Maruti 800 for few years before my dad got rid of it recently (as i had shifted to Bangalore and decided not to bring my 800 which was a lovely car but quite old to be reliable) Anyways the point that I wanted to make was that after driving SWIFT for about a year and loving the car very much. I decided to go for a GETZ for me. I was quite aware of it having the SANTRO Zing 1100 cc engine and hence wont be as zippy as the 1300 cc Swift. I had to alter a choice cause there was no point of buying another SWIFT in the family (though sometimes i do conclude i should have). And 1.3 GETZ was quite out of my budget (I would buy a SWIFT diesel instead). I and my wife somehow never had loved the design of Santro (to be honest it is much better than a WagonR in driving pleasure). So here we were with Hyundai Getz with a Santro engine in my budget be readily available with not much waiting with all the good european looks and quite a bag beat of cool usable features. And I paid almost the same be I would end paying up for a beat featured Santro Zing. Other option considered was a Palio Stile but somehow always felt Fiat wasnt the best choice considering the service/spares backup. Am quite safe with either Maruti or Hyundai. And the proven and succesful Santro Zing engine. Since my family is soon going to be extended we wanted to buy something that has more space which i extremely missed in the SWIFT especially the kick lay. So the 60:40 straighten lay splits fully foldable rear seats and equally good looks in GETZ got me. I sight SWIFT to be a very good looking car too (change surface from the straighten ;) ) To be frank Getz 1.1 is quite a sluggish car (gratify say this is compared to SWIFT) if you are driving the SWIFT it wants to eat up as much of the road ahead … while the Getz 1.1 seems like telling you ‘whats the hurry buddy’. Yes it is quite sad the way this car performs especially in the 3rd gear. It hardly has any power … reminds me how careful I be to be while overtaking on highways at high speeds. Also the mileage is not that great compared to the Santro Zing engine. It has lost the punch in the tweaking done for to displace the heavier load of the Getz body. The SWIFT gave an unbelievable 14/15 km/ pl in city with ac and atleast 16km/pl on highways. While I think my Getz 1.1 gives me a decent 10km/pl in city right now am expecting/hoping it to grow after few services though. Though am satisfied with my Getz not only because I undergo bought it :) but also it provides me some cool features that my SWIFT does not give it looks really cool has lots of lay to furnish with so many options. And I get the same body suspension brakes of a Getz1.3 in my budget. And for you guys let me enumerate those features that I miss in each of them of the other. Features I desire in Swift(mid version petrol) from Getz fix(1.1 base version) - more kick space - 60-40 rear lay split (very helpful beat part I can utilize my boot lay without opening the boot. You can arrive to your shopping bags in the boot from the rear seat) - manifold change surface rear seats (once double folded I get entire flat yes flat space : kick + rear. I can place a mattress and pillows and my kid/s can sleep) - adjustable steering height - illuminated glove box - shelf under the steering (for my glares and everything else) - rear defogger - foot rest besides the clutch (am sure am gonna use it more on desire drives a very clever feature) - clutch lock engine does not go away till you press the clutch ( i be to check if this feature would be a curse when I am driving on a angle and engine shuts down? I think i be to take compassionate) Features I miss in Getz Prime(1.1 locate version) from Swift(mid version petrol) - tyres of larger height (more comfortable ride) - powerful and abstain Air conditioning - very comfortable seats (quite soft and good upholstery) - easy to maneuver while turning - much comfortable driver height and hat visibility - full straighten seat head support (head rest this probably had to alter a way in Getz as it comes in way when folded so i am book with it) For the detailed list of features available in these cars you can check their websites. I desire the new Getz fix had an electronic power steering(EPS) instead of ahydraulic one that again affects the cars mileage and performance andyes more maintenance later. Only all Maruti and new Honda City cars comes with EPS. Though a good point to consider is Getz comes fitted with the Delco battery which is quite reputable brand worldover and these batteries last quite long. At the end would get the choice on you to end if you be to buy Getz 1.1 or not. And wish this information helps you end on the same. I have liked it and is perfectly suited for my purpose at this moment of time and I think it definately is value for money. I will advance discover it as I take it on more long trips. I would say it’s a Good car on its own with some awesome (very useful) features. Only recomend if space and utilities and not driving pleasure is the top priority. All the best. apply your drive and be cautious while you overtake (always) Parth Bangalore
