I own a ford ikon (my fav), vento, alto, swift & skoda laura. Did not want to buy another Maruti as just plain tired of it. Wanted to buy figo as you can actually see the quality with naked eyes but took my chances with Chevy beat and there started my ordeal. Dealer lied at all instances to me about price, availability, procedures. Got my car after 2 months that too in colour I hated the most. Booked black and got the beige. Also promised me various acc and service but got only half the things that too of lower quality than promised. One thing Chevy cannot keep is its 'PROMISE'.
Exterior Good looks but only from certain angles. Matter of opinion but looks ugly dukkar from the side. cheap feel to the metal of body. Cheap paint work. Though I have read and confirmed that the car is good with safety ratings.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent interior space for this segment. Best for front 2 passangers you can find in this class. Rear seats are acceptable size, surely not small as some reviews mention. Please do note that all seats are relatively smaller than any other car hence you do not get good under thigh support (mostly gets un-noticed). Ok for short trips and not good for long trips. Stock music system is very lame. Cant even upgrade lousy speakers due to odd fitting and specs. You will have to modify and put a custom parcel tray which will eventually mess up the car and produce noises you will not like. Wagon r has lot more and better to offer at the same price.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very quite on idle but starts to roar the moment it is revved. FE is decent at 14.5 Km of Mumbai city and a bit of highway driving with 30% AC. Gears shifts smoothly though not as good as the swift or wagon r. In fact the gear stick reminds me of innova and tavera. 1.2 litre but the car works just like wagon r 1.0 litre. Feels equally puny. Like my mistake, do not think that this 1.2 engine will be the same as swift, i20, sail, amaze.
Ride Quality & Handling I read nuemrous reviews of how nice this car rides though I think all came from first time buyers. This car is jumpy as nothing else. Not made for potholes and patched roads. Slim tyres do not help either. Body roll is evident and not suppose to be so much in this type of car. Steering is hydrualic which is premitive and gives a mechanical feel. Not precise. Do not even think of exceeding more than 100 km/hr unless you are the famous race driver Mr. Chevrolet. I have owned many cars and fixed many myself and this one is the worst in ride quality I have come accross. I have sat in Auto rickshaws with better suspensions.
Final Words Do not purchase any Chevy. They are here only to make quick buck out of market already filled with CON companies. Fact that you are reading this review means you are looking for VFM. Choose Maruti and be happy. Do remember. you get what you pay for!
Areas of improvement: Quality, Sales, Service, Costs. Infact. Chevrolet should leave the country or our Govt should make them as they are making fools out of Indians with 'good looking' cars. This should definetely improve the buying trust of indian consumer.

Exterior Excellent. I have test driven Swift, i10 and Beat, and with the budget I am having I have got the maximum features. I have got Gear Lock, Keyless Entry, seat cover and footmat with LS model.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I found the boot less spacious, also the driver seat must be height adjustable. But again in few days you will get used to it, so its not a very big issue as per my experience. Rest all is good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Till now I have driven 3800+ Km and had my second service. The mileage is around 17.5 - 18 KMPL (Full tank method, without AC).
Ride Quality & Handling Good. I have taken my Beat to maximum of 120 KMPH and still the driving was comfortable.
Final Words I can suggest that you can definetely go for Beat.
Areas of improvement Boot space, height adjustable driver seat, If you want any personal queries you can definitely contact me on my email id.

Exterior Superb, rich looking.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Interior of the Car is very very good.5 people can sit comfortably in the Car.The Legroom in front and rear is very good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best in Class.
Ride Quality & Handling Initially I felt car is little difficult to handle in the heavy traffic of city but gradually I found it is ok, and finished 3000 Kms of drives, which I felt the price of the car is justified & Worth full with the performance, which the car gives me on road, it is giving me good mileage of 14-15kmpl in city areas, & 18-19 kmpl with AC at Highways. Its running is very-very smooth, sometimes I felt low pickup, with AC at low rpm, but it is manageable to me (keeping mileage factor in the mind). Whether in city or on highways, the car has always given me a drive with cozy feel specially at the high speed. BEAT is a low cost, high powered,cozy pack on the wheels. Regarding the services after sales, little improvement(for GM) required, hopes it will be also good in the future.
Final Words KAM PAISE MAIN SUPER stylish CAR.
Areas of improvement Its head lights are very attractive but little elevated out side from its corners, which may get broken by side kissing from any object .
Stylish, Good mileage in Highway, smooth drivingLow seating position of driver seat,Boot space is not at par

