I HAVE PURCHASED THE AVEO-UVA IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER,2007 AND I AM TOTALLY SATISFIED FROM THE CAR BECAUSE OF ITS FUEL ECONOMY, IT IS GIVING ME APPROX 16-17KMS/LITER IN CHANDIGARH WITH AC. IT IS THE BEST CAR IN ITS CLASS DUE TO PERFORMANCE, STYLE, FUEL ECONOMY AND INTERIORS, VALUE FOR MONEY. THANKS GENERAL MOTORS.

    Hi
    Am planning to buy U-VA. Did you compare it to Swift or Getz before buying. What about after sales service and maintainance costs.

    THANKS FOR WRITING THE COMMENT. FIRST OF ALL THE ROOM SPACE, GROUND CLEARANCE, TURNING RADIUS, WHEEL BASE IN THE UVA ARE MORE APPEALING AND BETTER THAN THE SWIFT AND GETZ. TORQUE OF THE VEHICLE ALSO GOOD. THE ENGINE DOESNT KNOCK WHILE THE CAR IN TOP GEAR AND YOU DRIVE THE SAME IN SLOW SPEED. AFTER SALE SERVICE IS MUCH BETTER AS THE GM IS WORLDS LARGEST CAR MANUFACTURER AD THEY HAVE THE STATE OF THE ART WORKSHOPS. BUT THE SERVICE NETWORK IN THE MAJOR CITIES ONLY. THE MAINTAINANCE COST IS LESS

  3. on 18 Jan, 2008 at 02:43 PM Ravi Shanker

    THE MAINTAINANCE COST OF THE UVA IS IN TERMS OF SPARE PARTS IS LOWER THAN SWIFT AND GETZ. FOR MORE INFORMATION U CAN VISIT http://www.gm.co.in/content_data/AP/IN/en/GBPIN/001/BRANDSITE/aveo_uva_maruti_suzuki.html. INTERIORS OF UVA ARE MOST ATTRACTIVE. CONTROLS OF UVA ARE SOFT. AS I HAVE TAKEN THE TEST RIDE OF SWIFT AND GETZ

    DEAR MR ARORA. UVA IS GIVING ME THE FUEL ECONOMY 16KM/LIT OF PETROL IN CITY WITH IDEL SPEED OF 50KM/H. THE SERVICE COST IS NOT PINCHING THE POCKET EQUIVALENT TO THE SERVICE COST OF ITS COMPETITORS. BUT THE COST OF SPARES IS LESS THAN OTHERS

    sumeet

  7. on 01 Feb, 2008 at 11:02 AM Ravi Shanker

    DEAR SUMIT
    GO FOR BASE MODEL OF UVA 1.2 BECAUSE IT IS HAVING THE POWER STEARING, AC WITH HEATER, MATCHING BUMPERS. BECAUSE THE UPPER MODEL (LS AND LT) OF UVA CUT YOUR POCKET MORE BECAUSE OF POWER WINDOWS AND TINTED GLASS REST IS SAME IN BASE MODEL WHY TO SPEND MORE. IF YOUR BUDGET ALLOWS YOU THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM LS OR LT MODEL. OTHER WISE THE BASE MODEL IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT
    THE UVA IS TROUBLE FREE CAR.

  8. on 05 Feb, 2008 at 04:40 PM Simi

    I am also frm Chandigarh. I too have liked this car better than the Swift and i10, but popular opinion is against GM for 2 reasons:
    1. High spares cost and general non-availability of parts
    2. Low value in the used car market whne you want to sell it after 3-5 yrs.
    Any inputs on this?

  9. on 06 Feb, 2008 at 12:49 PM Ravi Shanker

    HI SIMI,
    THE COST OF SPARES OF UVA IS LESS THAN SWIFT AND GETZ. THE SPARES AVAILABLE WITH STATE OF ART WORKSHOPS OF GM MOTORS.
    2. YES ITS TRUE BUT THE VALUE OF EVERY CAR IN USED MARKET WILL BE LOWER IN FUTURE BECAUSE OF HIGH COMPETITION. THEN WHY TO THINK OF LOW VALUE IN THE USED MARKET

    I am Faizan form Vadodara. I am planning to buy Aveo u-va in two days. Best car i ever came across. I just want to ask.. Is chevrolet accessories value for money..?? specially that body kit which come around 15000 RS..

