Suresh you are a sad fool... You don't know anything about car... People like u in india are slowing us down... U would have been happier with the ambassador too if it had continued

Mr Dutt, in that case only anything above the i20 would suit you. But you would have to pay twice what you pay for the Beat. And hence the Beat is excellent value for money.
Suresh, go with the Beat, the Ford is so ugly, inside and outside that you won't feel happy at all after buying it. The prices are announced it costs 3.5-3.7 for petrol. But then you dont get alloy wheels, no climate control, no rear power windows, rear windows open only about 70%. At the end of the day a person should feel happy buying a car. People buying the Beat would feel happy sitting inside. But the Figo just sad. ashu (February 26, 2010)

My opinion of Beat is not so good. I am 5 11 and when took the test drive, I found it tiring to hold the steering if I pushed back driver's seat for good leg room and if I moved closer, steering grip felt OK but knees started rubbing the dash board. Similarly rear seats are also not so spacious. Power, pick up, handling are OK but nothing to write home about. Suspension is the only feature above par for its class.
Please take a second look. Regards Dr. N. Dutt Narender Dutt (February 26, 2010)

polo is not a good car... reasons age old design, engine with 3 cylinders means problem in good pick up and can not lift 5 heavy persons in long drive...5th generation car with some cosmic changes...engine should be what they are producing in Europe and i.e. their new 1.2 tsi petrol with 105 ps power and ready euro 5 norms...is a award winning engine continuous for 2 years in Geneva auto show. one thing they want to sell good numbers in India but rates are also excessive by 1 lac rupees... see the chevy beat which is next generation new design, too much spacious in all, be it front seats or back seats as i myself checked and am is 5'11". it is fully loaded like any luxury car with auto a.c., abs, alloy wheels and dual airbags etc. etc. and you don't need to fit anything from outside. I have to purchase the hatch back car in next 2 to 3 months after seeing the response of all cars but if you think wisely chevy beat saves more than 100,000 rupees from other premium cars and with new design, built quality, power, economy and features it is a lottery...really. i have checked swift, ritz etc. but not comfortable, average plastics, toy like body tin (not steel) , figo i haven't checked now and please if someone has checked personally than let me also know about it. these are my ideas others are welcome to comment but on personality practical experience and not on what majority is saying.
