GETz 1.4 GL MT - 2006 vs GETz 1.5 CRDi VGT GL MT

[Vinsanity]

Sa panahon ngayon ano ang mas better buy for fuel efficiency, performance etc.? Balak kasi namin itrade in yun 1996 Sonata GL/GLS (not sure which) and Getz ang preferred car namin. Let say I travel from Pasig to Makati everyday

GETz 1.4 GL MT - 2006 518,000

GETz 1.5 CRDi VGT GL MT - 2006 628,000

>> February pa yun prices na ito, meron ba kayong updated price list?

[alwayz_yummy]

masmaganda ung crdi.....pagpalagay natin, magkasing tipid sila, it boils down sa price of fuel....obviously, diesel masmura....


maganda pa hatak nung diesel, di mo masyado mamimiss ang hatak ng sonata mo...

[Revenant]

Di ba may 30k discount yung Getz CRDI?

I've always had diesel vehicles. If the price premium of the gas vs diesel variant is not an issue for you, get the diesel. The diesel also has the most standard features in the line up (same as 1.4?)

The gas variant is not that bad either.

[oldblue]

getz diesel, parang kang nag-drive ng honda civic (previous models) sa responsiveness hehehe

[Mamar]

Get the crdi bro!
mura na diesel tas matulin pa!

[uwak18]

get the CRDi. Mas ok eto. You wont regret it. Sa Gas variant ok lang din.

[orly_andico]

kio rio nalang
530k lang

the price differential of the diesel is more than 100k.

assuming you drive 50km/day.

10km/L on the gasoline model, 15km/L on the diesel. so that's 5L/day on the gasoline, and 3.33L/day on the diesel. at 45pesos/L gas that's 225/day. at 38pesos/L diesel that's 126/day. You save roughly 100 pesos per day. to make up the cost differential you'd have to drive >3 years.

i guess ok na rin. pero mas mahal din maintenance ng diesel. lalo na yan it's a variable-geometry turbo.

kasing luwag ba ng jazz/city ang interior ng getz?

[OTEP]

pero mas mahal din maintenance ng diesel. lalo na yan it's a variable-geometry turbo.

This part is still debatable. Having to keep tabs of running costs between the gas and diesel rigs around here, they're pretty much even-steven. The diesels do have bigger filters and larger fluid capacities but they also don't have spark plugs and other ignition related maintenance items.

VGT has the same maintenance schedule as a fixed-geometry turbo. Though repairing a damaged VGT unit is potentially more expensive, turbo failures are rare.

Btw, unit prices are still the same on my July pricelist. Baka hindi pa naman nagtataas. Don't forget the discount. Or you can use it to get alloy wheels or free AV package (DVD) at no extra cost.

The thing is, if saving money is really on your mind, you should get the 1.1 Getz.

It should have nearly the same fuel consumption as the diesel Getz, and given that diesel prices are rising a bit more than gas prices... typically, diesel of ten or twenty years ago was 60-70% the cost of gas, now it's closer to 80%, it'd take around ten to twenty years of driving the diesel at 10,000 kms a year, to recoup the price difference from the 1.1 gas engine.

And that'd vary if you're buying on installment, as the diesel will have the biggest installments and the most added to its price by interest.

But, if you're picking between the 1.4 and the 1.5 CRDi, go ahead and spend the extra money on the diesel unit, as it's a quicker and more desirable car and should keep its resale value much better than the 1.4. And the difference in maintenance costs between a 1.4 and a 1.5, never mind which is diesel and which is gas, should be negligible.

best reason to buy a getz crdi or any sedan crdi is if you're planning to buy another crdi van or suv in the future.

in this world of costly fuel, maintenance, and repairs, this is just playing smart imho. who knows, maybe after expired warranty, you'll just have one mechanic to service a common engine.

just my 2 cents ... we have 2 hyundai crdi's already. in the future, if we have another chance we'll buy another crdi vehicle regardless if it's a ford, toyota, nissan, kia or hyundai.

hybrids cars are not the next step. it will be mainstream 10-15 years from now siguro. the next step is crdi gasoline-like engines. efficient, powerful and responsive.

but of course, the honda civic and jazz are the exception. gusto ko talaga ng civic, maporma na pinakamatipid pa sa consumption.

[oldblue]

add ko na din, diesel is the best way to go in the future. kahit na tumaas ang diesel sa europe and the states vs. gasoline. that wont happen here. and we have politics and the might class d&e to thank for it.

our government will just subsidize diesel continuously at the expense of gasoline car owners. why? it's easier to correct it on the executive level than to convert all PUV buses and jeepneys - major source of income of most pinoys nowadays. even commuters would prefer diesel puv's. if gasoline, baka 15 petot na kagad minimum fare hehehe

go with the flow lang ...

Yun discount ba alam na ng Hyundai store? I've read somewhere kasi na dapat ipakita mo sa diyaryo para ma-avail? Yun alloy Wheels alternative if you choose not to get the 30k discount or pwede both?
