Give It A Thought Before U Getz!

Exterior Good looking, brilliant european design. a almost 10/10!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feature list is good-A/C,power steering,power windows on all the 4 doors,5 door central locking,tilt adjustable steering wheel. Excellent space utilization, great interior room, legroom is nearly best in on par with sedans worth 7-8 lakhs and boot space of 290lts is simply great! Nice two tone interior-grey and biege (beige can get dirty soon and has to be cleaned frequently),quality of plastics used is good. steering wheel is the same as the one used in verna and feels good to grip on to. Seating comfort is excellent! the rear seat can be reclined by 15 degrees and helps on highway trips.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Even though the engine is primarily santro's, it is controlled by an ECU which is tuned for the getz and it puts out a few extra horses and newton meters(power and torque). Acceleration is good in lower gears but when it comes to roll on acc. it is reallly sluggish!!

Gearbox is smooth and the shift quality is excellent! gearing is slightly on the shorter side and 5th gear is ok with 35kms/1000rpm.(80kmph is around 2300rpm in 5th).

Fuel economy is a big letdown! in bangalore traffic, with 100% A/C the best possible mileage it has returned is 10kmpl! and with the A/C off, it increases by 1.5kmpl! thats really poor! On the highway, at speeds upto 100kmph with A/C the FE is 17kmpl. good! All the above mentioned FE figures are with regular 87octane gasoline.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is just amazing! no issues whatsoever! handling is good if not excellent.

Final Words At 441860 OTR bangalore, it is a great buy but the major concern is the FE in city! Not a car recommended if one is a spirited driving enthusiast.

Areas of improvement None except the FE in the city (especially for an engine as small as that).
