One of the best car's I have ever come across

Back in 2011 we were in search for a new car, our previous car was a Maruti Suzuki Baleno, it was a real beast, performance wise and stability wise, and not one car in that budget would come close to the comfort it offered to its passengers, ride quality was also great, the only drawback being the low ground clearance and large wheelbase but its maintenance was taking a toll on us, thus we decided to exchange it for a new car. We began researching and going through all the latest ads and news of new cars being launched. Initially, we were attracted to the newly launched Toyota Etios, cause since it?s a Toyota, there wouldn?t be any issues with the quality, service, and reliability of the car, plus it did sit in our price range, which was around 5Lacs. One fine day we went on to find their showroom and take a test drive, we couldn't find it, and ended up in the Chevrolet showroom which we saw while searching for the Toyota, I had seen the Beat on the ads but I thought it was too small, but when I entered the showroom and saw the front of the car, I saw something of a hot hatch, funky design and the interiors totally attracted me, the salesperson at the showroom (Nikhil automobiles, Koparkhairne) gave us the look around and all the technical details of the car, we finally got a chance to take a test drive, and I was surprised by the power it packed, the acceleration was really good, ride quality as compared to normal hatches was also great, the interiors were something that made me feel like I was sitting in a real sci-fi car, thanks to the center console lighting, it really looked awesome. We fixed on buying this car (feature wise it was fully loaded as compared to other cars at this price range). Next day we got mom too with us to the showroom and finalized the deal, we got the car in 20 days, we exchanged the old Baleno for it, did the final inspection in the showroom and found two faults in it, which stayed to this day. 1.The door on the right, the front side did not close with a normal push.  2. Finger marks on the spoiler (guess someone couldn't resist touching the car while its paint was still wet. We showed dealer the issues, but since we ourselves couldn't wait any longer and we got the car, I tried to keep the car under 60 for a month, and finally unleashed its potential on the Mumbai-Pune expressway on my way back from Lonavala, I touched 155kmph but the car was stable, it weighs 1345 kgs, which is a lot for a hatch. The tire width was less thus increasing the mileage, but I was only getting 11kmpl (reason was over speeding), so I went for a mileage test, drove the car @70kmph on 5th gear, and it returned a mileage of 19.69kmpl. But frankly, in city conditions, it's just a dream, cause we are forced to shift gears depending on traffic conditions. Gear shifting was an ease, and the power delivery started at 2000 rpm, plus the gears had a short range, I could drive the car at 30kmph in 5th gear, on the whole, I was impressed by the car, the boot was less, and I considered the car as a four-seater and a three seater if I were to drive, my driving style was inspired from the Baleno. Now onto the service, we had 3 years warranty and extended it to 2 more years, the service at Nikhil was really great, parts replacements were done in a jiffy, and it only took 4 hours to service my car (every time), so I used to wait at the showroom, unlike other dealers who used to take two days comparatively, I still own the car, its been 6 years now, and I have never been disappointed by Chevrolet. For me, it was a really good ownership experience thanks to the Chevy?s reliability, quality of service and trust.

    Good Bye BEAT ! It was my trusted family member
    Within a short budget I choose this car. It gave me wonderful mileage. Not very comfortable at the rear seat but with 60:40 split option even in the lower models it gave us wonderful flexibility.With 5 years extended warranty I was not under any big expense pressure. General Motors have decided to close the production. The reason best known to them.

    Got good value for money
    Purchased in 2010 July, the car has been excellent mate in terms of a single-handed drive. Its been a true companion on highway driving, in 42 degrees temp of Gujarat, where many other premium cars also fail. The maintenance has been low for AC and overall, excellent space (boot and inside), superb panel (with glo-lightning at night), nice sound system and other features like Power windows, power mirrors, smooth gear system brakes and bumpers.

