செவ்ரோலெ பீட் [2009-2011] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

 

Exterior Quite stylish to go for. Have seen Zen Estilo VXi ABS,Swift ZXi,Ritz ZXi,i20 Asta,Beat LT Option Pack and Spark LT for which car with rear wiper and ABS and AirBags.The i20,my favourite,is the best equipped but too pricey.The Swift too,is one of the winners but rear space isn't good.And even I have heard horror stories of Maruti Suzuki s' terrible mileage.Ritz,being a Maruti,had better mileage as it is the 1st BS IV hatch but its odd shaped boot was too small.Spark was good but same as the new Beat,it had a small boot but unlike the Beat it had plasticky interiors.The Figo and Beat are the best cars but Figo s' old-school design didn't appeal to me.Beat is the winner atleast.    

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior gets 10 marks because of the blue lightings.Features more than Hyundai i20 or Skoda Fabia.Boot space can be improved but overall it is a comfortable vehicle.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Like all Chevrolets,it has the best engine performance.Fuel economy is great.Gearbox good.Can be Beat gets LT AT OPTION PACK.  

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride good for highways.Cause getting a hatch,go for Beat.Handling fine otherwise. 

 

Final Words 3rd hatch of Chevrolet.If you have a saloon like Honda Accord of Chevrolet Cruze or Optra,use them for boot space.Has to be Car of the Year 2011 and also Small Car of the Year 2011.Figo won't be Car of the Year 2011.Beat is one of the most powerful car in class and has best style in class.Atleast,Chevrolet has hit the sweet spot.   

 

Areas of improvement Boot space can be better and also performance.

 

Stylish looks,value for money like all ChevroletsNothing in such a good car except boot space in 170 L

 

Exterior This is one of the very few cars not to have that stererotypic look as compared to the i10s, figos and the like. The design is too good when look from the out and this is one of the stand-out features of this car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Although the car looks as a tiny box from the outside, it has lot of interior space. I have seated on both the driver's and rear seats and I have felt comfortable on both these places. Under hatchback cars, I would say that General Motors have done a really good job in the interiors. And not to mention the numerous cup holders, stands, glass holders, sunlight covers etc.,

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine sound is one of the coolest thing in Chevrolet cars, the gear box is easy to handle. One thing that i've noticed is the fuel economy. It might be due to my rash driving within the city limits, using high rpms in low gear. But still this baby manages to give me 9.5 kpl in city driving conditions where I mostly drive on 1st, 2nd gears.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is smooth. I have never felt uncomfortable so far when it has come to handling my chevy baby.

 

Final Words If you buy this car, you will not regret even 1%, trust me.

 

Areas of improvement One area that can be improved is the scope of the driver. Right now, this car may not suit for inexperienced drivers. But then thats just my opinion, I have done great so far with my cocktail greenish chevy baby!

 

Awesome looks, Best value for money carCant think of any

 

Exterior The car looks good with its style. A striking feature is the position of the rear door handle.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The cars interior rocks. The fact that impressed me most was the blue led lights in the interior. Also the auto ac & music system are quite descent.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The cars engine performance is not bad. But the fact that disappoints you is its mileage. The worst I got was 13km/l that was in city. The best was 16km/l. The gearbox of the vehicle is not so good. Some times the gear doesn't fall into 3rd gear.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The cars gives you a good ride quality & the steering is highly fairly responsive.

 

Final Words If you ask me whether to go for the vehicle I'll say YES. Anyone who goes for base models of vehicles like the Nissan Micra, i10, fabia, punto could have a look at this vehicle. I'd say this is a car more suited to youngsters. 

 

Areas of improvement Interiors.

 

Good style, value for money, interiors.Gearbox, mileage

Got my BEAT in MArch'11. Probably few initial one with LT Opt Kit and in eye catching green color. Had to fight hard with GM to deliver my BEAT with preferred color and Opt Kit.

