Cars Q&A

I too have the same issue with the I10 Era...Even a Indica diesel gets past very easily..May be attributed to the 12 valves of gets compared to the 16 of the wagonr..2 Inlet and 1 outlet port of the Getz..

Thanks, Nitin. I got the answer. That may be the reason Marutis are swifter than Hyundais!! If so one should think twice before considering Getz as upgrade from Wagon R!!! Anyway, Getz Prime is probably no longer in production now and I shall take very next opportunity to switch back to Maruti- may be new SX4 or even DZire though otherwise I am not unhappy about the car.

In order to climb inclines easily, or not be affected much by the A/C., engines don't need power as much as they need torque. Diesel engines have much higher torque and that is why the Indica probably doesn't worry too much about climbing inclines or about running the A/C all the time. The Wagon R engine breathes much better due to the added valve, but it might also produce greater mid range torque, which is the reason the Getz is weak in comparison.

The A/C fitted in Getz are power full. You can feel the coolness in some seconds. I am keeping Getz in diesel. I shall not feel any differences in riding either with a/c or with out a/c. My car engine is as in the same in Verna cars (1.5 diesel) After 2nd service, now I am getting 20 kms/litre. I am very much satisfied with my Getz.
