Acethis Neutral Newbie September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 That's a good intro... beautiful car with a basic engine... reminds me of the Suzuki Swift 1.0L... it can't burn rubber but it gets the job (moving people around) done economically that's the most important factor these days... petrol price is making everyone suffer... this 1.1L Getz should elevate some "pain" the tax & insurance should be rock bottom... great option for 1st car buyers and with proper care, this car should be no problem to be able to serve well for more than 7 years if priced correctly, this will be a potential winner watch out picanto & kelisa... competition's coming... a beautiful one too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEye Neutral Newbie September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 true.. wif the petrol hike, i guess ppl buying smaller cc car will go up too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vit4wd 1st Gear September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 I am still guessing the Getz 1.1M weight. If its anything heavier than the Picanto's 930kg, then fuel economy will take a steep dive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Neutral Newbie September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 The old model is slightly over 1 ton so i think the new model may not differ that much... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 (edited) 1030kg one place...another says 998 Edited September 22, 2005 by RadX Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altivo 3rd Gear September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 (edited) Yup agreed!.. Pre-FL Getz has a kerb weight of 1108 kg and Korean cars are known to be much heavier than their Sushi counterparts due to a more robust and rigid body. Heard of people commenting that their Nissan Sunnies feels floaty at ard 110 km/h. I have whacked up to 155 km/h on the 1.3 Getz and it feels solid and stable! I realised people tend to look only at the engine capacity without factoring the weight of the car. Just compare the following FC figures (Pre-FL): 1.6L is averaging 14km/litre of petrol 1.3L is averaging 11-12km/litre of petrol Get the picture?? No doubt a 1.1 entry level Getz will be price at rock-bottom price and insurance + road tax would be cheap as well. But with a full load of 5 passangers, the driver would have to "push" his engine hard. Any savings might be taken up by the petrol.... Just my 2-cents worth!!

Vit4wd 1st Gear September 22, 2005 Share September 22, 2005 1030kg one place...another says 998 Even at 998kg, it is heavier than PIcanto's 930kg, and even heavier than 1.5l Vios. Shd give this heavy weight 1.1l Getz a miss. Body way too heavy for puny 1.1l engine Power & pick up prob worse than 1l Kelisa. Consumption prob same or worse than 1.5l Accent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Clutched September 24, 2005 Share September 24, 2005 I would rather they bring in the 1.6M 5dr Getz.. Drove it in aussie and had a great time ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
