Hyundai Getz! My new baby-to-be
-
Hi all,
I'm switching job soon, and i'm staying at east area but most probably my new job will be at Tuas. And best part is, they start work at 730am.
So, i'm planning to get a new car as the company subsidises a little for transport. After some discussion with my bro, i came up with 3 options:
1) picanto
2) Proton
3) Getz
Among the 3, i prefer Getz most in terms of appearances. But i'm noob and superficial, thus would like to ask if you guys have any comments on Getz? Fuel consumption wise and performances? -
budget? and how r u looking at the car.. pure transport? or some performance? or is fuel efficency of outmost impt?
-
hi joanne!
welcome back~
i think picanto or getz shd be ok
dun relli trust proton
u can try the suzuki swift (eerr.....dunno isit swift or wat)
got many colors
saw alotta ladies driving tt -
if its only 3 options den i get the getz
-
looking at her selection of cars, think her budget for a new car is around that level (<53K).
get the getZ. 1.3 should be alright in the FC dept.
picanto is cute too.
not worth getting the msian car. personally don't think too well of it. esp in their parts department. -
getz, honestly? Fuel consumption not just not so good. To be honest the FC gave me quite a shock when I drove one, after having driven a Corolla with a bigger engine for a month before that.
-
picanto is 30++ k nia now i think... not too sure tho... but if its <53k budget.. may i suggest the vios?

You still remember me! =) After quite a few years.. hee
Anyway, i realli know nuts about cars (other than driving) and my driving skills seriously sux too. I don't like nissan march appearance, so not considering it. I am using it purely for transportation purposes, and budget for monthly is $800-900 (including fuel & everything). Any suggestions or comments on Getz? TIA! -
Oh ya, i think Suzuki swift is cute too! nice. but i'm not sure of the price/monthly instalments and FC too. Advices? Gum sia!

haha, u will be surprised man...i've seen lady driver having mod their car both aesthetically and performance..and the end result?? impressive..Originally posted by ppinkpponk:lady driver, mod ge pi? -
hahahaha.
i spray my car bright pink!
i'm not intending to do any mods, and performance wise, as long as car can move and FC is low, i'm fine with it. but cannot be too lousy lah (eg. picanto, you need to manually wind down the windows) -
piconto ok ok but if u have more $$ choose at least the sunny?Originally posted by joanne:hahahaha.

wat i can suggest is tt this weekend, get someone to acc u to the various showrooms to test drive the cars of ur choices. nothing beats 1st hand experience... -
vios.
-
vios is over budget (from wat i know). anyone can enlighten me the comparison between picanto & getz? TIA!
-
within the 3 choices... i would think there is very little difference cept that the getz would not be very frugal with fuel..Originally posted by joanne:*waves to FireIce*

personally.. would go for the vios.. or even the altis.. with the prices now.. u 10 yr loan would still be within ur budget.. + u get a bigger but more frugal engine.. smoother ride.. big boot..
unless of coz ur looking exclusively at hatchbacks (cars without the butt) then picanto / opel corsa 1.1 / perodua kelisa... or with a lil luck.. u might even fit a honda jazz into ur budget
most impt.. bring someone who knows about cars around this weekend and go test drive.. the person can give u more insight about the car u drove... and u can feel how the car feels in ur hands..
cheers! -
if i not wrong la.... 43k for auto vios...Originally posted by joanne:vios is over budget (from wat i know). anyone can enlighten me the comparison between picanto & getz? TIA! -
picanto: comes in 1.1L AT and ATOriginally posted by joanne:vios is over budget (from wat i know). anyone can enlighten me the comparison between picanto & getz? TIA!
Getz: 3 different variant of engine capacity. 1.1L MT, 1.4L AT/MT, 1.6L AT/MT.
Getz have 3 doors or 5 doors variant, picanto only have 5 door version.
personally, if i'm gonna get the getz, i would go for at least 1.4 if not 1.6. reason being all 3 share the same chassis, same body. imagine a 1.1L engine pulling a 1.6L body. it will be hell man.
a fren of mine is driving picanto MT. with 30L of petrol, he can easily clock 450KM. some mods he did was to change stock rims to 15" rims and open pod. 70% highway 30% city.
