1.4A getz or 1.6A getz??

[Florinelee]

hi fellow bros. i've decided to buy a Getz OPC and i intend to go to the car showroom this weekend. however, i still cant decide whether to get 1.4a or 1.6a. will have to carry full load usually (which means 5 adults including driver). the price difference between the 2 cars are abt $500 (i think.. anyone can cfm?) but im worried abt the FC. isit worth getting the 1.6 cos of the extra power and ABS? wad more difference are there b/w the 2 cars? also, wad freebies should i ask from my SE? thanks in advance for your advices!

Post this question in getzclub and you might get more response.

test drive with ur "full load"

 

not having test driven both, i'd suggest a 1.4A for u. better FC and lower road tax.

 

then again, u driving OPC, road tax and FC not so much of an issue. then go with 1.6A

 

ABS is a very good feature which sadly, is lacking in getz models below 1.6l

If most of the time need to ferry 5 adults including driver then better get a 1.5/1.6L car. If want good FC maybe should consider Latio or Axio.

[Hiphiphoray]

If im not wrong...Getz under 1.6l no air bags too. FC is nothing to shout abt.....majority 12-13km/ltr.

 

Why choose a Getz in the first place.....

 

Cerato , Lancer, Sunny OPC would have been a better choice....almost same price as Getz. Comes with a boot too.

I'm driving a 1.4A now... I think the diff in price with 1.6M is 500 but with 1.6A is maybe 1500... You gotta confirm this though...

 

Anyway for 5 adults, I will advise you to get a 1.6

[Florinelee]

i think 12-13 already very good lor.. anyway opc fc isnt really that impt.. cos my aunt can help me get a very good deal with the SE.. cerato-not to my liking, lancer-old engine, sunny-expensive.. i prefer a hatchback car..

[Florinelee]

ah? according to Lobangking's sponsored thread for the last round of COE the diff is less than 500 for both auto eh.. dunno wad's the new price for both cars..

[Hiphiphoray]

Oh....u prefer a hatchback.....errrrrr....i guess u are a female bah.

 

By the way.....my OPC Lancer giving me 12-13km/ltr also. Old engine but reliable and proven.

[Florinelee]

yup! here.. just passed my driving not long ago and parents decided to get an opc..

[Florinelee]

eh.. my parents got a budget lah.. these cars are ex and abit 'wasted' for an opc usage..

[Hiphiphoray]

oh....i have driven my SIL's 1.4l Getz before.....quite tough on the engine with 5 adults. If u must, choose a 1.6l Getz.

 

No point pushing hard on a 1.4l with 5 ppl....FC will be gone.

 

But i seriously think u should get a car with a boot....will come in handy when u least expected.

[Florinelee]

hmm i think can consider lancer probably.. but the engine is quite old right? wad more disadvantages are there for lancer?

[Hiphiphoray]

I think the only disadvantage is the low torque bah...aka slow pick-up. Other than that, stock tyre is noisy above 100km/hr. Now so cheap....50k for a auto Lancer. Make in Japan somemore. Interior nothing especial....very plain one. But its great value for money.

 

I driven my OPC Lancer to Melaka, Port Dickson, Desaru.....ok mah. Push it 180km/hr for a few seconds.....this car not meant for high speed..not a good idea...floating feeling and engine damn noisy.

if u want newer engine tat's the newly launched lancer EX

since u r going down to hyundai showroom maybe can take a look at Verna. comes with 1.4 and 1.6L engine too

[Jl1500k]

Lancer engine is old but still going strong and stay till 2010. When new lancer launch then is a good buy for old lancer.

[Porche]

get a lancer now better cheap cheap
