GetZ 1.6 Automatic

  the 1.6L getz is a car with pretty decent power. for its price, its really quite tempting if u're looking for an hatch back. but i think it would be better wif they come wif electric wing mirrors instead of the manual ones.
  
  as for accent, it's a pretty budget type of car. the appearence look outdated but i haf a colleague who drove it for 4 yrs+ and had no problems wif it. he recently changed into a nissan sunny ss though. between the new generation accent & getz, i would still say getz is a better choice. i believe the new accent would probably be in the range of 54-58k.

  Hi ,
  
  Haven't got it yet, my SE informed me on the july 10. So got to wait patiently.
  
  Generally, I do feel a 1.6 DOHC engine do feel a punch in a mini car compare to a 1.3 SOHC engine.
  
  As for resale value. I am not very sure.
  
  But doesn't matter, I love this car.

  Hi... i love Getz too... but juz feel that the back seats are a bit narrow, i encountered this prob when my parents came to visit me when i was in aust. The leg room is restricted.
  
  Anyway other than that, its a superb car. sporty, and cool, quite easy to park.
  
  i think the 1.3 litre one is aso a DOHC engine.
  Only the accent is using a 1.3 litre SOHC.

  oh.. juz visited http://singapore.hyundai-motor.com/
  
  discovered that 1.6 is aso SOHC (under Specification for GetZ)
  Then another main page (Performance), wrote DOHC for 1.6 litre.
  
  Blur manz...

  Thanks. Noted.
  
  I went to to showroom twice, I open the front engine panel and it is a DOHC..
  The SE also said it is a DOHC engine too for 1.6 auto.
  
  I will remember to check when I get the car.

  Bro, no need to panic... 1.6 Getz is 100% DOHC. By the way, i'm driving a Getz 1.6M... Never regretted changing to this car from my Lancer 1.3M! Powerful, sporty, low depreciation, affordable, good suspension. What more can you ask for? By the way, i'm getting 13-14km/l on my ride. =)

  Am waiting for the new accent because i think it comes with a new engine. The next round of new Hyundai (Sonata + Accent) should help them catch up with Jap cars in terms of technology. Not so sure about any version < 1.6 .
  
  Nevertheless, personally, I found Hyundai to be more reliable than other korean cars and given the price tag, there is nothing to complain about.
  
  The only odds is the raising petrol prices...

  if i'm correct, korean car is much more harder ( heavier ) then jap car, thus FC suffer.
  
  anyway if you wanna know more about getz, go to www.getzclub.com to find out more..

  seriously dude forget e idea of buying a GETZ. haf u seen e dashboard and aricon vent? they seriously look like craps and cheapo plastic. and fugly dash design too.. and as they always say "pay peanuts GETZ monkey". try considering getting a car that will match ur status. i am sure getz is way below ur status.

  Definitely must learn from you guys how you all differentiate cheap plastic with good plastic. I could never tell, although my bro kept telling me "See See cheap plastic, ......" He was comparing Jazz and City then.

  well actually if u aint seen it before then u could take a look at e door handle on the inside of e car. the one then u pull to open e door. it has e same quality as e picanto and it look damn flimsy loh. look like will break when u gif it a hard thug. and if u had done plastic modelling before u will notice it looks like this unpaint plastic. realli an eyesore. i bet e kelisa is a much better choice thou small.
