I bought my Beat LT in 2010, Black Color. it price be nearly 5 Lac. This is very important for anyone to buy a small car worth 5 Lacs and need to do lot of research. Along with me 2 of my friends were also buyed Beat. We were planning from 2 month to buy a car. After we manage finace we Started doing the research and taking the feedback from the small car owners. We met aroung 180 people woh owns different cars.
After taking the feedback from the people around us we come to point out few Major things we would experience in buying a small car at first instance.
1. Exterior
2. Interior
3. Space Inside
4. Driving Comfort
5. Driving On AC
6. Pick up
7. After Sales Service.
Look as a normal person it is very difficult for a person to discuss about the engine. I had seen people in their reviews speak that DHOC enging in good, Duratec is bad or Smartec is better.
But a decision to but a car is only made on major facts of its interior and Exterior view. When we were doing the research we found that all the companies are using 1.2 cc engine and almost 98% od the features are same at some price variant. Now how to choose which brand to go?
Then we went to take real view and test drives. First we went to see Maruti Ritz VXI. When we enter the Showroom, we found that it is over crowed by the people. The Show room was in the name of Anand Motors one of the large seller of Maruti cars at my home town. We taked to the reception lady and she told me to wait for some time. We waited for around 1 hour and even no one offered us water. After a long time one of their sales manager got free and asked me, what we are looking for. We asked to take a test drive of Rits and Astar. When i get in side the A Star at driver seat i foung the Tachometer and Speedo meter very ugly shape. Such a Big Meter they put up there its really look very odd. I immediately get out of the car because i dint like it at all, My friends also dint like that as its a small car with small dashboard and huge meter was completely odd. Then we went to take a test drive of Ritz. It was a good car we drive it and found the same good. It was spacious feels good to drive. We thought Ritz to be one option. But one thing i found very negative in Exterior that when we look at the back of Ritz its back is some what damped it which look littile odd to us.
Then after that we went to look at ford figo. The card look gr8 but the leg space was less and when i sit at driver seat my legs touches the dashboad bottom. So we decided not to go for the same.
Then we went for Skoda Fabia. The car is really good and very nice its look gr8 , we drive it and we found it extremenly nice. But the price segment was going high, it was costing us 6 lac for the top model so we decided not to spend more than 5 lac in small car so we rejected the same.
Then we went for i10 (old versing). It was good in driving but i dint like the seats of the same. and there is some effect of AC on engine when we drive it on position. It lacks some powe on on AC. The looks were gr8 and interior war really good. We took it as our 2nd option to buy it.
Then we go to look for Beat. the car looks great from outside. Small car with such exceelent look. The first look of beat was so impressing that we made our mind that whatever car we buy shoul looks like this. Exterior Looks were too great that there is no chances for FIGO , RITS, i10 , Fabia to comapare it. When we look inside its look like a cokpit of aircrat you are sitting in. Chevy had really beat all the cars in interior and exterior view. The dashboard is so dynamically design that it really enhance the beauty of interior. Now we took the test drive we were really amazed by the pick up. And the driving comfort was exceelent. Some people say it loose its performance after 25 km . Its all fake , the performance is really exceelent we drive it for around 140 kms before buying it. On AC you will not find any load on the engine and the performance is smooth.The AC cooling is really effictive and when you drive in night the real looks of interior is seen inside. U will love it. Its amazing all icyblue oght with automatic climate control and digital tacometer. Really very easy to read your speed, check ur fule , indicators. All are very systamataclly design.
Now we were to take final choice, We decided on that following points for i10, Ritz
Exterior Beat was really good
Interior Beat was eceelent
Space Inside Almost same in all cars, the boot space in beat is less by 20 lts. but it hardly matter as in small car we usually have very less boot space. 3 suitecases cannot be places up at once in all small cars.
Driving Comfort Same in all car, But better in Beat inter terms of digital Tachometer, Automatic climate control, Extremely better design dashboad, Icyblue lights in all interior.
Driving On AC Ritz and beat was same.
Pick up Beat is better in pick up.
After Sales Service Maruti was better in providing service, That too with hyundai. But on Beat we were getting 3yrs maintenance free scheme on which we dont have to pay single penny 3 yrs services were completely free.
So now our major concern was the looks so we choose beat, and we buyes 3 beat at good offer price.
Now its 2012 and i drive my car for around 2 yrs, I had not spend any single rupee on my car maintenance till now. Only i have paid for 3M polish and anti rust treatment i done on my car from service centre. Rest i dint experience any problem till now. Its driving in same condition, same pick up and better milage after 3rd service. I am presently getting 18 on highway and 14 in the city on AC.
If you want to buy a best car and value for your money and a comfort for your family. Get the BEAT with peace of mind.
