beat-gear troubling in 1st month

iam planning to book beatLT, i also have doubt about the Korean box which experts say is never as slick as japanese .beat users please give update.

I have to change my mind from buying a Beat as I see the above comment.Will you add company own made gear box.

It happened not good, I am also make a mind to purchase its little stylish Beat. Now i will thought than try to buy it.

i am facing same problem...i bought BEAT LS on 19 FAB but at my first drive i found problem in gear box.....representative told me that every thing will be ok after he did first servicing,,,,,let's see what happen....

no matter guys, every owner of beat has some complaints about their fancy ride like gear box is harsh and noisy pick up is sluggish and do not feels like a 1200 car boot space is smaller than every other car in competition 170 ltrs no under thigh support in rear seats mileage is not as promised, giving 11 - 12 kmpl mostly rear suspensions makes a thud sound on potholes otherwise the car is perfect.........lolz its just a beauty to stare at not a real performer

Funky looks!

There will be issues with gearbox. They wanted to replicate the drive by wire of Maruti but they cant be Maruti.

Hey! all Beat users. I'm planning to change my alto for a beat. Will you please suggest me whether I should go for it or not. Well beat has a very stylish look, I especially like the shape of the windows and the interior (dash board). Beat looks quite impressive, promising a 15-18 mileage. Are the complaints regarding the MP3 player, gear, pick up and Korean box true. Please do reply. You may contact me on either 9300770395 or cherry_poo95@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot!

I am planning to have Beat Would would you please suggest me to go gor it or not as i am living in Shimla. Is this car suitable for hilly terrain roads or not

Hello Users, Though my review (Beat-Gear troubling in 1st Month)might have disheartened some , I want to share an exciting news- Over this long weekend I drove my Beat to Coorg and back.Pick-up isn't as good as great(I believe its being done to improve mileage ) but 1st gear has enough power to tame any kind of hilly terrain Guess what my Beat gave an mileage of 17.9kmpl to be exact with AC, high speeds and in hilly terrain. Its a pleasant surprised. Drive quality on highways and even hills is good with better grip. Ground clearance falls a little short at times. But after this long trip in Beat " I AM LOVING MY BEAT" its like driving a swift and getting an excellent mileage of 17-18 kmpl . I strongly believe it will perform even better after 3rd service. ALL THE BEST

Just to clarify the above review- I drove from Bangalore to Coorg and back with my wife and Dog it took 6Hrs one way. Happy Driving Hemant-9663111882

I am an owner of Chevrolet beat I do have the same trouble on gear box. There are some sounds and vibrations coming in. And comparatively to other segments I am not at all satisfied because I am an owner of maruti suzuki alto too I almost everyday get a hit under the cars body due to bad roads but nothing has happened till date from past four years but unfortunately my beat which is run only 555kms has hit its under body part that to very slightly which resulted in a very big damage. From this guys I am sure the vehicle has its class on looks but below average on its machinaries. I am really disappointed so think twice before you go on this brand...

i confuse among zen estilo lxi beat ps or ford figo we are five members family. i live in dehli.figo lxi petrol has better space amonge all but millege is not good plz tel my tell which car will be best for me

please do not compare Zen Estilo with BEAT

You are right,Dont go for looks . Bought beat LT one month ago, Been to the service station 4-5 times.Gear oil leaking, sound under feet while changing gears, regret havinng bought BEAT. ashok

I am Happy with my Beat, its giving 13.2 Avg in city like bangalore and 18 on Highways. Gear becomes smooth with time as I have experienced in 6 months. Really sorry for you Ashok.It was just a Bad Luck I would say. Hemant

Have to buy a car in this week and since last 1 week i am struggling between Beat and Estilo .. believe me guys for a new user there isnt any diff .. estilo looks more value for money . . it has Marutis backup and model is upgraded where they have refined everything which was considered not right earlier.. if someone is taLking about problem its just the space here and there .. I'v also spoken with few guys who confirms the same .. anyways .. without test drive i wont own one.. Beat is also a very nice car ..looks very attractive .ppl are talking about the problem in pickup with AC on .. gear shifting .. no response in 2nd gear which AC on ..and you can also figure out the low bumper ..yahan gurgaon me 15 -20 cm pani roads pe bhar jata hai , i v seen on TV Delhi is also not better ..

and yes i forgot to tell you my views about the major diff which is 1.2 litrs engine .. there isnt any use of it .. we drive in city only .. where roads are really not good .. cant drive over 60 for a min .. mostly m worried about mileage There is one more point .. new buyer is not more aware of the tid bids here and there .. and grossly ignorant to minor changes which experts write about cars in review section.. this will fall on me after an year or something but till then i will be used to my car :-D .. Also maruti is offering more discounts .. its more than 30 k.. and on beat m getting only corporate discount. chalo ji ,, will keep you guys posted if i could find this page again.

Hi, I am planning for purchasing my first car, but I am confused between selecting Wagon R VXi,i10-Magna1.2 and Beat(LS), kindly suggest me to choose the best option

BEAT BETA

its so bad, sometimes you write a comment and after you submit, the page publishes whatever they want and not what you have written

I dont know whether you ll get any response from higher officials. Please take up your problem in writing so that you can fight it out legally later. My mail to higher ups on a different matter(not providing me with Rs5999/= offer of 3yrs/45000km free maintenance)dated 16th Aug has not yet been replied. All the best.

I bought Beat LT in Feb 2011. I also facing the gear shifting problem. They are not at all smooth...First Gear - if push the gear stick slightly to the left, the gear doesn't seem to be shifting smooth... same with second gear too.. specially while shifting back from 3rd to 2nd. In first service i told the customer executive... they didn't fix the problem. And, when the a/c is on... the car doesn't feel like a 1200cc car. And, chevy takes customer satisfaction call, i believe the questions asked are not appropriate...

Please tell me about the problems one can face after purchasing this car. JKSINGH
