The only Cons about Beat LT is inbuilt Audio system of Daewoo... The sound quality from cheap Daewoo system is really Bad, I crossed a deal with dealer to replace the Daewoo system with Sony Xplod 2 DIN System with mere 6000/- bucks....

I am driving a Beat LT for last 2 months. I am very much satisfied with the performance. Refinement, pick-up, ride quality, all are fine. Interior quality and design is very nice too.

Hey!.. guy first of all i'm not telling lie.Beat is rough & tough car & also good looking.mileage is nice but i think it depends on traffic.beat has excellent interiors & exterior.it has good fuel efficiency of 15km/Lr.
  Posted by Ankur at 18th October,2010
  I am also facing the pick up problem but not all times...THanks Jerryleen for letting us know about the pick up thing. I will check with my dealer too...

hello guys thanks for the comments i boked beat i will own after 3 days and service center is superb and the sales persons in deedi motors(tiruvalla,kerala) are excellent good job guys

I love this car. It defines value for money.have owned one for 3 months now. only trouble is usb port on music system which was unusable for the longest time. finally found the usb adapter on ebay though a bit overpriced. works just fine.Its much better than swift if you keep the price difference in mind. the mileage has been a bit of a disappointment
  Posted by Shushant Gupta at 6th September,2010
Hi, I am thinking seriously to buy BEAT, LT. Would like to know whether its a good buy and value for money compared to SWIFT, UVA, RITZ, i10.
  Posted by jerryleen at 27th August,2010
I own beat LT model, initial i too faced problems with pick up however it was resolved by ECU remapping at dealers place. Please mail GM india Email to confirm or call Dealer.

Nice front look as audi but fuel avg.is not very good 15 km/ltr

Guys this is a nice car - I am a proud owner of chevy beat over 3months now. The interior / exterior, driving experience, AC, space - everything is nice. But I am also facing the same problem of no pick up in 2nd gear with AC is on. Also I am getting a fuel service of 11-12 km/l in city of Kolkata. I am not sure this is bad or average. I stay in a much populated area. But I can tell you one thing for sure - wherever I go ppl stare at my car for its stunning design
  Posted by Dona at 18th August,2010
  Hi, I am planning to buy BEAT. How is your experience about fuel efficiency. Would be happy if you share your experience about no pick up in 2nd gear with AC is on.

A-star is better in terms of interior, space at the back, the gearshift quality and the fact that it has wonderful driving position..its too good in its performance and its look.

Can someone please tell me the brand of the audio system that comes with the Beat, and does it ply AAC files, as all my songs are in that format (i have a mac)
  Posted by Gyan at 23rd April,2010
I have bought beat Lt model this month. I am overall satisfied except milage. I am getting around 12 kms in partly highway and partly citi conditions.
  Posted by satinder at 9th April,2010
good sigment
  Posted by gvramakrishna at 8th April,2010
the mileage is low at only 9km per litre Will it improve. The tyre needs review perhaps a change to steel belted radials will help
  Posted by Rajive Goel at 3rd April,2010
Great car, I bought it in Jan. the pick-up has a problem when the a/c is running
  Posted by Jai at 25th March,2010
This is a true value for money. It gives Airbags, ABS, Alloy Wheels, Power Windows (all4), Power stearing, Adjustable stearing, Fog Lamps, Defogger, Rear wiper, Spoiler, Climate Control ac, Digital control, Integrated music system, Seat belt with weight balancer.
  Posted by Santanu at 20th March,2010
Don't know, why GM is taking so much of time to deliver this BEAT. I have booked on 12th of Feb'10 & still waiting to get my BEAT. It in on Kolkata, DULICHAND MOTORS.
  Posted by Dr Joteen SIngh at 20th March,2010
I have seen many comparative statement regarding the cars of the same rank including BEAT LT. I have notice that Beat has some drawbacks regarding its gear shift and seating style, however I am planning to compare those cars myself, if I satisfy I will certainly get BEAT LT. I also sometimes think that, there must have some reason why Beat LT has seating style like this.
  Posted by lover at 20th March,2010
hey i heard a rumour from trivandrum that the beat has got a problem with its suspension and it comes with a taveras bush in the suspension
  Posted by HMS at 9th March,2010
Have been driving Beat LT since a month now. Overall Good, no doubt, but the only -ve thing is pick up when AC is on.

