Purchased GVS 1.1 model a month back, here is its review:
PROS:
- Easy to get in & out
- Spacious, comfortable, refined, smooth, good suspensions
- Truly a sedan – except for a boot, but still got good boot space of 290L
- Spacious & comfortable drive for rear passengers as well
- Many ppl think of power issue here, don’t bother abt it, its adequate & torque is perfectly in b/w santro & getz 1.3. Torque & BHP is remapped according to the extra weight. 1.1 GVS is 200 kg heavier than santro & 50 kg less than getz 1.3. Considering GVS over santro wld be a wise decision & one would never regret. Moreover its personal driving skill also, many times I’ve been able to beat other cars in a pickup race.
- Trust me one would not think of power issue here, I’d personally bought pulsar bike over splendor for more power & wanted more power over my Alto also, but here I’m so satisfied with d car that I don’t mind lil bit less power !
- Gear box soooo smooth, its like playing with a toy !!
- Hydraulic steering more stable but takes some time to get used to over EPS
- Rear seats completely foldable increasing space to (my guess) 900+L & a person could sit there & relax also, children could sleep etc
- Cubby holes & small storage spaces good enough, 60:40 split in rear seat really helped me
- A/C extremely effective if u close vents on one side, its sufficient / avg with both side vents open & at blower 1st level
- Extended bumpers all round d car. Helps in congested city traffic (like in B’lore)
- Tilt steering v useful & really helps – one can chose whichever position one wants at any point of time at just a lever change
comfort, space, NVH factor, good interiors, rear space, boot spaceslightly bumpy on potholes, slightly less thigh support for driver, fuel economy