  11. on 11 Feb, 2008 at 12:31 PM Ravi Shanker

    Hi Faizan
    THANKS FOR WRITING, YES THE ACCESSORIES OF GM ARE VALUE FOR MONEY AS THEY ARE MADE AS PER THE ACTUAL SPECIFICATION AND IT DOESNT HARM AND NO NEED TO ALTER ANY THING FROM THE CAR

  12. on 15 Feb, 2008 at 09:53 PM Raj Katari

    I surprised about issue.TATA Xeta costs about 70-80K less then U-VA.Then why not go for the TATA? Is it due to inferior quality maintained by TATA.If not , then how the others are doing business.

  13. on 16 Feb, 2008 at 09:42 AM Ravi Shanker

    HI RAJ,
    THE MAIN FACTOR IS THE FUEL ECONOMY, THE INTERIORS, COMFORT AND THE INTERNATIONAL BRAND IMAGE OF GM. REST THE CHOICE OF INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL

    Hello Mr Shankar Happy to hear nice things about U-va . It has been mentioned by you that you bought this car only in last NOV then how come you have come across spare parts prices & services etc so early as it is quite unlikely because you have had a recent purchase. Anyway I am very Keen to Know about its mileage otherwise I will have to settle down for Wagon -R . Give honest opinion as your name itself suggests truth. Bye have a nice day

    HI ASHWIN
    THANKS FOR WRITING. REGARDING THE SERVICE AND SPARE, MY TWO FRIENDS ALREADY HAVE THE SAME CAR, BOTH OF THEM ARE HAPPY INCLUDING ME. REGARDING COST OF SPARES, THE FULL HOME WORK WAS DONE BY ME BEFORE PURCHASING THE UVA. SAME U CAN DO. I AM GETTING THE FUEL AVERAGE BETWEEN 15-17KM/LT OF PETROL IN CHANDIGARH. I AM DRIVING THE CAR ON IDEL SPEED OF 50KM/HR TO GET THE MAXIMUM FUEL EFFICIENCY. REST IT DEPENDS UPON YOUR DRIVING HABBITS.

  23. on 02 Mar, 2008 at 06:39 PM Ravi Shanker

    HI VIJAY
    IF YOUR MONTHLY RUNNING OF CAR IS MORE THAN 1500 KMS, THEN THE DISEL VERSION IS GOOD FOR U OTHER WISE GO FOR PETROL BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN IT HARDLY DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THE PETROL OR DISEL CAR IF YOUR MONTHLY RUNNING OF CAR IS LESS THAN 1500 KMS.

  24. on 02 Mar, 2008 at 06:43 PM Ravi Shanker

    HI VIJAY
    REGARDING YOUR SECOND QUERY U CAN LOOK INTO THE GM WEBSITE www.gm.co.in FOR COMPARISON OF MODELS OF UVA. AS PER MY ADVICE THE BASE MODEL IS MORE THAN ENOUGHF, IN 1.2LS POWER WINDOWS AND TINTED GLASSES ARE EXTRA. REST IS SAME AS PER BASE MODEL. THEN WHY TO SPEND MORE? GO FOR BASE MODEL

  25. on 04 Mar, 2008 at 02:20 PM Ankur Chatterjee (Mumbai)

    HI Ravi Shanker,
    Great to get a review from some one who is actually using the vehicle.In 4.5lak budget hatchback choice is limited to

    U-VA
    Swift
    Getz
    i10

    I would like to know the comparison between U-VA and SWIFT. Definitely swift is amuch popular choice in hatchback , however i feel U-VA could be even better choice


    Waiting for your commments

    Hi, i am planning to buy U-VA. my doubt is what is the after sales and services in Hyderabad. I believe in Hyd having only two show rooms it is true ? and tell me the performance of the vehicle.

  31. on 16 Mar, 2008 at 11:30 PM Rajeshs

    Hi, Rajesh from Bangalore. It has been a year since I picked my mid-range U-Va & have done 17000 km. No issues so far, mileage should be around 12kmpl+ and extremely comfortable!

