I, Sanjeev Sharma from Chandigarh purchased the Aveo-UVA LS (Rein forest Green) on 31.03.08 and I am very much satisfied with my car performance as


It gives a comfort, smooth & quite(noiseless) drive. Very quiet & comfortable cabin. Good Leg room & suspension is superb. Small car having big car space from inside.Three person sits comfortably at rear seat.


On Highway I was amazed to see the performance of this vehicle. Very much stable on the highway (plain as well as in hill area) ---just touching the ground going FLAT. Totally amused. AC is also effective.


Slight low power and when you are driving on hills having narrow road, numerous turns, hot & humid outside and above all the AC is ON then you face some problems (My Experience) other wise its NICE & GOOD car.

Regarding its fuel economy in city, truly speaking I am getting 13-14 (approx) at 50km/hr without AC before its first service.


First service is over after 1100kms. Now I am getting 13-14 km in city drive like Mohali (Highly crowdy, Narrow roads and Huge nos. of traffic lights) and that is with AC ON.


Petrol consumption on highway earlier it gave 16-17 km at 60-65 km per hour (AC ON) and now15-16 km at 80-85 km per hour (AC ON ).


Contacted with the dealer he assured that after second service there will be further improvement in fuel economy.


Nice and supportive service team.


If compare to Swift and Getz it is nice and good car.

    Hi Anurag,
    Its nice to see your message. First decide what actually you want? Space, comfort, power etc.
    If you are looking for power then SWIFT has more power than UVA. Space comfort noiseless engine and driving pleasure, you will get in UVA. Main thing is Budget also. I am happy with with UVA, small car having feeling of big car. These days you can also check FORD IKON Price 4.5 lac. Big car powerful engine. Still need advice feel free to contact me.

    Hi guys,
    I m going to buy my first car next month and I m very much confused between U-VA and swift.Sanjeev has already given good review for U-Va that continue keep me for U-VA. What my desires for my first car are:budget-max 4.5,High priorities-looks(exterior&interior)&comfort in driving.About mileage,i think both(swift & u-va) have almost similar,so hardly matter.Now, m also thinking about i10 as it have good interior and low price.Resale value not matter but good maintence.Plz suggest me

    Hi Dinesh,
    You can check Magna 1.2 with Kappa 1200cc engine slight more than UVA but you have to compromise with the space as there is differene of 100mm in wheelbase.Both are nice car.Interior--OK in both cars & Exterior--I like the UVA.Test drive both cars before buying. All the best.

    Great review and feedback Sanjeev. I'm trying to decide between the i10 kappa magna and the UVA LS. The Chevy dealer is a friend and will offer discounts. My priorities are easy maintenace and space. Should I go for the U-VA even though its a little more expensive?

    Hi Benjamin,
    Thanx for the compiment. Both are nice car. Test drive them. Seeing your priorties I will suggest UVA-LS. Pricewise there is hardly difference. All the best.

    Can you clarify about the cashless ownership offer. Do you pay an extra amount at the beginning for this 3 years maintenance

    Should I go for the 1.2 Base and add on the power windows and the central locking (Total 15000 extra). The 1.2LS costs 50000 more and I wonder if it is worth it - I'm on a tight budget

    Hi Benjamin,
    Sorry for the delay. These days scheme is there 1year free insurance and 3 years cashless service saving of Rs.35000-40000. Regarding budget yes you can opt for base model adding power window and central locking. All the very best.
