Nothing specific dude & i totally agree with you that the crdi is a powerhouse for sure but i would anyday prefer a petrol car than a diesel. Just love the smoothness of a petrol car

well not sure for i20's rear seats having same seating options as getz does in all its model.

@Caroholic congrats on the new Getz ! I love it in Red. I was almost going to get it in the same color but was vetoed by all at home so ended up with Blue. Looking for a detailed report from you once you put some miles on it.

Since when did the armrest come on the Getz ? The adjustable recline has been there since 2005 - I have it on my car.

well mate after they launched 1.1 on getz prime, they started this feature on 1.3 models.

Congrats caroholic....Getz is a real good car. Could you post your FE figures..
I have heard no so good reviews regarding Getz FE, my own 1.3 GLS, is giving around 11+ without AC in Bangalore. Came across a guy, who is quoting 8, 8.5..which is horrible..

Congrats again, and happy/safe driving.

Hi guys here are a few pics from my recent trip to Ludhiana. Got a FE of 13kmpl(approx) on the highway with an average speed of 110 & with the AC switched on all the time. Even got the pioneer single din installed with two pioneer speakers for the front. Will be getting the alloys & a new set of tyres very soon

Its less than a month & I’ve already done 2600Kms on the ODO & guys the car did extremely well on the highway too.

Is it recommended to get the Teflon coating done?

ROADSTER · 18th May 2009, 22:06

where are the car seat cover pics you were talkin about????????????????

loving_alaap · 19th May 2009, 12:38

Congrats dude.

A specious and a good VFM car (after price cut).

The only con in 1.3 is FE. Overall is a nice package.
