2008 Getz 1.1 M/T vs 2008 i10 1.1 M/T

[dingch]

after 2 months of searching and searching and with my limited budget im down to these 2. Too reluctant to buy secondhand.

Usage: I have a 2004 SUV that's i LOVE but hate the FC. So im looking for a second car, to save gas. This will be basically city driving, by myself, once or twice a week with wife-baby-yaya.

Getz is 488K
i10 is 498K

I drove both to get a feel, and to me both seems ok. Thats why the decision
to me is very close thats why i need all your combined expertise. Im sure each one of you will bring up things that i wouldnt be able to think of. Pasensya na di na kaya ng powers ko to think it through...

Thanks mga fellow tsikoteers

Hmm...
i10 more (power) features (CMIIW), fresher look, most likely ...
getz 1.1 - spartan, but has been around for 3 years (i.e. parts might start to be more available now), slightly bigger cabin (CMIIW).
Does the i10's rear seat tumble and fold? If not, if you're concerned about versatility in cargo carrying capacity, I would recommend the getz. If yes, whew... makes it even tougher a decision.
So, if you're in to being more "in" by having the "latest" (in the looks category) toy and leaning to have more tech in your purchase, I think the i10 would fit your needs.
My apologies, I'm just sharing based on my experience with a Getz as I have yet to see an i10 in person.... though I hope this helps.

The only thing that could make me go i10 is if it is compared with the Picanto, cos versus the Pica, it holds better value. More features and newer design.

But i think the Getz even though older is still better. But you cant go wrong with the i10 either. It has features galore and I think it is the smallest and cheapest car around with a driver's airbag (the gen1 Jazz 1.3S dont even have this.).

No the i10's rear seat is just "fold" and doesn't "tumble". Also, the manual i10's rear seat is bench-type not 60/40. I sat in the rear of the two cars and its about 3-4 inches from knees to front seat in the getz and about 2 inches in the i10

From what I remember, the Getz interior is somewhat bigger than the i10's, and I'm not all that impressed by the interior quality improvement of the i10 over the Getz (actually, I still like the Getz's interior).

What you do get with the i10 over the Getz is the more modern chassis, which is responsible for the 1-star improvement on the EuroNCAP (4 stars... great for a micro-car) over the Getz (3 stars), and the possibility that they've refined the drivetrain (the Getz's manual tranny can get a bit grungy over time). Also, as a newer model, the i10's resale value will stay higher than the outgoing Getz's after three years.

But I think the Getz is still worth the money. This is one of the few budget cars that's actually comparable in size to the Jazz and the Yaris, and if you can still get one at under 500k, it's a damn good bargain.

Mas malaki pala interior ng Getz. I didn't fit in before whatever adjusting I did, my knees would come in contact with the steering wheel.

With the i10, kasyang-kasya ako. Better seating position i guess.

ya i agree with you horsepower. At the helm the driver's seat seems to be higher so that the knees are lower and doesnt hit the steering wheel. Feels like a small "SUV" in terms of seating posture. While the Getz's seat is deeper at the cockpit kaya parang lubog and knees are slighly elevated. i think this is what they mean by "thigh support".

[lui]

i10 nalang sir. dami features na wala sa getz. lalu na ung engine temp. wla kasi sa getz un. mas malapad getz pero legroom parang lamang ata i10.

[B2Bomber]

hmm... so the temp gauge was brought back with the i10? I wonder why they had to remove that in the first place when they introduced the FL Getzes and replaced it with an "idiot light"... good thing the Pre-FL Getzes had them.

[C#@RD]

I was also in the same dillema before dingch.

Buti na lang hindi ako naging triggerhappy sa pagbili ng small car at nagintay ako.

My choices before were the picanto, getz and jazz.

since there was news on the new jazz napilitan ako mag intay until nakita ko yung thread ni sir lui na ipapasok yung I10, I was really looking forward for the car with the least expectations as long as 1.1 displacement sabi ko ok na.

since masyado steep yung jazz when it was released at 707k we removed that from the list.

so naging getz(MT), picanto(MT) and i10(MT) na yung list.

dito na ako nag compare, my priority was just the FC since mabigat sa gas yung SUV namin 6-7km/l lang, And ako lang magisa nag dridrive every day di siya practical.