  32. on 16 Mar, 2008 at 11:52 PM Raj Narayan Chatterjee (Indore)

    Hi, I have UVA ls and driven close to 11000 km in a period of 5 months, I am extremely happy and satisfied with my car,in city or highway.Average is good. Why you bother service - service its service free almost. In 10000km you need 3 litre oil and till 45000 km some basic air and oil filters. I beleive as Any car requires it. And yes with respest to segment and industry spares are cheap of chrevolet. GO AHEAD HAVE ONE FOR YOU TOO. NO TENTION . BINDAAS.

  33. on 18 Mar, 2008 at 10:13 PM Narresh Kumar (Pune)

    Dear Mr. Ravi Shanker,

    I am also interested in buying UVA. I admire the way you have replied to all the queries posted to you. And after going through your replies it comes across that either:-
    1) you are working with general Motors (dealer/ employee/ relative); or
    2) An employee/ rep of GM is dictating the answers.

    The review by you is too good to be true. Infact, after reading your review I am having second thoughts about UVA.

    Gagan

  37. on 13 Apr, 2008 at 10:32 PM Ravi Shanker

    DEAR GAGAN
    THANKS FOR SHOWING INTEREST IN MY REVIEWS. I AM NOT WORKING FOR GM(DEALER/EMPLOYEE/RELATIVE) AND NO ONE IS DICTATING THE ANSWERS. I AM A CHANDIGARH BASED I.T. PROFESSIONAL IN GOVT DEPTT AND SERIOUSLLY I AM USING THE SAME VEHICLE. TRULY THIS IS THE EXPERIANCE OF UVA.
    GO TO GM SHOWROOM AND TEST DRIVE IT AND YOU FEEL THE DIFFRENCE AND AFTER THE TEST DRIVE THE UVA WILL BE YOUR FIRST CHOICE.

    HI ADITYA
    SINCE I AM NOT USING THE PALIO STILE 1.1, SO I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL YOU THE TRUE PERFORMANCE OF PALIO. YOU MAY CHECK OUT WITH PALIO DEALER FOR TEST DRIVE AND REST YOU CAN COMPARE BETWEEN THE TWO.

  42. on 23 Apr, 2008 at 02:50 PM Cp

    Dear Ravi,
    Please advise me on the service cost of UVA per service as I want to decide whether to take free maintenance or 10000/- discount. Thanks for the info which I believe shall be based on your friends using it for some years. CP

    ON DATED 23.4.2007, MY CAR WAS SERVICED (FIRST SERVICE) AT GM SERVICE STATION, THE SERVICE STATION CHARGED RS 787/- INCLUDING THE COST OF CONSUMABLES (OIL+FILTER+OTHERS).

    I HAVE NO IDEA REGARDING CNG KIT

  46. on 25 Apr, 2008 at 11:31 AM Ganapati Hegde (Bangalore)

    Hi,
    I am from Bangalore.I want to buy a new car.I have short listed Swift Dzire and U-VA.Due to heavy traffic in Bangalore I zeroed on UVA.Please give your suggestion.
    G.C.Hegde

  47. on 25 Apr, 2008 at 02:32 PM Ravi Shanker

    HI G.C. HEGDE
    Maruti Suzuki has launched Dzire with an introductory price ranging from Rs 4,49,000 to Rs 6,70,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). The petrol variant will cost Rs 4,49,000 to Rs 5,90,000 and the diesel Rs 5,39,000 to Rs 6,70,000. AND UVA STARTS FROM RS. 3.93 LAC (ex-showroom Delhi)TO RS. 4.73 LAC. ONE OF THE BASIC REASON IS THE PRICE DIFFRENCE. IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING A BIGGER CAR IS ITSELF A PROBLEM. REST IS YOUR CHOICE.

  48. on 29 Apr, 2008 at 11:17 AM Hrushi Patil (Thane)

    Hello Mr.Ravi Shanker,

    I am thinking of going for U-VA. The only problem I see is interiors. The gray shade looks bit old compared to Getz (which has dual tone interiors). And cost: Getz - 5,00,000 lack and U-VA @ 5,15,000.
    The question is why I should go for costly vehicle with less appealing interiors.
    Please advice.

