Dude, is this some new Chevy dealer in Bangy? Never seen a ARAS motor advt. sticker!

@Nimz: He's already got the Chevy teddy- I could see him relaxing at the back of the car

Can you please the FE of your U-VA. One of my friend was asking for it so that he can make a decision on what car to buy.

Hi all,

In Bangalore, dealer fills 10 ltrs of petrol as complementary offer. Along comes, antenna, floor mats, a set of head light bulbs and reflector sign to be used in breakdowns.

Drive so far has been pleasent and swifty.

Congrats Kumar...!!
Car looks good and the colour is even better..

Yes ...GM provides fromt power windows...Pretty cool goes with the interiors and looks like orignal fitting. One cool feature if windows left open and u lock the car ..windows roll up automatically ...got the antenna from GM for 700 .. not got the wheel cap or alloys..still wondering ..anyways the orignal wheel cap does not appeal to me at all

Any suggestion ??

My first service due in another 10 days ...any suggestion on how to deal with gear shoft problem with the dealer ??

I am getting about 12.12kmpl until now:: (640Kms in about 52 litres; 50% AC, 70% of city driving)

With AC On, the engine seems very much underpowered, but in Bangalore, we dont need the AC so much.

@Gaurav: I didnt know GM accessories have the Power windows kit now. What about the antenna and wheel caps, have you got them done? Or did u get urself alloys?


@Dwarka: I've seen the icy blue - me thinks the icy blue colour looks the best on a UVA. Congrats, dude !

Thanks buddy. I have clocked 1k kms yesterday and giving the car for first service on 21st sept. So far I am very happy with the UV-A. As I said earlier, it is swift on road and perfect braking. Mileage not checked so far. I would have filled 90 ltrs. petrol so far. still have about 10 ltrs in tank

Means apprxly, 11 kms per ltr. Is that good or bad. My initial speed is 60-80 kmph., mostly with AC on.

I am longing to take it on spin on long drive of about 1000 kms in 2 days.

Keep contributing your views.

Warm regards,
Dwarak

hi dwarka,

my Fe's reduced now to 11.something. Dont know why? must be because i'm pushing the car too much nowadays..

btw, I got my ICE done yesterday. Its a Pio 7950U + Illusion Electra 6.1 components in the front.

Will post a detailed update in the ICE section related to this...

Btw, now I'm used the horrible gear shift. So no problems there too.

Heyy Guys!

(thts the temporary place u can check out my car pic. will post properly soon)

My first post and i m probably putting it in the wrong place. Neways here is my take on the U-VA baby.

Performance is wonderful EXCEPT for that gear shift situation. But otherwise great overall performance. personally a first car for me( i m still on my learners btw :P) my dad is the one driving it mostly for now.i do drive it within a particular radius of my place.

We actually went to the shwroom to book the higher end LT variant, but since the sales guy said tht our particular choice of color wudnt be available for 3-4 weeks so finally with regret we settled for the mid version .. but we put all the add-ons tht the higher end version had except for the rear defogger n wiper-washer unit which cant be "added"... but we can totally do without...
We replaced the steel wheels with the alloy ones tht comes with the higher end.. + changed the side mirrors(OSRVM) n door handles with same body colored types(as provided in the higher end one) + added fog lamps (as provided in the higher end one)
See , basically wht the higher end version has is mainly cosmetic changes... so we added wht all we liked and was useful..
now the mid version comes for 5.19 on road while the higher end comes at 5.66 ..but u wud certainly HAVE to take sum extra things for the higher end as well.. like the security feautures the audio etc. so tht would come to about 5.89 +audio (say 10-12k)
so we actually saved about 27k by getting the LS(mid version) and putting all the add-ons(wheels+fog lamps+body color mirror n handles etc.)+securitysystem (7.5k)+audio(sony xplod @ 7k+rear triaxial blaupunkt 6"x9" ovals@2450+front sony 2 ways@ 2200)
so thts a real gr8 save-off...

done 520 km till now...WILL SOON POST IN DETAIL REVIEW ABOUT F.E etc.

Hi,

FE reduces for two reasons. One over throttle and second constant changing of gears. i.e. city driving with AC in both cases.
