Hi, I was planning to buy a Getz Prime 1.1 GLE. Did you finally buy it and, if yes, could you tell me about your experience so far in terms of mileage, etc.? Also did you manage to do any highway driving and how was the pick-up, etc.? How does the AC perform in high temperatures?

Hi Pramod, That's right, same config. These people are really abominable! I was outraged at the fact that they're dumping such machines in India simply because we're a Third World market. They need to understand that it doesn't mean they can saddle us with third rate stuff! Suggest you don't give u read more...
Hi Shabbir, A hardware guy explained to me that the machine has a feature that 'mirrors' all the data all the time which needs to be disabled (you can take regular back-ups in any case).

Well, MUL has come out with a couple of real losers like the Alto LX (800cc) and the Baleno. With the 800, well you need to check out the 5-speed version (no longer manufactured since it was eating into Alto sales). It's an excellent car.
