We bought Getz Prime -GLE in April 2008. Till now it has run 4000+ kms. The objective was to buy a family car - inside space and a budget within Rs. 5L were the main considerations. So GLE matched these requirements to the T.
Fuel Consumption:
We drive in Bangalore Central district with bumper to bumper traffic. We get round 9Kms/liter in city with AC, and 12 Kms/liter without AC.
On highways - when the speed maintained throught was less than 80 (never crossing 80) with AC on the millage got was - 18.5 Kms/liter!! When the speed was in the range of 80-110 we have got a millage of - 15Kms/liter.
All the above millage info is for Shell premium petrol.
Pick up is very average, sometimes I feel 1.1 Liter engine is very inadequate. In City this is not a main consideration though.
Space inside is simply great! If there was one tipping point in our decision making criteria - this is it. - space & quality.
My Suggestion:
If you are looking at a car in this segment, and if space+quality+ smoothness in driving are the main consideration - this is the car. If pickup+fuel efficiency (if u r driving in a city like Bangalore) are main consideration then please look at other cars (maybe Swift...)
Hope the review will be helpful.
