Drive your Way with new Getz Prime

I think this is the right time to post my initial experiences with new Hyundai Getz Prime. Please note that this review is purely based on only driving experience and has got no technical information/comparison of any kind. There are lots of other places to look for this information.

 

I got a GVS model (Deep Pearl Blue) a week back and till date I have driven 220KM.

 

My experiences is summarized as follows

 

1. Mileage

This one is interesting. I am getting an unbelievable mileage of 14.6/Litre. The reason I am saying that this is an unbelievable figure is people who are aware of Calcutta (Kolkata) city traffic conditions would understand.

 

Mainly I commute from my home to office which is an absolute regular drive comprising of 4 KMs up and down and the traffic is an absolute mess. If I set out from home slightly late say beyond 9 AM, you just cannot drive the car in 4th gear forget about 5th. The cars moves like a big serpent with on and off you switch between 3rd to 2nd gears and almost half of the way you keep on pressing the clutch.

 

In this kind of situation getting the above quoted mileage is unbelievable. I still have doubts whether my calculations are right.

 

One more thing to emphasize, the mileage is without AC on.

 

2. Power steering.

I have been driving Ambassador in early days and then Daewoo Matiz (the lowest model without Power steering). This is one of my most favorite features every time I drive my Getz. The car takes U turns which are almost always in Calcutta, like a cake walk. I never feel that I am driving<

Great value for Money and very comfortableAC - Not upto the mark
