Purchased GVS 1.1 model a month back, here is its review:


PROS:



  1. Easy to get in & out

  2. Spacious, comfortable, refined, smooth, good suspensions

  3. Truly a sedan – except for a boot, but still got good boot space of 290L

  4. Spacious & comfortable drive for rear passengers as well

  5. Many ppl think of power issue here, don’t bother abt it, its adequate & torque is perfectly in b/w santro & getz 1.3. Torque & BHP is remapped according to the extra weight. 1.1 GVS is 200 kg heavier than santro & 50 kg less than getz 1.3. Considering GVS over santro wld be a wise decision & one would never regret. Moreover its personal driving skill also, many times I’ve been able to beat other cars in a pickup race.


    1. Trust me one would not think of power issue here, I’d personally bought pulsar bike over splendor for more power & wanted more power over my Alto also, but here I’m so satisfied with d car that I don’t mind lil bit less power !

  6. Gear box soooo smooth, its like playing with a toy !!

  7. Hydraulic steering more stable but takes some time to get used to over EPS

  8. Rear seats completely foldable increasing space to (my guess) 900+L & a person could sit there & relax also, children could sleep etc

  9. Cubby holes & small storage spaces good enough, 60:40 split in rear seat really helped me

  10. A/C extremely effective if u close vents on one side, its sufficient / avg with both side vents open & at blower 1st level

  11. Extended bumpers all round d car. Helps in congested city traffic (like in B’lore)

  12. Tilt steering v useful & really helps – one can chose whichever position one wants at any point of time at just a lever change

    Pros contd...

    13. Speed & pickup hardly affected by A/C
    14. When car is stationary with engine on, its sooo smooth that I can hardly make out at times that the engine is on !!
    15. Clutch foot-rest a great option in all Hyundai cars. Really helps in less usage of clutch & perfect rest for d foot. – A very clever & useful feature.
    16. NVH factor very good, with windows closed one’s own horn or other’s horn is just about audible !!

    CONS:
    1. Power is adequate but not peppy like santro & swift. One can feel lil bit power shortage at times, but still adequate.
    2. Slightly over expensive
    3. Getting mileage of around 11 - 11.5 in city with mix of A/C & without A/C and before 1st service)
    4. Thigh support is slightly less for driver atleast
    5. bad ability over potholes, car seems to sway/move more over potholes
    Overall definitely a better buy than santro anytime-one would not regret it even over swift. Driven100kmph sofa

    Hi..It has been a while you posted your review. Please update us on mileage and anything you found pros & cons. And some more pointer in camparision with Swift VXI whould be very helpful. I am in confusion to take Getz or Swift.

    Hi Kumar, I aslo drove my Getz 1.1 on highway till 130kmph, at which steerign wheel was slightly vibrating, so i guess this one not meant for above 140kmph! Mileage in city = ~12 w/o AC), highway = ~17-18kmpl. Normally its very comfortable & pleasure to drive unless u want speed factor 9then go for swift), otherwise I find getz better than swift on most of the fronts.If ur driving is mostly city go for getz, if ur driving is quite a lot on highways thn go fr swift.UVA falls b/w these 2 acc to m

    more: on highways safety is more imp, so got for Swift Vxi with ABS & safety bags. getz also has 1 v nice feature especially for single users: u can close air vents on LHS completely to double air flow & AC effect only on drivers side. getz has more comfortable rear seats, more boot space, gear shift v smooth, clutch rest pedal, 60:40 rear split + complete foldable, 3 pockets to keep bottles, better rear view while backing etc. swift scores on bigger tyres, speed & acc, slightly better mileage

    1.Extremely spacious
    2.IF you are planning to buy 1.1 gvs.. go for 175 tyre. It comes fully loaded with spoiler and orogonal hyundai wheel caps.
    3. Fuel indicator helps a lot. Great pick up & power steering just amazing.
    4.Its been 6 days since we 've purchased.Its giving 14 kmpl in city( w/o AC).
    5.I guess once we are done with the servicing. It mite give up to 16 in city..This takes Hyundai Getz a step further when it comes with Swift.
    NO SECOND THOUGHT TO BUY THIS VEHICLE.
    GETZ ROCKS!!
