Gohsj89 1st Gear August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 (edited) 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? Edited August 25, 2010 by Gohsj89 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeniz Turbocharged August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 (edited) 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? Edited August 25, 2010 by Albeniz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hp93868686 Clutched August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 Getz 1.1M , good F/C and problem free after 4 years of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 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....

Leecc73 Neutral Newbie August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 I own both cars before, handling picanto cant fight with getz, and the built is more rugged for getz. go for getz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 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....

Ken4555 1st Gear August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 a picanto is made for a 1.1liter engine... case closed... a getz has versions up to 1.6liters... handling and everythng wins the picanto hands down... except maybe FC..... i wouldnt drive either but if die die must than the getz i guess....

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 Getz is the buy of the day then, between the 2 cars.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 I drive a Getz. If your fren dun need the extra space get the Picanto. You will always need the extra space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 it's always good to have that extra space over a supermini.... haha.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 27, 2010 Share August 27, 2010 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.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
