Previous car: Swift Vxi 2005 model one of the first 100 cars sold in Bangalore
Sold on: 25th August 2008.
Was really tough to let go of my car, which has taken me through thick n thin. Booked a Passion red (my son's fav color) Getz CRDi.
Reasons for selecting Getz:
My Office is due to be shifted from a 7 km driving distance to a 21 km driving distance in September. translated to close to Rs. 300/day in costs. Diesel with close to 15 kmpl (as claimed by many bhpians) would translate to costs less than Rs. 150/day.
I had done 50,000 km in my Swift over a period of 3 years and loved every second of it, almost done with my company car lease so thought of letting her go.
Wanted to own a car with over 100+ horses and within my company lease limits of Rs. 5.5 lakhs ex-showroom
Did not want to go for a Swift DDiS - the waiting period sucks
No Indicab for me
Vista - well got to know of it only after I got confirmation on the arrival of my Getz
Palio Stile: No Comments
So left with one choice and thats the Getz rocket hatch.
Eagerly awaiting the delivery of my car tomorrow and will give a detailed first impression of the car and the service of Advaith Hyundai, Bangalore.
Until then adios my dear Swift :(
