bbraj ... congratulations!

Firstly whats the breakup of OTR price of 5.88?

secondly i think you should go for FOGS + Spoiler + painting the door handles and rear view mirror ... first!


Did you get a beige gearknob or a beige + silver top knob? I didn't like the beige gearknob and i asked the dealer the cost for a verna sx knob and it was 4500Rs. Dunno whether they can be changed.

What do you think about the drive side mirror being non-convex ?

Congratulations for booking the rocket hatch. Hope you get the vehicle as confirmed by the dealer within 10 Days.

I am giving below my experience just for information. Sorry if i am OT.

I had booked my getz crdi on 10th June and was confirmed a delivery within 2 weeks. But today i.e 7 weeks from the date of booking and after lots of follow up with the dealer & Hyundai personnel I have cancelled my order. Not even till the level of a Sr.G.M of Hyundai bothered to respond to my telecalls & emails. No one could give me any assurance as to when I would get the vehicle. I only got false promises & excuses from the dealer for the delay. The dealer even gave me a false chassis no. & the engine no. to get my bank loan credited.

Having Booked the Getz crdi I was happy & excited. I had got all my accessories e.g. tyres. seat covers , ICE, Sunfilm etc lined up for installation. Luckily I had not bought them.

Now this experience of mine with Hyundai & its dealer has left me frustrated. My earlier experiences with Tata, Fiat, Maruti were all good. I still donot understand why people complain about Tata fiat Service. I have not found them bad. I am presently owning an 3 yr old Indica driven for more than 1.08L kms without major problems. If this is what Hyundai service is than Tata is far better.

Now my ordeal starts in getting back the amount paid & the loan reversed from the dealer. I hope atleast this would go smoothly.

Good Luck!

Kiran

Second that - 195/55 on 15" makes an awesome shoe for the rocket- but the size is available only on Yoko (I have S.Drives)...

Yes it has an amazing engine but some how it doesn't tick all the boxes for a good car to own,(my interpretation of a car = speed is not everything) but would have preferred to see you in a magnum than that puny little rocket.
You still have time, invest a lakh more and you will happier in a "magnum second hand" rather than getz (personal suggestion)

I agree speed is not everything in the car thats the reason my car will run only on advan neovas and i have seen it in action on karthik kumar swift, v1p3r swift and mclaren1885 baleno.
Hey, this is just a try if things does not workout we both can go for a next gen VGT elantra itself rather than a magnum after 2yrs.

Thats the only reason i want to put 195/60/14 but lets see.

Now you are scaring me though it sounds funny, hope hyundai don't spoil my dreams.

I was planning to buy neovas, alloys, hids and rd ecu for my getz now let me wait and then buy.

I have heard that you can get 195/55/15 in advan neovas. When i searched for the tyre size in excel sheet from tyre gurus they suggest not more than 50 profile for 15" 195/50/15.

though personally i have seen a getz crdi running on 195/55/15".

Tyre gurus help please? if this size "195/55/15" is ok then nothing like it or else i have to go for 195/60/14.

You should get a stiff(ened) suspension - the one thing missing in that car towards a driver's bliss.

[Akshay1234]

heck id say get 205s since your gonna be running at least 130bhp.

[ph03n!x]

205/50 will be an over kill. I'm on 195/55 on 15" HR Alloys, and on bad roads it makes me wish I got 185's. 205/50 is the perfect up-size though, if you go by the tire up-size calculator. 195/55 makes the speedo slower, fixing a bit of the speedo reading error

And the suspension does not seem all that bad after changing the tires- in fact a stiffer suspension will make day to day driving a bullock-cart-ride!!

[aZa]

Bbraj you have not got the delivery yet ???? have you seen the car in person? I'm asking you this because there is a lot of wrong info about getz crdi with the dealers. Here in DELHI many dealers are ready to book any color of getz crdi for you and on the other hand HMP and Hyundai Cust. Care say that the production is stopped.

I have seen a space silver getz crdi here in delhi but they are asking for the pre-4.99 Ex showroom price! Anyway i think you should try and get the exshowroom to somewhr close to this 4.99 amount

all the best keep us posted

195/55-15 is fine, it won't scrape anywhere but its not a great option for highway driving.
The front end is really heavy and with 185/65 tires i got one of my rims bent when i hit a pothole at 80kph. So imagine the same scenario with 195/55 tires.
195/60-14 is the best option IMO.

The production status of Getz CRDi is not confirmed but its now readily available at HMP.

195/60 R14 is the best option. Reasons:

1).; Ride comfort is decent enough.
2). Cost. 195/60 R14 Ad07s cost around 5.2k. 195/55 R15 AD07s cost 7.2k

Not to mention the fact that 15" rims will be more expensive. The extra money spent might be worthwhile if oyu need to go for bigger sizes like 205. But, with Ad07s, you dont need the width to be more than 195. The compound makes up for the width. 195 section AD07s have effectively the grip you might get from 205 or 215.

Raj,

Congrats bro for booking getz crdi. But why did you sell elantra?

Tyres: 195/55-15 is the best one for getz. I have tested 195/60-14 PP's and 205/50-15. Ride quality is bad in 205. So 195/55 -15 is the best one. The P&W alloy i have are very strong. Many times i jumped speed breakers at over 80kmph and no bends. The reason i jumped is because of poor brakes. Let us do something to improve it man.

Yes, but first let me see what can advan neovas do to my car and will decide later.

As it is neovas i guess 195 size should do the required job as suggested by tyre gurus. And as i have personally seen rahuls baleno doing 200+ with neovas i guess it should be fine.

Comforts and grip is the priority so as suggested even i feel 195/60/14 is better.

My Millivision dealer quoted 5k per tyre.

I used to say this from day one that if its non ABS car and if you want to go fast then your only options should be Advan neovas or higher.

I am seriously looking for drilled rotors for getz crdi.

How do you say that ? 195/60 R14 is the best. what is the advantage of going to 15" and sticking to the same tyre width? Makes no sense at all!

[djay99]

Handling dude. It makes lot of difference when it comes to handling and cornering. With 15", the same car will handle in a much better way compared to 14".

I never said 195/60-14 is best for getz. Handling is not great with 14".
Side wall rubber in 195/55-15 is more compared to 205/50-15. So first will have decent ride quality and very good handling. 195 is max required for getz IMO.

FYI, i have used 195/60-14 Michelin PP1, 205/50-15 Maxxis on my getz crdi. Planning to change tires to 195/55-15 shortly.
