The feeling is great
Slower no way!? I think this would take the pants of the Verna in the initial thanks to its gear ratios.

6.60 OTR + Upsize rims+rubber + Braking work or additional rear discs = way above 7Lakhs

Hopefully they will atleast offer 4 discs or ABS for a similar price.

Dangerously powerful. Beating everyone can depend on the situation and the person behind the wheel.

If you have some experience with the Verna then you can get an idea what the engine noise is like. It could distinctly be heard as the sales person pulled up beside the showroom with the car.
Cabin noise is minimal and with the A/C on you cant really tell. No vibrations.

We own a 1.3 petrol and IMO the CRDI suspension seems to have been worked upon considerably. Smooth ride as I did take it through some rough patches.

If you read my report post TD you will realise this is what the car is really lacking in. For daily running and city use the braking is fine. I did do some sudden braking for judging the capability, its not hard at all but with only 2 discs it leaves a lot to be desired.

I would think the power available in the initial gears are much better than that of the Verna. Seems like Hyundai has done a great job with the gearbox which results in some addictive low torque.
Again to say best among all depends upon the situation.

I think swift would still rule in terms of FE. From the performance or enthusiast standpoint also the investment of 29k for the tuning box would ensure better availability of power and overall driveability.
2. NVH / Vibration -
The DDis is the silent killer. Its hard to distinguish a petrol vs diesel to be honest. I think during the initial run in period some folks might have encountered some vibration/tightness in the gears but it all seems to disappear once the car has clocked a few thousand k's.
Shortly TBhp will witness a FFE job on a pete'd VDi that can really put to test the noise aspect of the engine.
3. Suspension/Ride quality -
No questions asked, this is where the Getz scores. This is based on my experience with the Petrol. I think an upsize of 16" wouldn't cause much havoc to the ride quality (depending on choice of tyres.)
Choosing comfort oriented tyres maybe the only option available to swift owners.
4. Braking -
The braking on the DDis I TD seemed very adequate and capable. IV no experience with the ABS version but I can only imagine being confidant on our wonderful highways. I will tell you my thoughts on the CRDI in a moment.
5. Pickup/Accelaration -
1.3 DDis vs 1.5 CRDI ?
Getz of course wins here as the stock DDis wouldn't be able to wage against it.
With a filter + chip the DDis would put up a good stiff fight.

Lets me be honest, what are your requirements?
With the cost of 6.60 OTR you need to budget another 35k for new rubber and rims which is imperative.
Also sans ABS this car is a real threat to those with a heavy foot. Iv already hatched the plan of scouring Hyundai workshops for crashed cars from which I can pick up a pair of discs and retro fit them for the rear.
With some time and patience, also a
lot of vitamin M and the help of guru's/engineers the Getz CRDI can be transformed into one hell of a mean machine.
In its stock trim and lack of vitamin M for further mods I dont see why the Getz CRDI deserves to be chosen over the likes of Swift DDis, Punto, Logan, Fiesta, Fusion etc.
