Glorious Glanza a awesome car

Awesome car my first one used to have a car when my dad was around, the only thing is that the suspension is not up to the mark but after driving this car I will not buy any other brand than Toyota.

Good VFM car - Ownership Exp. - 1 Year.

<p align="justify">Hi All,</p> <p align="justify">I&nbsp;have been using Getz 1.1 GLE for the last one year. here are my observations -</p> <p align="justify">1 Comfort - Good leg space and good boot space</p> <p align="justify">2 Ride Quality - Best in class. The weight of the car prevents it from being jumping jack on the road. Good Suspension system ensures pliant ride quality.</p> <p align="justify">3 NVH - inititally high till such time the engine heats up (about 2 mins). post heating up the car is more or less silent. at high revs the car will give coarse noise. Engine seems to abuse you for the rough use you put it to. (after abt 3.5K RPM)</p> <p align="justify">4. Mileage - in city - 12.5+ (bangalore) and highway -15KMPL - the mileage as we all know is a function of our driving style as well. some cars have slight increase or decrease in mileage if we rev the car high. In Getz if you rev it hard, you can expect mileage to go to about 10 as well. However a civilized driving will give 12+. i have consistently got it over the last one year.</p> <p align="justify">5. Gearing - silky smooth gears. since the engine is essentially a re-tuned Santro ERLX engine, and the car is abut 150 KG&nbsp; more than the santro, the car has to be kept in the right gear. However, since the clutch is light and the gear is smooth, it is not an issue. for people who do not like to shift gears, cars with excellent bottom end torque are good like - Santro / Wagon R / Spark etc.</p> <p align="justify">6. Features -like the tilt steering is good. But if there are not too many drivign the car then once you set the steering at the right level you hardle ever change it. hence good to have not must to have.</p> <p align="justify">7. AC - good for BLR. however in sweltering sun, it may prove to be inadequate as other readers suggest. Cant testify for other cities.</p> <p align="justify">8. Dashboard - wide and clutter free. the instrument panel is also clutter free. the dash has speedo / techo / fuel and trip meters. The good news here is that despite Getz having a beige interior, the top of the dashis grey. this is really helpful as beige dash has a high reflection on the main glass of the car.</p> <p align="justify">The dash also has two air vents that are pointed towards the front two windows. when one is driving in extreme cold / moist conditions and turns the AC to the mode in which the front glass gets de-misted, the presence od air flow through the side vents to the front window glass helps to clear the front windows as well. this is very though after.</p> <p align="justify">9.Pricing - cant comment. i found VFM in it. for others it is subjective.</p> <p align="justify">10.Spares - this car carries a Santro engine, hence you can rest be assured of the cost of spares. it is cost effective. often the labour is more than the cost of spares.</p> <p align="justify">Overall - a good car to have. it is not a drivers car for the car enthusiasts but an excellent family car. for a regular commuter like me, it is a good investment that i think i made.</p> <p align="justify">My recommendation - (which Getz to chose)</p> <p align="justify">Drivers Car - Getz CRDI</p> <p align="justify">Family Car (eco) +Mileage - Getz 1.1</p> <p align="justify">Family +Driving Pleasure - Getz 1.3</p> <p align="justify">Hope this review is useful for you. Remember - with Getz, you will not make a wrong choice. Al that you need to chose is the model.</p> <p align="justify">Request - Kindly rate the review so that i can get to know if this was useful to you. if there are some questions, please feel free to write.</p>Space, Ride Quality, Build Quality, In city and highway Driving MannersLacks Power at high revs, Highway overtaking is to be a calculated one
