muxyd 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 I have a swift ZXi with me. I am planning to sell it and buy another car. I have short listed swift VDi and Getz CRDi. But I am confused to choose from these two. Do you guys have any suggestions??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurkha 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Even though Getz is no looker, the Verna engine is the catch if you like performance, far superior to the FIAT in Swift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablo37989 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 agreed but do you think - much as the engine is excellent, and build quality superior - that the getz is worth buying with no 4 wheel discs or ABS even as paid options? I wanted to buy a Getz but decided to boycott Hyundai when I learned they are using safety features to manipulate consumers - they seem to feel that if they offer ABS (which they do on the Getz 1.3 petrol) and 4 wheel discs (which they do on the Verna CRDi) with the Getz that they will cannabilize sales of other models...

Akshay 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Getz is priced higher than Swift. So, if budget is a constraint go for Swift. Swift loses out on the getz in terms of space. Performance of Swift is not as good as Getz, but not bad either! But, Swift is a good looker. Fuel economy of Swift is very good. No idea about FE of Getz diesel.

diablo37989 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 getz has more space. but more expensive to buy and lower fuel economy, compared to the Swift. u need to decide what your trade-off is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurkha 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 For good performance look no further, get the Getz diesel and as soon as you take it out of showroom, head for nearest Yokohama dealer and exchange the OEM chappals for a nice juicy set of Yoko AVS, thats all.

gauravsimply4u 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 I think the swift is the car 1 should go for.Swift has got chunky looks, decent performance, and fuel efficient engine. Vernas 110 bhp engine is excellent but i feel its too powerful for Getz.I m not sure whether the Getz can handle such a tremendous power output.

Gurkha 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Don't worry about Getz, with right set of tires and alloys it will harness that power with ease and the power to weight ratio of the Getz would mean performance far superior to most cars in its range and beyond.

diablo37989 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 four season's bombay tell me they have an excellent tuning kit for the Getz / Verna CRDi for about 40k, includes a K&N filter and ECU remap (tho I am sure Gurkha will not advise using the K&N) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pryas 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 The Swift Vdi is will be the better buy and more value for money car , hearing a very good feedback from the Swift Diesel Owners, there are hardly any diesel getz sold in my city and there is no response to the dealer enquiring abt the Getz Diesel and i feel the Swift vdi will be a better choice Regards, Priya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurkha 1 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 The mods will reduce your reliability and in most cases driveability. Stick to stock and just do minor mods like alloy and tires, that way you keep your warranty and enjoy the performance as well. The Getz diesel would beat out any Swift diesel with ease, even Swift petrol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey dude were do you stay may be the VDI has the best milege CRDi is a killer .If you buy anyone sell your ZXI to me seriously. I stays in bglr. But the car is registered at kerala. I really like in swift is its looks. I am not a fan of gets (look) either. I think I may finalize with swift VDi. If nothing changes I may trade in ma old swift this coming week...... Thanx for all your help./. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 Hey a piece of advice don't pay more than 70k on the VDi is not agreed then sell privately you will get good price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgiitk 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 If nothing changes I may trade in ma old swift this coming week...... Thanx for all your help./. Something has changed - launch of the Skoda Fabia. If you are keeping the Swift then go for the Fabia (or the Getz, though it is not that interesting now). Otherwise you may look at the Swift as well. If the warranty issue does not bug you then after running for say three months in the case of the VDi or Fabia go for a ECU upgrade (Pete!) for about 25-30k. I am sure the Fabia upgrade will also be on the market by now. I would not advise K&N. Look around, there were enough negatives about these on this forum in the early deays.

Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 The Getz CRDI is a good car, but falls very much short on safety features and hauling power, for the power on tap now in a much lighter car than the Verna. Looks like Hyundai wanted the car to bomb, even when someone wants to buy the car they can't have the ABS, Airbags, 4 wheel dics even as options and that's bad. Comparatively the Swift VDI is a sensible car. I'd go for the cheaper Swift VDI any day; or wait for the day Hyundai adds all the above features and adds some sexy alloys and gives a mouthwatering discount, and calls it Getz CRDI S<E>XI. I'd buy that car in red with matching red and black leather interiors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
