Chevrolet Beat - The Definite Ownership Report

[cooldhaya]

Buddy Swift D , Vs i20 AT Vs Beat doesn't make sense , all the cars belong to different segments. But Swift D detailed report will be nice to have.


And about your Figo Vs Beat in terms of looks i would say Figo is not bad looking at all! Figo is a more classic family man looks whereas Beat has that urban funky youth appeal. Looks are subjective this is just my opinion.


EDIT: I like the Interiors of Beat at night , looks great!

Thanks!
I am not confident in taking a pic when rpm climbs(wastage of expensive fuel-petrol),would surely try to take a pic in future.Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks.
In my pic interior look a bit basic.Our trim,mid-trim is a bit basic but in real life its lot better especially the steering,the upper part of the dash has a design and the plastics used is also quiet good for whatt we pay,but the top of the line is really good.Our trim misses HU,roof rails,etc.Thinking of removing the interior pic.Better interior pics are on the pipe line.

Note: This is a pic from Zinam's review,posted by 350Z on page 4,fifth pic.

Extremely neat and well written review. Congratulations for the Beat. It counts as one of my favorite hatchbacks, but the biggest disappointment is the low and cramped rear seat. Overall it makes for a delightful car in the city. Enjoy and Happy driving.

Drive Safe,

Thanks 350Z.
This car is our second car entirely used in city and it this requirement was one of the main reason my dad picked beat over figo.
The small rear window leads to that cramped feel and yes it low when compared to swift.

Yes,the dashboard look best at night.
The car reached our home at night,and I was too stunned to see the interior.I thought if the LS trim looks like this then how will be the LT!
I am posting a pic I took recently and decided to dedicate to TAI.
