Thank you for the kind words and visiting the thread. Yes, The car is indeed a looker. Quote:

Not really, I don't have a habit of resting my foot on the clutch. But it would have been a really nice addition. Specially for the longer drives. But given the cramped foot-well I doubt where they could have fitted it. Quote:

The steering is perfect with nothing unusual. It is a bit on the heavier side though., But I enjoy that.Yes, I have observed the Clunk sounds in the front suspension. Coincidentally I too own a vista so I can completely relate to what you say. But the sound is well controlled unless you go on a speed breaker really fast. Quote:

Wow, This got interesting I also purchased a Manza Elan (Tata fans you see). And I am happy to report that both my Elan as well as the Aria have no such AC related problems. Quote:

Well some of the issues are not faced by me. So cant really comment on those. But yes the clunk sounds were not fixed by the TASC.
For the rest of your query ACM has posted a detailed explanation above. Quote:

Firstly, Thanks for dropping by dot. Really nice to have you around. Glad you liked the review. The Scorpio is a chapter of the past now. Toothless has gotten me over it. Quote:

Do go through my review on the first page. I have put a 'LOT' of interior pics there. Once you see them you will observe that these modern interiors have no comparison with that of the safari. Quote:

A very valid question there dot! Well my reply may surprise you but apart from some sound coming from the boot, The Aria has zero rattles. Quote:

The Skopa and VW vehicles infact do go into fresh air mode automatically and this is supposed to be a feature. - Obviously not suitable for India, but the Aria has go this one correct.
The Dead pedal learning would do good.
The Steering noise over bad roads in the Aria is relatively negligible, though it is quite substantial in the Safari. |
Thanks for the explanation and the feedback on the pics buddy! You are absolutely right, once again.
Until then;
