  How much you plan for the first downpayment?
  
  Getz's FC isn't quite good. For my usage (2000km/mth), might have to set S$250-S$300 just for petrol. Parking 60-90(MSCP). Working place session parking? Let's forget installment for a while, to be safe you need at least 500-600 per month. Then add in your installment, that will be your safe sum to set aside for your car per month.

  Well, if you really want to enjoy owning a car u can try OPC. It will lighten you burden. although so, I will recommend to those who actually need the car to travel around during restricted timing.

  Or consider Picanto. Up front it already save you 10k. Plus its operating cost is lower because of its FC. Could save you another 1k per year.

  Same price? I thought there is about a 6k-8k differences in price? Anyway, Picanto have a slightly lesser operating cost because it is lesser in CC and better in FC.
  
  Get Getz because you like the car, not because it is cheap to get.