Style is Amazing. Pick up is good while still feel that can be better specially in grea 1. Good power. Sp. when driving on slope, you can make out the power of BEAT. U can feel 1.2lit engine power there.

Gear shifting is bit harder (after many time greasing). Mileage is low (comparatively) but i would say it depends on traffic, road condition and city you drive.

Auto Mirror adjustment from inside is missing feature. Blue tooth synchronization is another aspect to improve.

But still after driving 15000 km of my BEAT, i am very very happy with the performance and still would like to keep driving no matter how many Hatch bk pop up in market like mushrooms in rain. My beat will BEAT them all.

Happy driving.

Good style, interior, pannel and Auto A/c in hatch bk is really good one.Rear leg room is small, millage is bit low compare to other old hatch back

 

Exterior Just looks stunning from the outside!Impressive rear looks! While compared to Figo,Polo,Micra and Swift(I had a bad experience of looks with my Suzuki Swift VXi BS-IV)looks stylish.Grill is from the Chevrolet Cruze and it looks smashing!But it is front that I like the most,in the Cock Tail Green colour which is a stylish hit for such a VFM like Beat!

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Stunning interiors!Climate control was in LT but I opted for LT Option Pack as it had ABS,Airbags and Alloy Wheels.But a small boot limits its appeal. Copy of the Spark boot in 170 litres!But it appeals in in comfort as it will fit five people in comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox An 79 PS engine is excellent a lot!But a 89 PS engine could have beaten the Swift K12M(Though not in competition).Good FE.Good Gearbox.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride and the supple handling is comfortable.

 

Final Words This is Chevrolet s' Devil-Chevy Beat.The best hatch in India!Comfortable in the back,is appealing in looks,has a good cabin and the enhancing big equipment list enhance it.I think it is the best and VFM car in class.A big boot could make its space better but.It has lots of features-

1-Dual airbags

2.ABS

3.Climate control

4.Alloy wheels

This is the best really!Buy the Beat if you want a stylish car.

Exterior Wow!!! I love to watch my car from outside. The look of the car is very much bold, dynamic, sporty. not to miss. Sexyy. The front shape of the car looks very dominant. I think, this type of front look only comes in Chevy.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fact is, when you look Beat from outside, you feel that, it is having less space. But from inside, it is sufficient for the 3 avg adult in back and 2 in front. And interiors is really superb with shiny touch on doors. Missing is beige interiors, its better to have this shiny touch as it amps the sporty look. Dashboard is very good especially in the night with blue light. Odometer looks very sporty. Seats are too good. Only thing I felt needed in the seat is neck rest, other than that evrything else is superb. Automatic Climate Control. Superb!!!

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good. Most of the time I have to press the gas pedal in neutral to verify that engine is on. There is 0.1% of engine sound. Gear shift is very smooth and convinient, Till now, I drove for around 700Km. I got the avg mileage of around 15km/l with AC on. In Highways I got around 18-19kmpl, in city it is around 13kmpl.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I drove in highway and city both. Guess what, I witnessed in my eyes the other vehicle skidded right beside me in the slippery road, but even in 100+kmh, I was able to break the car without even a single problem(may be its because of the ABS???). Driving is awesome, you can take complete turn in small road too. Great turning radius. some time in bigger humps, I felt ground clearance little less(may be I'm new to this car). Gear shift is very smooth. Within traffic, you can easily change the lines without any issues, steering is very good.

 

Final Words Still manything to write in my review but have to restrict the review(Max characters per review 😦). Overall, this is a best VFM car in this segment. Its a perfect blend of technology and beauty. Its a master peice to achieve the greater control and to steer through heavy traffic in city. At the same time you can zoom through the highway with better control.

 

Areas of improvement I dont see any thing is required to improve, but to mention, even in the high end vehicle there is no Keyless entry.

 

Stunning Sporty Dominant Look, Smooth Drive, Smooth Gear Box, Good turning radius in cityIf I compare the car with this segment, cost etc etc, there are no negative points
