2005 Hyundai Matrix CRD-i * P649K

[joeycaro]

A sales rep from Wheels Inc. said that HARI will be releasing 5 new models next month - MARCH 2005.

a) Matrix 1.6 Diesel CRDi - 649K
b) Getz 1.1 MT - 410K
c) Getz 1.3 AT - 515K
d) 2005 Sonata with new name?
e) Tucson SUV - no price

The Matrix diesel gets 20KPL average and same fit and finish as any Honda Jazz or City! The Getz is the winner of the WHAT CAR? 'Budget Car 2003' and 'Scottish Car of the Year 2003' awards! What else do you want!!!

Ganda ng mga offerings ng Hyundai ngayon, ha. And the prices are just about right.

I'm willing to bet that they have better stocks and sales practices than Columbian (Kia).

guys, any pics?

some info on the Getz: http://www.hyundai.com.au/getz_intro.asp

The lines of the car are much simpler vs. the Jazz but the price is very attractive. Best small car down under last 03. Maganda yan marami competition para ok sa mga consumers been reading up on the crdi of Hyundai and it seems may pagka sensitive nga sa kind of diesel na ika-karga mo. Kailangan malinis. Some users in Europe had to change injection pumps after 20k km coz of bad fuel.

Mas better ang quality naman ng Getz kaysa sa Picanto. Baka sumikat ang Matrix dahil sa CRDi.

i also hope it beats the picanto, just to show kia (Columbian motors) that you cant fool consumers into increasing your price just because of the demand. Now with a better competitor on hand, i wish that kia would reialize their mistake and bring their prices back down becuase more people would rahter have a getz than a picanto.
Finally a car with a diesel engine. i hope the matrix CRDI will be successful in the phil, so that more car manufacturers would bring in diesel variants of their cars.

Here is the test review results of whatcar of uk between the Getz, Picanto & Jazz. Since the Picanto's price was increased from 310K to 360K in less than a month, bad move for Kia.

The Getz wins hands down over the picanto overall but it also wins over the Honda Jazz in the "In the Cabin Data" ! ! ! With the Jazz worth P180K more, the Getz is the best car for the price and comes with the best fun to drive factor pa.
