Full Review

I bought it on 22 Oct 07, today on 24 Jan 08 I have clocked 11000+ Kms.

While purchasing I considered 1. Boot Space, 2. Elegant Design, Power, Wheelbase

I am getting 16.5-17kmpl, I drive more highway, less city avg speed 80-90 km.

I like its looks, space, comfort power, Gear Shift, silent cabin, you have to tell that its a diesel

Backrest of rear seat has 3 level this gives more boot space

-----------------------------------------------------------

I feel the braking could have been better.

If you hit a pot hole the disc bends a bit, it happened twice to me, I think the the car/engine is heavier for strenght of the disc.

Headlights should be brighter.

Hemant its been more than a year since your purchase. What is your current take on the car ? Also could you kindly mention what deal you have got on this car ?

Fantastic power to wt ratio delivery rocketing acceleration and top speed. Upgrading tyres is a personal choice but remember wider tyres will equal better traction but more rolling resistance. Think if you need so much rubber? Fuel efficiency is again subjective. If you have a lighter foot and coast more than brake hard... you are bound to sip less. Lack of abs can be made up with the right tyre choice. Do a thorough research on the kind of tyre that will suit the kind of road u will go on.

IS GETZ CRDI OVERPRIZED IN COMPARISON TO SWIFT DIESEL

Hemant Mandlik on 06 Jul, 2008 at 09:31 PM

Hi Satbir: Power-Pickup: Drive with 5 adults+luggage+AC Space-Comfort: Make 3 adults sit at rear seat, Build quality Legroom angle of rear seat boot space interiors visibility:Driver Seat Gear shift 3 level adjustable reat seat: Hyundai mention this as a comfort feature, but it adds to boot,on longer drives when you stuff MORE luggage. I have put 25 dozen mango cartons Fuel Eco:18 kmpl betn 100-140, Swift will give you more. but all this comes for that extra buck
