Bougth the car 15 days back. the model is 1.1gle at 4.35L on road mumbai (got the benifit of reduction in excise duy, dealers discount, corporat discount, total = 40,000), colur midnight grey. thought not to pay 45k extra for just power windows and central lock(gvs). I am new Car user and did quite a lot research before buying.
narrowed down on Getz ar after evaluaing Swift, UVA and Getz.
Reasons for choosing Getz:
1. Swift's engine more responsive, but poor on mileage(user's feedback), much more expensive (vxi costs 5.06L on road, no discounts), cramp rear space, less legroom for driver, my legs touched the steering,( I am 6ft plus so needed it), poor buid quality ( user's review), no tilt steering, no split seats, poor interiors compared to getz. Also i didn,t like the fatty looks. only thing in it's favour is peppy engine and Maruti name.
2. Uva - a good car. Good responsive engine and great looks. Also free sevice for 3 years. Price a bit high, 5.05L for ls model.
lots of space, both headroom and legroom.but poor interiors, poor plastic quality i think, no split seats, to be frank this is a good car. i didn't go for it only because: i). poor interiors ii).no visibilty on road even after 2 years of launch, that really baffels me so thought to avoid it and iii) high price 4. GM brand not reliable in India
Finally Getz:
1. great interiors and styling - i love it, especially it looks great in midnight Grey colour.
2.Value for money at 4.35L ( after discounts and price reducion)
3. Extremely comfortable ride Quality comparable to  Fiesta, City, i really loved the ride , gear shift is so smooth and very easy driving
4.Lots of space, Headroom and legroom
5. Better milegae, i have driven around 400 kms in 15 days and i got around 9-10 kmpl (with AC on always and madning mumbai raffic), i think its good considering I am  first time driver, the mileage i am told will improve afer first service, will update soon on that.
6. I never felt it is underpowered( may be because this is my first car and i do not have much experience of driving other cars), with silken gear shift u can easily adjust.
7. also AC is quite o.k. but not like high power engines. but the AC extremely effective in the evening,even on level 1 it's enough and in the blistering Sun u need it on level 3 to cool.

At last I would say I am extremely satisfied with the car, just needs to check on the mileage part after first service,if I get 12+ i will be extremely happy.

For any querries feel free to ask?

    Hi, It is a very nice review and comparision. I am totally confused between i10 and getz. We are family of 4 and I am 5.11 ft and my father is 6.3 ft. It would be very helpful if you can share your research between i10 and getz in rear leg room (6.3 ft person seating in rear), boot space and engine aspects. Getz give 1 or 2 kms less milage than i10 and i am ok with that as my usage is very limited (maybe 300 kms per month). I am also concerned on the engine, heard that i10 is having more advanc

    Hi, It is a very nice review and comparision. I am totally confused between i10 and getz. We are family of 4, I am 5.11 ft and my father is 6.3 ft. Please share your research between i10 and getz in rear leg room (6.3 ft person seating in rear), boot space and engine aspects. Getz give 1 or 2 kms less milage than i10 and i am ok with that, my usage is will be only 300 kms per month. Heard that i10 is having more advanced engine than getz. Your views will help me choose the better. Thanks.

    i10 is a smaller car with the same engine as getz, so on the engine response side it is better, also i10 is say 1-2 cm taller than getz, but the rear and front legroom is much more in getz, also the width of getz is much more than i10. i myself is 6'3'' and i don't have an problem in getz. one very important thing is that the ride quality of getz is much superior than i10, the ride is very bumpy in i10, especially for the rear passeng. boot is enough in getz and much more than i10.
