    Exterior

     Beat is a very good looking car with eye catching exterior.. the car is very well suited for city use as its dimensions are correct..

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     The interior design is also very good and looks very pleasing.. the blue colour lighting is also very soothing..
    The feature list is also very impressive.. it has power steering, power windows, integrated music system, usb, aux and also some optional features like alloy wheels, abs, ebd.. Overall the car is fairly well loaded and the price band is very well suited..
    Talking about the space, it has enough space to seet 4 adults and a kid.. the front seats are very comfortable and have enough knee and head room.. but the rear seats lack shoulder room thus making it fit for only 2 adults.. The boot space is also less as compared to the competition.. but if u already have another car and want a car which has excellent styling and main purpose is in city use then this car perfectly suits your requirement

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     The engine used is a 1l turbo charged engine.. it has a displacement of only 938cc which looks small on paper but due to the turbo charger it is very peppy.. it is well suited for city use but it starts making some noise once you pass 100km/h mark.,. this is because of 3 cylinders used instead of 4.. The gearbox is very sleek and turbo lag is minimal..

    Fuel economy is the best part of this car.. my car is 1 year old and i m getting a fuel economy of 21 in city(delhi) conditions

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride quality is good and the handling is even better.. the car handles really well and you can easily drive your car through tough traffic..  THe only downside of the car in terms of ride quality and handling is that in high speeds the steering wheel remains light and doesnt give you the confidence which you need at high speed..

    Final Words

     This is an amazing package from chevrolet.. style, engine, fuel economy etc

    So my opinion is, if u want a car in terms of styling and handling and fuel economy then this is the best car.. But if you want a family car and you love long drives then this car may not be suited for you

    Areas of improvement  

     Rear shoulder room, ride quality at high speeds

    excellent fuel economy, light and responsive steering wheel, sleek gear shiftlow boot space, back seat suited only for 2, engine noise at high speed
