Chevrolet Beat
The Smartech motor has a decent top end and pulls strongly to its rev limit but its thrashy and raucous nature at high revs does not encourage visits to the redline. The attractive interiors, combined with its impressive quality, makes the Beat quite a special place to be in.The instruments and switches operate with a meaty feel and the nicely textured plastics are among the best we have seen in a small car. - Manoj Kumar
