    Exterior Beat has such a catchy look. I have a Sandrift Grey Beat PS & everybody likes its looks. People look up to you when you are waiting at a traffic signal. Design is best-in-class. Body is made up of good quality fibre & is not as lightweight as in Hyundai Eon or Maruti Alto 800. Chevrolet has always believed in quality & I trust its belief.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dashboard looks very decent & sporty at the same time. No cheap quality plastics, no badly designed AC knobs. Everything seems to be perfect.  The Tachometer Console is one of the best attributes & looks really great. Rear is not cramped like in Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai Eon. Enough of leg space. The car can easily accomodate 5 people. Boot space is a bit less but can easily acomodate 2 mid-sized travel bags (at the least).

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very responsive & provides a power of 79 BHP which is the best in its Price Segment. Ford Figo, Hyundai i10 etc. don't stand anywhere (as far as petrol variants are concerned). The car yields around 15Kmpl in city & goes up to 18Kmpl on highways which is quite close to what the company claims (unlike Hyundai). Smooth gearshift with no sound or wreck (as in still persisting in Hyundai Eon even after a makeover).

    Ride Quality & Handling The car feels great to drive & is very good in handling. Turning radius is very less (around 4.8 mtrs) THe car's heaight is so adjusted (brilliant work by Chevy) that it says stable even while taking sharp turns.

    Final Words I own a Beat PS Petrol & got it upgraded with Central Locking & Front Power Windows from Chevrolet itself (Genuine GM Accessories). It feels great to own this car. Chevy is very good in customer satisfaction. This car has proved above the mark (not just upto it) in performance. Chevy usually doesn't make cars with catchy looks (like Hyundai) but all its cars are the best in performance in heir respective segments. However, the car I bought is one of the best in the looks as well. It is defeinitely better than Figo in terms of Ground Clearance & Suspensions as it has no lean plastic hanging out of the body. Don't even think before buying it.

    Areas of improvement None. You can't expect anything more in such a competent price range. I bought it for 3.96 lacs (with free upgrade to Power Windows front & Central Locking Remote). Love this Car.
