My new car.........Finally!! (Whew!!) GETZ Crdi - Team-BHP

iraghava · 3rd February 2009, 21:22

So as many of you know, I had been looking to replace Dhanno for a while now but for multiple reasons, it could never really work out. But today I finally got a new car as it is the Getz Prime!

I know, I know it's like blasphemy but to be honest in the short distance that I've driven the car, it feels pretty good to drive & the engine is pretty torquey too.

Here are some pics of the car:

The thing I don't like about it is that the non-body colour door handles which I intend to get painted pretty soon:

Now I know a lot of you will go after me for the choice of car but unfortunately due to limited finances this is all I could afford at this point of time. And the Honda was eating up too much money in maintenance etc. so I wanted to change her asap.

More about the sale process, future mods etc. later!

Congrats. Nice color. So, whats the mods on the queue

Congrats on your new car!! Waiting to hear on the decision making and what made you take the plunge on this one as well as the future mods being planned for this car!

Ishan, congrats on the new car. I see you have picked a similar shade, you should be in love with that colour

Thinking about it, it does make practical sense and looks like you have let your head rule your heart with the buy. It sure is one peppy lil monster with lots of mod potentials for later on.

Sad that the OHC clan is slowly reducing in numbers.

Mpower · 3rd February 2009, 21:35

Congrats!!
I was expecting to see 5 pics of all the 5 tires.

akshay4587 · 3rd February 2009, 21:38

When i saw Getz i was sure it had to be the CRDI
then i saw 1.1L i still thought it was the CRDI and u debadged her for the sleeper look,but then the Sticker on rear quarter glass shouted 1.1 again.

Nice car and i like the color as i have an accent in same.
So when is tyre upgrade comng up

Hashim · 3rd February 2009, 21:38