Exterior No doubt it looks very beautiful particularly from front and sides.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space is adequate for 5 passengers. cushions are good and leg place is moderately good and better than cars like hyundai zing, i10. ride comfort is good thanks to the performance of shock absorber.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth, silent and good pick up. I drive in the vizag city and am getting between 12 to 13.2 km/litre. i find that is a good performance. As regards changing of gear, company could have limited the play of gear liver while changing gear position. But that is not at all an issue.
Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable and driving is a really a pleasure with beat.
Final Words I purchased beat in Septr'10 after test driving i10, wagon R, K10 and figo. I have driver now 1500km. I am very happy with my decision of purchasing beat. I have not faced any problems with this car so far. another attraction of beat is the reasonable price which I found is the best in this category. With the free package comprising 3 years of complete free service with consumables, I think GM is giving an unmatchable offer.
Areas of improvement Honestly speaking i don't find any drawback for this car. Regarding less boot space, if there were any possibility to do anything on that count company would have done it before launching.
beautiful look, good fuel economy, good shock absorber, extremely silent and smooth engine,less boot space

Exterior This Car has best exterior look I have ever seen. First Saw this car in English movie. but that was even more aggressive looking. Good solid body. Very Aggressive styling. You will be Fool enough to compare with Marutiiiiiiiiiiis No ass looks.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Dash board, good fit and finish, Nice Seats, Good music system, missing bluetooth connectivity.The steering column-mounted instrument cluster displays a LED backlit analogue speedometer, LCD digital tachometer and ice-blue illuminated controls, which enhance its sporty appeal and functionality. Beat LT comes with Power Steering, 4 Door Power Windows, Body Coloured Internally Adjustable ORVMs, Tilt Steering. It's interior comes with numerous storage compartments, which are convenient for storing objects like sunglasses, cups, bottles and CDs.
Automatic climate control A/C maintains programmed temperatures by automatically switching between heating and air conditioning modes, Beats 60:40 split-folding rear seats provide flexible seating and extra boot storage options. Its Integrated CD / MP3 Player with An AM / FM stereo Radio which also includes a USB port and an auxiliary input jack for playing your favourite music. Beat has 4-star NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) Safety Rating out of Possible 5-star.
The Automatic climate control A/C option is really cool in this car, the A/C chills instantly at temp of 22 deg Celsius or below, the fan speed is good but it is little nosie below 17 deg setting. The leg room in the front rows seat are good for 6 footers like me & they can comfortable sit in these seats. Even after the front seats full pushed back there is sufficient leg room for people measuring 5.5ft. Beat can easily accommodate 3 normal people in the back seats but if someones overweight then comes the problem. And any six footer sitting at back near windows will find it difficult with only inches of space between their head and cars roof...
The Music System in the car is really good but the speaker fitted in the car are not top notch quality that one can get in the market & ice-blue illuminated controls panel in the car looks really cool at night while driving, the controls are nicely placed in the car, one can easily get used to it after driving for a while.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Main USP of car is its performance. Turn off the Engine and man this car runs like anything. Good Handling. Little lighter Steering. bit bumpy ride on very rough patches.
Ride Quality & Handling Very fun to drive. Good manouverability.
Final Words Buy if you like to drive the car.Common man change your perception. Go buy Chevy.
Areas of improvement Bluetooth connectivity.Rear tail light moisture problem.
Good styling, good economy, Mind blowing engineless boot space

Exterior Coolest in this segment.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good leg space for front seats and enough for rear one, front seats are too comfertable and never make you tired even when u drive for long the good thing in it is that it takes the shape of ur back that give pressure distributed all around ur back and not as in the i10, cento, swift and ritz all the pressure is at the center of ur back which make you tired very soon. It looks smal from out side but when you sit inside it is like big cars.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It has a grest pickup and best breaking system i never heard the skiding sound of my beat even i when i applied it at the speed of 165 km/hr and it stops very quikly and that too with the smooth decreasing of speed. clutch is very soft, gear shift is ok but grip is like airoplane wide hold gives you a confident feel while driving.
Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth and even thrilling. as i drive it, i feel as it understand my feeling and mind as if connected to my mind and it get driven automatical.
Final Words you can feel only when you try to drive it on highway. Top speed i reached is 165 km/hr it could go even higher but due to trafic i had applied breaks.
Areas of improvement BOOT space need to be increased. Need a CNG approved on it as other cars i10, cenro swift, etc do have.
Diffrent looks, Solid Suspention, Great Breaking control, enough hard searing you will love to driveBoot spase is very less. no other issue with this car.