My qualifications for purchasing the car was engine displacement, curb weight and price. bonus na lang yung features.

Engine displacement.(my choices were equal on the engine)

Getz 1.1
Picanto 1.1
I10 1.1

Curb weight(from motioncars.com)

Getz - 985KG (MT)
Picanto - 941KG (MT)
I10 - 880KG (MT)

Price(prices from http://www.myhyundai.com.ph/ and http://philippines.kia-global.com/

Getz - 488K (MT)
Picanto - 560K (MT)
I10 - 490K (MT)

since medyo steep yung picanto sa price hindi na namin sinama yung picanto, naging Getz vs I10 na your dillema sir dingch.

Price wise 10K lang yung difference ng getz and I10 and ako lang naman nag dridrive daily I really don't need the space ng getz.

And my priority was fuel efficiency medyo mabigat yung weight ng getz at Getz - 985KG (MT) vs I10 - 880KG (MT) so medyo + ang I10.

For me I really didn't expect na maganda specs ng I10 pero I was surprised na for the I10 meron na siyang Driver airbag(MT), 3rd brakelight, foglamps, etc.... super bonus features na talaga for me.

Ang nagustuhan pa namin with hyundai was the warranty 5yrs or 100,000km what comes first warranty.

That's why the winner for me was the I10.

I used this links this might help.

If you are into the features pala sir dingch.

added features ng i10 compared to the getz.(from motioncars.com)

The i10 has Rear spoiler w/3rdbrakelight, rear wiper and washer system, power steering, power windows, power locks, Keyless entry with alarm and immobilizer and fog lights.

C*#RD, i have to say, you post was concise and straight to the point! Why didnt i think of that? SUV din pala gamit mo and also looking for a second small car (am i right?). I like the extra space of the getz since from time to time (although not often) ill be bringing along my wife and daughter. But the "cool factor" of the i10 is really off the scale. Loaded talaga kasi...
Hmmm, family vs cool factor...Decisions! Decisions!

[C#@RD]

sir dingch, first day we got the car last saturday we were 4 I was with my gf, mom and sister. ok pa din ride pero you are right compared to the getz guaranteed mas spacious yung getz.

Anyways in the end it will still be you who will decide. balitaan mo na lang kami kung anong unit kinuha niyo sir. jazz na lang hehehehehe...

[paolorenzo]

I'm an idiot with gear ratios, but what's the better car for stop-and-go traffic? Sobrang stop and go itong area namin, feeling ko tricycle capital of the world eh. That's why I only get a pathetic 4.5kms/liter on my Revo VX200. And that's why I need a micro car for my daily drive. Help naman with your inputs. I need a car with ample torque for low gear driving.

[niky]

The Getz's first two ratios are too long for the engine. Word is Hyundai adjusted the ratios on the i10 to make for better driveability.

Indeed, from the brochures, the final drive of the i10 appears to be shorter, which should make for peppier performance. Won't know till we get one, though.

Ya they probably did change the ratios. Felt different when i test drove the two. I think the adjustment (if any) in the i10 made it feel more responsive. However, ive been using an automatic SUV for a long time now which felt slow and heavy so im also probably just not used to the brisk gear changes of a light manual subcompact.

Also the choices of colors in the i10 are more varied, sa bagay bagong labas nga naman. The remaining colors of the getz seems dated na kasi. Ganda ng oyster gray ng i10, available lang in manual not in matic.

[basti08]

btw, yung Getz 1.1L sa motioncars is inaccurate. The Getz 1.1L has power windows and central locking too. Keyless can be had if you make konting 'kulit' sa dealer. If you like AT variant mas ok ang Getz 1.4L AT. 578K lang or about 40k north of the i10's price. Note that the i10 1.1L AT does not have airbag too. Plus with the Getz 1.4L, you get all the features of the i10 AT plus a bigger 1.4L engine plus lots more room in the cabin.

Thanks for the input basti...but I dont think i can spare the extra pesos any further. Sagad na budget ko and besides, the 1.4 getz though loaded, will also consume more fuel. Matakaw na yung first vehicle ko kaya ang hanap ko 1.1 lang.