    Thanks and regards,
    Hrushikesh

  49. on 29 Apr, 2008 at 02:54 PM Ravi Shanker

    HELLO MR HRUSHIKESH
    The U-VA's fuel economy is good for a car of its size and weight,superb stability and handling give the driver a lot of confidence. Size and space is what makes the U-VA stand out from its main rivals.Ride quality is very good,more leg room. You will find the grey interior only in base model upper models are having Carbon Fiber Finish on Doortrim and power window bezel, Soft feel fabric,or you can check the following link

    or you can go to dealer and have a look on all the three models.

  51. on 21 May, 2008 at 10:28 PM Chewang P Wangyal (Gangtok)

    Please advice why i should go for the Chevrolet UVA LS rather than the Hyundai Prime 1.1 GVS?

    HELLO MR CHEWANG P WANGYAL
    IN UVA OVERALL LENGTH, WIDTH, GROUND CLEARANCE, ENGINE CAPACITY,WHEEL BASE, KERB WEIGHT AND An Optimum Power to Weight Ratio for a perfect mix of performance and great Fuel Efficiency.

    Thanks Mr Shanker. .was confused between the two,as the price of the two brands are almost the same anyway hope your UVA is doing great even after about 7 months.

    Hi,

    how is the after sales service in Kolkata?

  55. on 02 Jun, 2008 at 10:22 AM Ravi Shanker

    YES I AM GETTING THE MILEAGE IN THE CHANDIGARH BETWEEN 15-16KMPL. REST IT DEPENDS UPON, HOW YOU DRIVE AND THE CITY TRAFFIC. ITS A TROUBLE FREE CAR. NO PROBLEM FOUND TILL DATE.

  64. on 10 Sep, 2008 at 10:15 AM Ravi Shanker

    HI DVENU GOPAL REDDY
    THE ROOM SPACE IN UVA IS MORE BECAUSE OF LONGEST WHEEL BASE , CARBON FIBRER FINISH IN INTERIOR, REST THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE UVA IS MORE APPEALING. REST THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

    Aveo U-VA LT 1.2,is really good, excellent look, good cooling, good ground clearance, good interiors, more spacious.Comparing with Maruti Swift, SX4, Getz Prime 1.1,1.3, Ford Ikon 1.3.AVEO U-VA is really superb. Even the colour choice is also very Good. I choose Platinium Metalic.Even my families & Relatives like this car very much.Thanks for the almighty God for showing me this car.In short I can say ADMIRABLE VEHICLE ENVY of OTHERS (AVEO)(U-VA) UNMATCHED VARIETY ACHIEVED.GOD is MIGHTY (GM).by

    We are also in the process of buying a new car and U-VA is a serious contendor. But the issue is whether the Airbag and ABS are availble on the base models also, because we find the other features in the LT model not very useful to us and the price difference is quite high

    Further we are just wondering how UVA will fare compared to Wagon R and Hyundai i 10. Both have all these features including airbag and still priced 1 lakh less

    Any suggestions?

    it seems Mr.Ravi shankar is a GM guy. I recently bought a UVA and in DELHI it is giving mileage of only 10kpl with AC on. I dont know how Mr. Ravi is getting a mileage of 15-16kpl in chandigarh with A/c. Dont know why he is misleading the innocent public???? Too bad. Kamaal from Delhi

    Hi Mr Ravi,
    I am planning to buy hatchback below 5 lacs. I have shortlisted Swift and UVA. But your claim that "UVA IS BEST IN CLASS" SEEMS UNTRUE. AS WE DONT FIND ANY UVAS ON THE STREET. THIS THING IS WORRYING ME. PLEASE CLARIFY ON THIS, ELSE I HAVE TO GO FOR EVER-GREEN MARUTI SWIFT. ALSO DONT TALK ABOUT INTERNATIONAL GM BRAND...THE COMPANY SEEMS GOING TOWARDS BANKRUPTCY.

    Dear Mr.RaviShanker, This is Dr.iyer from Thane. At the outset nice to see your reviews. We are planning to buy car in 5 - 5.3 lakhs segment. FIRST I was interested in Hyundai getz, I heard from a reliable source that there will be no production of getz in India and I -20 will be the modified version of Getz. We are impressed by Cheverolet Aveo UVA 1.2 LS . My wife is interested in Mahindra Renault Logan 1.4 GLE. Please suggest which we model to go for between Aveo UVA or Logan. Tk