finally got the beat...but was forced to buy a 15000Rs sony double din deck by subrai motors vasco the goa dealer. the staff were very helpful but the owner and the sales manager have an anti sales attitude...anyways the car redeems the trouble i faced to get it...its real superb my 1st gm car(rest 5 have been maruti) but Gm please and i repeat please concentrate on the buyers vowes in goa the vasco main dealer needs some pro sales lessons ...very unfriendly and i have many other co gm fans in goa who agree...
  Posted by Ashesh at 11th March,2011

  Posted by Daljit Singh at 6th February,2010
Bros ! It has become a custom to bash GM no matter what ! Which manufacturer would want to delay the delivery unnecessarily ? There will definitely a great demand of the car. I have seen many beats on road in just a month. This is a brilliant car for the money they are giving it. Well done GM !
  Posted by CHO CHWEET, INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR at 6th February,2010
hey guys there r various plus points in it ...... 1. it is 79hp, 108 torque and 1197cc... this makes it more powerful, and the pick up is superb. 2. great interiors........ never seen before in any car.......new concept 3. perfect dimensions for indian small roads 4. GREAT OVERALL LOOKS Drawbacks 1. small boot space just 170 ltrs 2. tyre width is less now u urself can think, r these drawbacks avoidable............ for me yes ofcourse when i see its positive points....... GO FOR IT
  Posted by Rao ML at 5th February,2010
Dear Ram, I also booked the BEAT LTO on 18th Jan 2010 through Aravali ,Gurgaon. Initially they said that the car can be made available on 31st Jan 2010 and now they are saying that it will be available on last week of Feb 2010. I think General Motors is trying to create artificial hype on the car.
  Posted by ram at 4th February,2010
I have booket the beat LT(O) by regent auto in delhi on 14.01.2010 and his sale man is toll me sir car is delivey in last of jan but i am waiting for car is car is delay or delay
  Posted by Nish Kale at 3rd February,2010
I was just impressed when I saw it first time and after a long wait of two months it launched. I went for a test drive thinking that I will sell -off my ZEN Estilo and go for this stylish one. And I had to rethink. Coz looks are stylish but perfomance is not all that great compare to Zen Estilo. Agree...its a debateble point but yeh...
  Posted by SOMU at 3rd February,2010
IT HAS SPECIAL LOOKS,BUT DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS ITS COMPETITORS. PUNTO,RITZ,I10 ALL LOOK BETTER. GM HAS CATCHED COMPETITION WITH ENGINE, PERFORMANCE, INTERIORS, MORE IMPORTANTLY SUPERB PRICING WHICH IS THE TRIUMPCARD.
  Posted by Melwyn Rebello at 30th January,2010
i have booked the beat on 1st week of jan and i am told in goa we have to wait till last week of feb this is after paying 3 lac advance ... can GM pls clarify why the delay for goa beat buyers

WILL THERE BE ANY IMPACT OF GM`S FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ON THE NEW CHEV?
  Posted by Motorhead at 13th December,2009
Agree with 'Doc' above, it looks quite Tacky. Made-up. Garish. Cheesy. 'Like a hooker'. But the interiors look decent. Even so, if most people are put off by the looks as I expect, it would sink like a stone...
  Posted by Deepak at 10th December,2009
Wonderful, now all that it needs is a 165mm tyre & 40/60 split folding seats!
  Posted by Countach (yep) at 9th December,2009
Exactly the kind of stuff I would want to read about in the Web. All the essentials presented in nuggets make for a quick but informative read. Good show
  Posted by 'Doc' at 8th December,2009
Ugh! Another cheap/vulgar looking car! If this car is good-looking, then what do you call the Punto or the Linea? I'd say the Italian cars are beautiful, classy, timeless...not garishly painted hookers like these cheapos-Beat and the Ritz and their ilk! Let them get a bit old and then tell me... Doc
  Posted by Manish at 1st December,2010
  Villagers with conservative thaught process always thinks like that... get an eye operation and than put a comment...
  Posted by Tejus at 7th December,2009
The wheels appear to be out of proportion like most other cars in this price range. Still, GM finally seems to have winner!
