| ![]() Just read the OVERDRIVE sep '10 issue Mega small car shootout. The Beat is ranked really low ![]() The only diff is that this review is by novices...no expert opinions there. |

| ![]() +1 to that. After I came to know TBHP, I have stopped reading all other auto magazines. In my opinion, it is a one stop pit for everything automobiles. |

My dealer told me that i will get 10 - 12 kmpl until the oil change .... after which it will improve to 15- 16 kmpl. Is it true ? I drive carefully and do not overspeed ... Plus the mileage I am getting is 10 - 12 kmpl . when everybody here seems to be getting upto 18 !!! Worried :( | |

After assurance check up, the first service is due on 5K kms/6 months and there too no replacements as per GM's schedule except some air cleaner/brake/power steering/wind shield washer/coolant fluid top ups and some fine tunings. I've paid only 170/- for the greasing and some misc items which I don't remember correctly. No one's claiming for a figure of 18kpl but there are some smart drivers getting 17 at their best. But dont worry, you are not the only person getting this magic 12 ![]() ![]() | |

| ![]() In b2b terrible traffic I am getting something between 11 and 12. Tried everything, but not more than 12. But in highway it manages 15 to 16 easily (all figures are with 100% AC and solo drive) Odo reads 2570KMs. Cheers! Vinu |

| ![]() Guys, a question to you. My beat has just covered 1k kms in 7 months. Do you think I should send it in for the first 6 months/5k kms service right now? Or is it wiser to wait a little longer and send when I am at 2k or something (which might take another 3 months, since my office commute is hardly 13kms to-fro) |

| ![]() No! Send it across right now. Time plays a factor in the quality of fluids. Get the free service done, some service centers create issues later. |

+1 to EssYouVee, it plays a vital role especially engine oil and brake/power steering fluids. | |

| ![]() I had parked the car under a tree and it must have been my bad luck, a piece of the tree branch broke and fell on the windscreen. The crack is pretty long. Even though it might have been the impact that caused the crack, I seriously doubt the quality of the windscreen. What do you guys think? How much will it cost to change the windscreen and is it possible to claim insurance for it? Any idea guys? |
