Rm2s 5th Gear April 7, 2008 Share April 7, 2008 Did a search for car below 30K, auto and direct owner sale in sgcarmart. Found a Getz 1.4A, Feb 2005. Asking $28,800. Questions are: 1. Is Getz a reliable car to own? 2. Is fuel consumption good? 3. Who are the expert workshop for Getz? Or will I be better off going back to AD? 4. What to look out for in a 3-year old Getz? In the same price range, there are a lot of Kia Picanto, around or slightly newer. I am thinking of getting a small car for my wife, must be auto and small so that it is easy to park. She will use it for errands and driving around the neighbourhood, so, nothing fancy. Stock car will be preferred actually. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_wong_cm Clutched April 7, 2008 Share April 7, 2008 Space wise Getz is better then PICANTO, but FC PICANTO should be better as it is much lighter. Or you can consider Perodua Kelisa EZ 1.0A which is cheaper and still get can quite good FC. http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-2AfM6mSk-1000.html. My choice would be PICANTO for better FC than Getz.

Simply_lex Neutral Newbie April 7, 2008 Share April 7, 2008 u sure is early 2005? the facelift version comes in earliest in late 2005 or early 2006. 1.4A belongs to facelift version. in early 2005, only available 1.3A, 1.6A and 1.6M. That's it. Reliability, my ex-1.6M never give me a single problem. The ride was with me for 3 years +. from my experience, very reliable. There's one authorised komoco workshop in Yishun Industrial park, named Worthy, look for AH Meng. Just look out for if there's the getz was TC before or heavily modded. I wonder if you are allow to get permission from your dealer if able to let the above mentioned workshop for checking the necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rm2s 5th Gear April 7, 2008 Author Share April 7, 2008 Thanks. In this case sounded like a Picanto would suits my purpose better. Personally I prefer the look of Getz. Oh well, for under 30K and to attain cheap running costs, I supposed one cannot ask for too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the budget by a few K and you can get yourself a Rio auto(hatch or sedan)that's 2006 or 2007, not that big a car either.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphoray 6th Gear April 8, 2008 Share April 8, 2008 For a small car, the FC is surprising not good. Abt 12km/ltr nia. Pick-up damn poor. If sit 4 adults can hear the engine buffing like hell....like me running 2.4 km like that.(i always fail IPPT one ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyboy 1st Gear April 8, 2008 Share April 8, 2008 budget korean auto trans is quite drove my fren's pica and another fren's chevy aveo hatch.. both lack power even though they shd be more powerful than my already underpowered ride floor the throttle, gearbox will kickdown n engine will rev, but the progress is still slow that can't be helpful for FC jap makes auto trans still decent not sure abt the mid-range to high end koreans like cerato, avante and above though. my guess is that they shd be ok but haven't personally tried them yet.

Toalson 1st Gear April 10, 2008 Share April 10, 2008 KNS its only 1.3A when did u give me the extra 0.1cc For a small car running on AT, i would say the FC is not too bad at 12km/l Of course not mention the Jazz which is way better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altivo 3rd Gear April 10, 2008 Share April 10, 2008 yup.... FC is no good. I was previously driving a 1.3A Getz.... average FC was at 9 plus km/l another than that, i've no complain. Nice reliable car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
