My new Blue Chevrolet Beat - Initial Report

BlueBeat · 20th February 2010, 10:52

My sincere thanks to all BHpian's for their warm wishes. The car is a eye cather and stands out in any parking lot. I will try to click some more pictures and upload it. The interior pictures put up by GTO in his Test Drive thread are of the LT version with option pack. My car is LT (w/o option pack), but with the same interiors. My on road price with registration charges came to 4.45 Lacs. I will keep posting more details soon.
Thanks & cheers to all.

Wish you happy miles ahead.

Could you please post the pic of the extra cushioning done for driver seat. What was the cost of extra cushioning.

Congratulations! First Bear on T-Bhp. Waiting for your Drive experience and especially the back seat perception for passengers. (Claustrophobic windows?)

congratz dude..!
Beat is my favorite small hatch right now.Looks just fabulous in blue.
I thought that beat is quite a tall boy in its stance so surprised that you are having trouble with visibility.
are they your feet in the first pic.Never thought 5 feet 6 inches was so short

congratulations on your blue beat, awesome colour which surely stands out in crowd.Wheelcaps/alloys whatever has came along in your car is only thing which doesnt gel well with your car.Do post some more interior pictures and enjoy your ride.

auto-one · 20th February 2010, 21:12

Congrats on your new purchase.

The stunning looking car looks more so in blue.Please share the ownership experience in details.One more thing, how long you had to wait for the delivery?

Pyrotek · 20th February 2010, 23:37

My best wishes to you, BlueBeat for making a smart choice.

At that price, with the specs that the car has on offer, you really cannot go wrong. Best VFM hatch on the market at the moment.

, good joke buddy! Those feet are of my 5 year old kid. He loves the car too much. About the car I agreee it is a tallboy but since the dash is high mounted, it reduces the road view to some extent.

Congratulations on your Beat! The blue looks awesome, but personally I like the Red more on Beat.

Also, the alloy wheels comes with LT Option pack?

Hi, it is great that you too have booked a Blue LT model. Hope you too get the delivery of your Beat soon. The good news is that 10000 Beat's booked within the first 27 days of launch. Good days for GM. Now the delivery period is min. 2 months.
