1.1 Hyundai Getz GL vs 1.3 Toyota Vios J

[homer jay]

i'm driving a vios 1.3e also and 14-15 km/l na ang consumption ever since ginawa kong 2.5k to 3k rpm ang pagpapatakbo ko - new years resolution ko for 2006.

When I was driving MT before (Lancer itlog GLXi), bibihira lang naman ako mag-downshift ng lampas ng 2500rpm... mas mabilis kasi ang response ng manual tranny kaya nakakatutok parin. Pakiramdam ko rin kasi na mataas ang revs nung Civic A/T bago mag-downshift kaya medyo malakas talaga sya sa gas lalu na pag-traffic. I tested it on normal SLEX driving at nakaka-12-plus km/Li naman sya e. Kelangan ko lang siguro bumalik sa M/T. ...but oh, the convenience of an A/T when driving in heavy traffic!!!

how about getting a getz 1.5 crdi, i-down mo lang un ready mong pera then financing un natitira?

kaya i end up buying city.. not so crampy, plastic interior may onting touch ng chrome, cd indash, all power at syempre yung nagustuhan namin sa getz folding seats... at engine na IDSi (8 spark plugs), so far happy kami with the car...

I am not considering the CRDi Getz because it's too expensive for a Korean car (IMO lang po yun). The 1.3 i-DSI CVT is obviously my top choice for a practical car if money is not a concern (ULT seats, best interior in its segment, CVT tranny, very fuel efficient, etc, etc.)... unfortunately, I can't really stretch my budget to that amount at medyo pilit na nga ang Vios J, so I have to choose between those two.

Ano na nga pala ang binibigay na discounts ngayon for 1.1 Getz, 1.3 Vios J? Kung significantly larger ang discounts ng Vios E, City A, at City S (M/T), baka pwede ko pa silang i-consider (asa pa ako! hehe... ). Thanks!

I will definitely go for the Getz...alam mo ba kung bakit maganda ang exterior looks ng Vios, kasi sobrang panget ng interior nya..

Pag sakay mo pa lang sa Vios .pagsara ng pinto parang lata ng sardinas. aadjust mo side mirrors mo manual pa.. magchecheck ka ng warning lights titingin ka pa sa gitna.. tapos steel rims?? common..

In this case, if you can't stretch for any of the CRDi models or the iDSi Honda, then a Getz is a good choice.

Poor mileage from some owners indicates "driving it like a 1.6". That's common among owners of full-sized 1.3s. They drive it at the same speed as a bigger engined car and complain about gas mileage, when in fact, they're getting poor mileage just by driving it that much harder.

The Picanto De Luxe? errrhhh... at just 15k between the MT and the Getz 1.1, it's a no-brainer... Getz pa rin.

*homer_jay: It seems you've got your eye on the Korean but are looking for reassurances... truth is, no one can say how good these cars will be five years from now, but if the Getz is anything like its spiritual forebearer, the Pride, it'll be a relatively painless ownership experience.

I'd personally fork over a little more for the bigger 1.4 or CRDi, but a 1.1 is a perfect commuter car.

But if you can afford the extra for the Vios, go ahead. It's bound to have incredible resale value, and, honestly, since all these cars have such poor interiors, who cares about the interior?

1.4 na Getz ba diesel o gas?

[XRunner]

about dun sa fuel consumption.....yeah mga review nila sa mga korean cars dito, dun sila talo sa fuel efficiency though nagimprove na ang reliability nila.

Getz is the logical choice for me now... but as I said, I was having reservations on buying a Korean versus a Japanese.

Have no reservations. Korean cars are getting better these days. Good enough to be daily drivers. Maintenance lang naman ang kailangan. I've had mine for 16 months and have had no problems with it.

I'd go with the Getz... the facelifted version just looks like a French vehicle (just remove the Hyundai badge).

The base model Vios just looks el cheapo (steel rims w/o wheel covers) plus the interior looks old-ish too. Not worth the extra money over the Getz.

Though personally... I'd rather drive a Kia Picanto... the candy red paint just looks nice.

[orly_andico]

candy apple red getz!

i've also seen a matrix in that color. it's pretty appealing naman..

the 1.4L getz is a gas model. the 1.1L gets as low as 12km/L when driven "like a 1.6" as niky would put it. not surprising.. a FULLY LOADED 0.66L suzuki super carry with 8 people (jeepney of the new millennium) only gets 4km/L! that's Exped territory!

[theveed]

anong konsumo ng 1.4 usually?

[laracroft]

good taste sir mazdamazda!
i own a candy red picanto. hehehe.
though, on hindsight, i should have
gotten the green one with black bumpers.
ganda! looks so "europeanish", if ever there
was such a word. hehehe.

korean cars have definitely improved and i think that
they have nowhere else to go but up.
kia and hyundai have definitely learned
from their mistakes in the past.

2 or 3 years ago, i wouldn't buy a kia.
i still have some reservations regarding
korean-made cars. but those reservations
are fading as quickly as gasoline prices are rising. hehehe.
