Hyundai Getz

[Emilsu]

Hi ,,I thought of my buying new Getz..any opinion from others??

How's the car performed??

Hi..

 

What sort of performance are you looking at? And which version are you looking to get?

 

The Getz comes in 1.3L SOHC and 1.6L DOHC version and only the 1.6L has a manual transmission model. However, the 1.6L manual Getz only comes in 3-dr version, ala Ignis Sport pattern.

 

Power to weight ratio, the 1.6 would be the definite choice of course.

[Emilsu]

Maybe Want to try 1.3L Getz,this 1st car,just passed driving moreover small family

[Wbucket]

Can test drive it. Anyway, chevrolet aveo is also about that price range, you might want to take a look. If on a budget, Kelisa auto is a good buy too, BUT only for the budget minded.

 

Back to the topic, 1.6 Getz would be the best buy. For 4k more(I think), you have better engine (small family is still a family), air bags, ABS, and other packages. Try it out, you wouldn't be disappointed. 1.3 seems to be more for single riders who are quite tight on the wallets.

Getz 1.6 dun have airbags nor ABS..

No.. I dun hv the getz.. my friend told me it does not come with them.. He drives one..

[Wbucket]

I know Getz1.3 doesn't have those. But when we asked the SE the difference between 1.3 and 1.6, there are airbags and ABS mentioned. Guess it is best to new buyers to check it out for himself.

1.6L comes with ABS only, no airbags. I know coz I owned one.

I changed my mind from Getz to Matrix

as Getz too small

[Silver_blade]

That's a big move. Still a good choice nevertheless.

[Jusnel]

dun get Matrix...... FC is crap. this is what i hear from ppl. and it's noisy.

 

lots of Matrix are been sold away to 2nd car dealers by owners. (sorry for offending Matrix owners here......)

 

maybe Matrix owners can give advise on this?

getz 1.6L comes with ABS and comes in both 5door and 3 door version and spoiler,15" sports rims,cd changer, is default now.

 

engine is 4 value DOHC. displacement is about 1598cc (or something like that).

 

in terms of displacement, it is more than most 1.6L engines of your popular cars on the road. (1.5L engines of vios/ignis of coz less than 1500 lar)

 

in terms of weight, it is 200kg lighter than a matrix and is lighter than a toyota altis.

 

 

best thing about this car is it handles well, because of its firewall design, u don't need to add in a strut bar. and its sort of built like a tank (dont quote me). i've seen someone with getz knocked into a toyota and the getz's got just scratched but the bumper of toyota caved in.

 

and best of all, width wise, it is about 10-15cm smaller and length wise 20cm shorter than a matrix. how can it be cramp? since most of the reduction is at the boot and bonnet area?

 

oh yes. to add...

FC for getz 1.6A is about 10-13km/L

FC for matrix 1.6A is about 7-9km/L.

 

if you strictly just want to compare FC, go get a honda CITY, since they boasting 17km/L.

Heard they not longer selling the City iDSI but only hv the vtec version.

[Ronnie]

hmmm... so means no more 17km/l? (engine too economical huh? )

 

anyway, i dont like honda designs .... too plain looking, get liao must put on body kit.. else cannot see the light. hahahhaha.

[Toalson]

I still tot if car prices keep falling maybe can change my 1yr old ride for the city. Dun mind the look but love the space just like the cerato

[Ronnie]

haiz. i was attracted to the FC.....

[Toalson]

Yes true FC was another fatal attraction. But not sure if u upgrade to 15"...
