    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    Not Purchased

    DRIVING:
    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?



    great style, lots of space,great drive comfort, great suspension,good interiorstoo early to find any, may be frequent gear shift