    Disappointed with performance
    I have BEAT Diesel car and it crossed almost 75000 KM running , But now I have started facing lot of problem 1] Engine is consuming oil , I have to replace it every 5000 KM 2] though I have new battery Engine starting problem has started . 3] Pickup has started drooping very badly. 4] Very high maintenance cost as I have paid more than 2 lacks in servicing in 5 years 5] Service stations lack good technicians to identify problem, they only know how to quote high servicing bill by replacing parts and loot money specially in Bangalore . GM have very limited servicing stations 6] All parts are not easily available outside so have to rely on those service stations for servicing who are there for looting money. 7] GM India has very pathetic customer service ,they don't work seriously on your complaints I have to get rid of this car but again in Market revaluation value is extremely less , I will recommend not to buy this car due bad technical service and high maintenance cost

    Chevrolet: Worst Car
    I am using Chevrolet beat from past 4 years and was getting it serviced from Bosch service center. Don't know why I got my last service done from Chevrolet dealer on 31st December. Few days back while driving on local roads of New Delhi suddenly my vehicle stopped in between the road and Diesel (fuel) got leaked from engine compartment, Lots of smoke was coming from the bonnet i got scared and when I checked the leakage and found a pipe from fuel line come out due to which diesel was leaked. When I ask my service dealer (Chevrolet dealer), he says " sir aaise hi nikal gya hoga wasie kabhi hotta ni h aaisa". I escalate the issue with Chevrolet also but didn't get any revert it seems that company is least bother with the services issues. They jus sell the vehicle for forgot everything. I am also an automobile Engineer and working in maintenance I will never recommend anyone to buy Chevrolet vehicle. I am taking care of fleet of almost 1500 vehicles with different-different corporate and will never suggest someone to but any car from Chevrolet.ALSO WOULD REQUEST TO YOU GUYS NOT GOT WITH SUCH MANUFACTURER WHO DIDN'T EVEN REVERT ON YOUR EMAILS

    My first car for my small family.
    I have purchased Chevrolet beat Diesel model LT in Feb 2013, the car is really nice and compact still four persons can easily travel in this car rear seats are also having head rests which really matters a lot during long journey the front seat and rear seats are really comfortable even a six feet of height person can easily enter and seat enough leg room for rear seat passengers as well as front seat passengers, the car driving performance is really fantastic due to its sportiness, it is extremely easy to drive on city roads even in heavy traffic also. Gear shifting is extremely smooth as well as power steering due to which less fatigue even in long journeys, Air conditioner of Beat is quite average because cooling effect for rear seats is less, lack of power observed While driving at steeper roads or ghats sometimes. Very less noise of the car inside the cabin. Ground clearance of the beat is also found good. Most important and beneficial part of my car is its mileage it is really giving me almost 25 kmpl mileage after using Air conditioner on highways and is giving 22 kmpl on city roads I think this is the most fuel efficient car in Diesel variant in this segment. The most drawback of this car is its boot space, the luggage for four hardly accommodates in the boot. I am using this car from last four years and except regular periodic maintenance, i have not spent a single rupee on additional maintenance. Car music system is average even if the speakers of the car is not good so I have replaced them with a superior one, the odometer is really giving the nice and attractive looks to the car. Armrest for a driver is really good but needs to provide it to the left hand of the driver also to improve more comforts. Overall a nice sporty car, full marks from my side to Chevy even in future I will prefer only Chevy cars to go for.

    Best experience with a new brand
    Our family has always been inclined towards buying Maruti. But I had to buy a diesel car with low budget. Decided to go for Beat LS diesel model. I must say am really impressed. It's been four years now and am really satisfied. I faced not even a single problem during these years. Service cost is very low. Drive is amazingly smooth. If we see this car in terms of space it got some foes as there is not much space for legs in the back seat and if three healthy people will sit together in the back seat there is no proper space. In terms of fuel consumption this car is very nice and it touches a mileage of 25 kmpl . This car is quite comfortable instead of some issues with back seat space. It has got all the new features and is a very reliable car with a powerful engine of 79.8 bhp. Very nice car and I will give it a score of 85/100 and a thumbs up.I definitely recommend buying this car. Good for small family.
