys [clap]

Yes, I too got 1 year warranty for Stock battery.

Guys,

I've completed a round trip(Vellore-Cuddalore-Pondy-Chennai-Vellore) of 500kms from 23rd to 24th of Nov.

All the way Whity performed very well(as usual). I just loved the way it behaved on ECR.


Here are the few pics of the trip:

My Favorite stretch(Tiruvanamalai-Thirukovilur stretch):

Alloys look nice AppU..!![:)]

I always felt Vista as a bit "introvert", but when pushed harder it will surprise you with its capabilities..!! What's your view AppU ??[;)]

Thank you for your compliments about my Vista[:)]

What you said is absolutely right Jagrover.

In my point of View,
Look-wise: I never said, Vista is the best looker. but I can say, Vista is not a worst looker. Vista is a car, with simple and decent style. If we try more modification to make Vista as a best looker, it will ends up with weird mod. simple modification will make the Vista to look better.

Performance-Wise: In performance wise, Vista is a decent performer. Vista is very comfortable to curse between 100-120Kmph. Vista can do more than that. But, for a Hatchback on Indian highways is always unsafe. Vista with Quadrajet under the hood is always a tough competitor to other cars on Highways[evil].

Comfort-Wise: This is where Vista leads in its segment. I can say, Vista is perfectly suit to our Indian roads. It absorbs all the pot holes and patches. The comfort it provides is awesome.Even after some 1000Km drive on a single day, I never felt any tired. My thirst for driving Vista is increasing day by day.

BTW, Whity completed 44K Kms on ODO and going strong

thank you for your compliments. But, Still the thirst is not fulfilled for myself & Whity[;)]

As like Gurrala said, Feed some food to your beast & ask your beast to roam on the streets. Explore, unexplored areas. It will increase the affection between yourself and your beast.
