    DRIVING:

    I purchased my car, Getz Prime GLS mid night grey 3 weeks ago and let me tell you, I had a nightmare of the time with the dealer I brought the car from.

    Anyway, Let me start of by listing the pros first and end with the cons as cons is a huge list.

    Pros:

    1. Excellent driving comfort (Please note without AC on)
    2. Excellent suspensions
    3. Great legroom in the rear
    4. Decent boot space

    Cons:

    1. Horrible pick-up with AC on for a 1.3 L engine. Forget about using 4th and 5th gear in city limits.
    2. Poor fuel economy with AC on.
    3. Watch out for the double folding rear seats. It is not quite similar to the double folding seats in an Indica. The rear seats do double fold but not with a 40 - 60 split like Indica. I realized this only upon buying the car. Hard luck!!!.
    4. No remote boot opening lever at driver seat. I fail to understand why this feature is not provided.
    5. No lamp provided in the boot. This feature could have been useful.

    My overall view on Getz GLS is that, it is a good car that provides you a comfortable ride but at the expense of emptying your pocket.

    Secondly, the pick-up is pathetic with AC on. I dont see any difference in pick-up between a GVS 1L engine and a GLS 1.3L engine. The reason that I specifically went for a GLS 1.3 L engine is not to compromise on the pick-up while the AC on. But the whole purpose seems to be lost.

    I hope this review is helps prospective Getz buyers.

    Thanks for taking you time to read this review.
