        Yes it is crappy straight from Japan,I say even the Etios and its sibling is like a tractor,Ouch Tata Vista is better than this car,Friend what will you get after paying 6 lakhs for diesel version only the standard features,But look at the competition,they are far more better this car.I say The company ppl are just selling a soapbox with wheels.

        i10 and Beat are very close, and often it is a personal choice based on looks. Hyundai has a larger service network, but Chevrolet is not bad either. Spacewise Beat is very slightly ahead of the i10.
