Same car park approach, where diff cars (make and models) clear easily. | |

 it starts rolling as soon as u release the clutch and it happens till it reaches 1000rpm after that it settles down..Quote:
Frankly, this is the first time i'm hearing of GC issue with Getz...Either something is wrong with suspension or the bumps in koramangala are too high.... Last edited by kpzen : 3rd July 2008 at 13:29. | ||

| Senior - BHPian | 1200kms update!! My Bright silver has done 1200kms in 20days and my cousin's CRDi has done 2800kms.. My ride has till now given a FE of 15.5, 14.5 and 16.1 kmpl in three tank fulls. My cousin gets 15.5kmpl consistently as he's more consistent in maintaining speeds unlike me... I remember reading Top speed of 152kmph and 170kmph in some magazines..!!! PURE CRAP !!! I did 185kmph @ just under 4000RPM n it was still ready to go more..and still i got 14.5kmpl..  |

Congrats on your new car , it's a great car except for the multi-coloured interiors. I had an Accent VIVA CRDi, brilliant car, but weird beige interiors with a Silver body - did not quite agree with me. I'd have changed the dashboard & all interior plastic colour to a dark grey had I kept the car any longer. Have you done 185 kmph on stock tyres  , you are a brave man. Have fun with the new car & drive safe.Cheers | |

| Oh well, you guys are too held up in "top speed" of a car in its first 1000kms ? Is it recommended to drive that fast, you know during "running in"  Or the so called new gen engines does't need this ?  reply |

I have a Getz GLX with 175/65-14 Goodyear GPS2 tube type tires. The car came with OEM alloys and the manual says 5.5j rims. How can I find out if it is conforming to the manual? | |
