February 1st, 2011 11:29 AM #1Hello Sirs / Ma'ams!
I've been backthreading and I've read a lot about the Getz and Picanto comparisons. But specifically, when it comes to safety, how do you think these cars fare? We're thinking of getting a small car for its FC and the low tag price but we're worried about how safe they are.
Aside from these two cars, do you recommend any other sub-subcompact cars (of similar FC, and price range for second hand units) based on safety?
Thanks!

February 1st, 2011 12:11 PM #3Thanks Ghosthunter! I actually saw these results before posting this thread but I'm not actually sure how to interpret them (aside from the Star ratings) and if the test results are reliable.

Simple, more stars/points, the better.
Or you can look at the passenger protection rating. Green & yellow are fine. If it gets to the browns & red, you can get seriously hurt in an accident.
So given that, the Hyundai GETZ is the better car than the Picanto in terms of safety.
As for the Euro NCAP test being reliable, it is a standard testing done in Europe which have cars that are sold here. Alternative is the US based tests but many cars here aren't available there.Last edited by ghosthunter; February 1st, 2011 at 12:21 PM.

We had two Getz. Sold the other one.
The Getz gets my vote for safety. Its sheet metal is definitely thicker than my "onion-skinned" Civic. But this comes at a price... fuel economy. FE is not as good as you would expect from a 1.1L (what we have) due to the poor power to weight ratio. It's a tank, nevertheless.
If you're settling on the Getz, get the stronger gas model or CRDi diesel, if available.

February 2nd, 2011 04:16 PM #10grabe naman yon, 1.1l consumes 7-9km/l! My 2.0 innova consumes the halos the same at 8kpl.
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
