color is nice. i guess you like shades of red. is it?
looking forward for a detail review of the entire process
cheers and drive safe!!

Thanks WD! And yes I do like Red but unfortunately in this case I wanted a White car but this was the only shade available. Getting a white one would have meant waiting 1.5 months & that was not acceptable. The process review I'll put up shortly.

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.

LOL! Thanks SriRam! It's a sensible yet quick choice as the latest pics will show you!

Come on Deep! They are all the same tyres, so just one pic will suffice!! Thanks!

[nitrous]

Guys I think, Someone's hacked Ishan's account and have posted a Getz.
Can some doctor on here confirm on here if Ishan has Multiple Personality D?

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

LOL! Thanks! You along with NC & Sid were the first ones to catch that there was something fishy!!

Nice colour though.

And Congrats. You have a lot of EXPLAINING to do...so i think now is a good time to start.

For explanation please see page 4! And thanks Dan!

OHC couldn't be for life man, after 200k kms I think she had had enough! And it was time for me to move on.

The Getz 1.1 L does not have the 1.1 L logo on the rear - only the 1.3 has it !

I feel this is a Getz CRDi and you are trying to make it look like a wolf in sheep's clothing !!

Come on - out with the actual facts !!

LOL! You caught me man!! For an hour or so I thought that we had done the job too well & maybe nobody will guess about it!

But nice Q car eh??

is it a new varient or 1.1 GVS?

I can't see the name of the varient on the tailgate.

Thanks Sid, she's a CRDi with 1.1 badging!

And I am surprised to see petrol Getz after you having known & driven kpGetz (Getz CRDI owned by kpzen). Have you changed the badges with help of HMP & other contacts? Feels that 1.1L badge has been borrowed from Santro.

Thanks Sukiwa! And your guess was right, it is indeed a 1.1L badge from the Santro!

Please post some pics of the engine bay!

Anyways congrats for a car with car with H plus Ctrl+I -> H

Thanks Priyank! And no I bought the badges from dealership man!

Afterall it replaces the legendary OHC!

LOL Priyank!! You got it right! Thanks!

[supremeBaleno]

Wow, nice choice of car, TyreGod.
Have fun on the road with a hot-hatch that is capable of giving even bigger cars a complex.

Mileage shouldn't be an issue, CRDi anyways gives better mileage than 1.1.

similar colour as Dhanno.

BTW whats the name for this babe

but you totally dissapointed me. You car is still running on stock steel rims /stock tyres /wheel caps.
Come on we didn't expect this from the Tyre bhagwan.

Thanks Vineet! And haven't thought up a name for her yet!

And yes even I'm ashamed to be running on stock rims & tyres but good upgrades coming soon! Patience!

When are u downsizing the wheels to 13" 155/80-13...??
14" is a bit too much for the small 1.1 engine..

Zyaada masti aa rahi hai tere ko hain??

Haha Sanyam! Yes too old to handle a 1.1 that is!

Congo Ishaan. Enjoy and drive safe

What happened to the OHC ? Sold off already ?

[esteem_lover]

Yeah, I know that. Headers' accent returned 17kmpl on our drive to Pondy doing 120-150.

[benbsb29]

Ha! So you're finally out with it.
After all the fun you had with KP's car, there was no way you would settle with a 1.1.

[Sam Kapasi]

I don't know much about cars. I know that there is a Getz that has a Verna Diesel engine inside. If this is the case then it will be a bloody fast car.
Now it seems to me that Ishan would get one of those. Then it appears from his first post that he got a Petrol car instead.

OK cool, I thought, he probably has his reasons. Now towards the end I am beginning to see that he has indeed got that powerful diesel version but has put the logos of a petrol car on it so people will think it is less powerful than it actually is.

I have often seen people put powerful logos and numbers on underpowered cars so people will get fooled. Now I see the reverse happening, so people will get fooled.

You guys are all nuts, you know that? Tap, tap tap. I'm outta here.

Oh Ishan, congratulations on the new car! lol

Looking forward to what new shoes you get for her

Thanks Amey! Got it now?? And wait for the shoes plan!

1.1??? OMG I cant believe it. From VTEC to this, You are getting OLD for sure.

LOL Manan! Thanks for the getting old gaali!

Either ways, that was a quick purchase, and looks like you have taken up long term membership with the Hyundai family.

No Benny, I paid for the badge man!! Thanks! And yeah Hyundai family is good!

EDIT: The last pic is supicious. Also torquey?? Now i am sure Ishan is kidding!

Hahah Elito! Good call! You're the only one who caught my 'toruqey' pun! Thanks!

If u know of a Getz variant with Verna engine then i must say u know a lot about cars...
If u were trying to be modest then its a different story..

Eh!! Now i gotta run for cover...lol

[Vid6639]

Damn, I was just going to type that Ishan got the 1.1L CRDi engine for evaluation from hyundai because of his contacts, before being released officially, till he spilled the beans.

[iraghava]

Originally Posted by F50

NC somehow convinced him to buy 1.1 for FE purpose but Ishan has indeed something up his sleeve. He says this is just a city car and thats why 1.1 is more than enough but actually something else, something big and more powerful is replacing Dhanno.

So just keep your congrats limited to 1.1 instead start bugging him for whats this next big thing!

jokes apart, Congrats. A "sensible" buy, I must say. The Getz is a sheer joy of a car, though I honestly won't say that for the 1.1 engine!

Thanks! Would you say that she's a joy now??

Thanks man! Yes, upgrades coming up soon!

She looks beauty in the color, would love to see this space filled up by a same color "Honda Civic" in near future. Best of Luck !!

Thanks Ashish! I would actually prefer an Accord!

Injoy the ride.

And now spill the beans,everybody is waiting

EDIT : thats gr8 to see CRDI there

Thanks Sunny! She's a good car indeed!

Thanks John! She's a downgrade alright but the best one in the given budget! And MRF's! Sacrilege!!

[GTO]

The Getz is a great hatch. Butttttttttttttttttttttt after the Vtec? Getz CRDi, understandable. But a 1.1

Man, you are growing old or something.

EDIT : Just read some of the comments. I guess I have missed some information in between.

EDIT Part Deux : Woohoo! Common-rail baby! Awesome, congratulations Ishan (notice I didn't congratulate earlier). From a high-revving Honda to a torque-monster crdi. Perfect for the enthusiast in you as well as the high-miler.
