My friend exchanged his old Indica V2 with a new Tata Indica Turbo. And I test drove the turbo version for a few kms.

There is a big difference in the way the old and new Indica drives. Driving in the city with AC on, in just the 2nd gear, is possible now. The engine is noisy at start, but as the car starts moving, you hardly hear the engine, especially with the windows rolled up.

Also, post 2000 RPM, the turbo spools up and the car goes like a Boeing Jet ready to take off. It takes some time to get used to the turbo power.

But, new Indica V3 is coming soon, in another 6 months. This is a totally new car, built from scratch. So if anybody is looking to buy a diesel small car, they can either go for Maruti Suzuki Swift Diesel now or wait for the launch of the new Indica.

Me recently buying Tata Motors stock has nothing to do with the above glowing review of Indica diesel.

True. Swift & Indica diesel should not be compared to eachother.

Another diesel small car available to buyers from next month would be Skoda Fabia.

They are positioning this as a luxury small car. It has the features mostly available in big cars like Octavia in a small car. But it costs 7 lakhs ex-showroom.

prospective car buyers who do not mind their capital depriciating should wait for the FABIA

understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

Exclusive look at the Tata Nano (Video)

The more I read about it, the more I like it. I am seriously considering buying one after it is launched and using it in the city. All it needs to make it a usable car is a MP3 player and a big amplifier & sub-woofer.
