  • The fronts of the Indigo and the Indica look exactly the same, barring a bit of plastic chrome on the Indigo's grille. Got to change, and quickly.

  • The easy availability of genuine spare parts, currently restricted through dealers.

  • A lack of finesse in vital visual and feel parameters like the dashboard, steering wheel and electrical control switches.Specifically, the AC controls are horrible.

  • And finally, in India, the engine's cubic capacity sets the tone for customer assumptions on "power", and thus purchase. The Indigo and Indica have the same cubic capacity. The lessons of Maruti 1000, Ford Escort 1.3 and Fiat Siena are not too far away or irrelevant.
