sgiitk 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Remember buying a car is not the end of the story. You need moeny to maintain it as well. By all accounts Skodas are expensive to maintain (if I dare say the costliest in their respective segments) even if one takes all the horror stories about bad or non existent service, and fake parts being installed by the dealerships with a huge pinch of salt. sgiitk2009-06-09 05:07:15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piyush123 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Getz CRDI is currently available for under Rs. 6 lacs OTR Bangalore. It's the best buy for you in my opinion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Thank you all, for your kind & heart-felt comments. Sorry, I was out of action for the past week due to the bank processes. Here are some updates of all that happened the past one week. I have finally booked the Getz CRDi GVS - white from Trident Hyundai, Bangalore. The bank loan is through. The dealer is giving, apart from the regular free-bies like mats, carpets etc. also offered to paint the door handles & rear view mirror to white (body coloured) as free. I'm paying a discounted 4.5k for the front fog lamps as an addition. Delivery is due anytime next week (the week of 15th ~ 19th). I promise to post pics of my new car the moment I drive out & get the other modifications done. I intend to fit a good music system & alloys & better rubber. And then, I will post some pics. Thanks once again to all that helped me decide on this fabulous hot-hatch. I know it might be slightly dated, but hey, for this price-point, this power hatch is a deal. Trident gave me a good deal, the on the road price I paid was Rs 5,88,250/- Add the 4.5 for the fog lamps & it is comes to Rs 5,93,250 all incl.

rssh 59 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 Thats hell lot a decision also tell the tyre shop for trade in tyres for the stock . get atleast 10-12k discounts on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjcherian 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 @Juggernaut - congrats on the Getz choice - am sure you will have fun driving it. When going in for the tire/wheel upsize please first make sure the tire+wheel combo will fit in the wheel well without any problem - otherwise you will be totally frustrated with the spare tire.

Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 @Juggernaut: So you have really 'pimped' your ride. Excellent. I'd be more interested in the Michelin Primacy LC as ACI had done an article on it, and had given good review's regards road noise and reduced rolling resistance and hence increased FE. Don't forget the pic's as and when the 'pimping's done. Must be a great looker, have already pictured it in my mind's eye. BTW what color is the car?

rssh 59 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 I think LC tyres are better they are modern tyres which takes more pain to make than an ordinary tyres and emit lesser noise and has better grip and durability than normal tyres see the review of them in may ACI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 @ Vijay: 1. The price difference is always there. Remember, we're from Bangalore - for some reason, the state government thinks everyone in Bangalore are relatives of Vijay Mallya. We pay the highest prices for on-the-road car cost (due to crazy road tax) & the highest fuel costs (Rs 46.30 petrol & Rs 35 diesel) in India. 2. I was planning on going for the Michelin XM1 series initially; but then, after some research, decided to go for the Primacy LC tyres. Apparently, these offer the highest noise cancellation (tyre noise) & the least rolling resistance (as it is made of 100% silica compound; unlike other tyres that have a different percentage compund). It sure looks good on paper - will wait & see if it actually delivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Hello All I have taken delivery of the Getz CRDi last week. I have successfully carried out the modifications as specified in my earlier post. My question is this: How can I upload picture into this thread? I do not see an option that says 'upload file' or something on those lines... Pls advice.

sharash 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Hi Juggernaut, congrats on the new buy! Please refer announcement section for details to upload pics. I have one question for you, I see that your music system is one of the best available right now in market, I did not understand as to why you have put in a expensive amp without adding a sub woofer (for the doof doof effect). I think JBL/Pioneer subwoof would work wonders, else i dont see the need for the Amp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggernaut 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Hi Sharash Basically, I'm not a big fan of the sub-woofer. I agree it provides the thump, but, the fact is - the amp I've fit is 4x4 channel one. 2 channels for the components (up front) & 2 for the rear ovals (460W). This combination of components & ovals (both connected via amp) provides pretty awesome thump. More than enough for my hatch back. Maybe, when I buy a bigger & better saloon in the future, I might think of a sub that I can keep in the boot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
