My friend thinking of getting a small car.
Initially wanted Hyundai Getz 1.1M but I thought of Kia Picanto 1.1M. Which will be a better choice? Maintenance wise same? Spare parts? This post has been edited by Gohsj89: Aug 25 2010, 10:15 PM |

I prefer Getz for its larger leg room for the rear passenger.
More comfortable for occasional long distance travel (e.g. to Malaysia). Why not create a poll? This post has been edited by Albeniz: Aug 25 2010, 10:10 PM |

is your friend after the 'square headlights' or 'rounded headlights' version of the Picanto???
cos the rounded version has a better built interior, and if your friend managed to get hold of a used 2010 Picanto (which comes with a lot more features such as rear electric windows, new Kia's steering wheel design, rear headrests).... he'd be better off with the above version of the Picanto.... or else, it's the Getz anyday.... it has a bigger boot, slightly larger rear seats, and a larger road presence than the Picanto which is so important these days to be noticeable.... -------------------- The Married Men 91.3FM |

I own both cars before, handling picanto cant fight with getz, and the built is more rugged for getz. go for getz

getz is a preferred buy over the Picanto lah....
if it's the manual version, get the Getz 1.1M.... if your friend wants an auto, then the Picanto 1.1A is the only car between these 2 that has an auto gearbox in 1.1L engine size.... -------------------- The Married Men 91.3FM |

I drive a Getz.
If your fren dun need the extra space get the Picanto. You will always need the extra space.

Yeah thats right!
The Getz has one weakness, it has the most horrible steering wheel - ugly and hard plastic. Get a nice leather one as its the only thing he has to hold every time he drives.

it was one of the most robust build Korean car when it was launched....
but with the i20 being the replacement model, the Getz does age well i must say.... -------------------- The Married Men 91.3FM |
