the hyundai and inokom version both have the same engine right? cos my gf driving a hyundai getz 1.4. i always drive her car, and the pickup and the engine sound are very nice. the burbling exhaust makes u wanna go faster whenever possible. of course going faster means higher fc, and it's very noticeable with this car. i also drive a 1.3 saga blm which is way way much slower than this getz, but the fc better. it's a really good car and i can assure u that u wont be disappointed! oh, by the way, the car vibrates above 130kph, but drive below that and everything will be nice and smooth. great for city driving.

nice stereo too, i think her car got pioneer... not sure, but sounds way better than saga's clarion. and the door shuts firmly with a nice thud, even though the car almost 2 years already. my saga loses the nice "thud" when u close the door after a few months only. steering a bit rough and plasticky, and kinda big too, doesnt feel very sporty. anyway, sorry i can only compare the getz with saga cos those are the only two cars i've driven the way i want to. i drove other cars too but cannot give comparison cos my parents wont let me speed in their nissan x-trail and serena..

Added on April 16, 2009, 7:13 pmdidnt measure, but the tank empties faster than the saga whenever i drive from selayang to sunway. can see the meter going down bit by bit. but maybe it's bcos i drive the car real hard, cos i really cant drive this car slowly cos it's real fun to floor the pedal! flooring the pedal of the saga only turns up the engine noise, but there's no power at all. fc doesnt matter much when u've got a car this fun to drive. sure it's no ferrari, but it's a great car for it's price.

if u can find the se edition, get it! cos those rims are hot! and oh, another thing u should know is that the hyundai getz's spare tyre is a very small tyre, sort of like the kinda tyre that they use in the "kereta sorong semen" u know... and u have to pump it to 420kpa, which the pump could not manage cos they can only pump 400kpa maximum. and it's damn scary pumping the thing at such high pressure, afraid the tyre meletup. hehe. and my getz didnt have the fc measurement thing, maybe old model kot. since the new one have vvt and better fc, it'll be better than the already good car it is! so why not? and dont worry about space cos the thing feels like driving a sedan, but parking is still easy. spacious car, and kinda wide. cos i think it's easier to hug my gf in the car when im driving my saga. in the getz i have to reach out further. hehe. and i dont think it's worth waiting for the i20... just look at i10's ridiculous price tag...
a few more things i love and hate about the getz
pros:
-stereo has mp3
-it has rear wiper
-did i already mentioned that it was fun to drive? and the engine sounds like a sporty 2.0 coupe. totally different than my saga's 1.3 campro which sounds like a vacuum cleaner when u floor it.
-when the car is loaded with people, and gets heavier, it kinda feels sportier cos it got a bit lower, and the pickup is still there. different from a saga, just ride with 2 or 3 people and it feels like driving a school bus.
-dual airbags. pretty important if u love ur gf.

cons:
-seatbelt damn tight cos it's the type that gets tighter easily, and hard to get loose..
-wiper doesnt work well, but maybe cos never changed kot...
-and since my gf car is fully imported, the aircon is not very strong, and it still has the heater function, which is of course, useless... unless u go to genting very often.. hehe.
-the dashboard and other trimmings feel like cheap plastic
-i got overtaken by a makcik in a kelisa even though i floored the pedal when the light went green. dunno what kinda turbo that makcik use, or maybe the pickup slow, but i think the pickup is great.
-the boot a bit small, but hey, it's a hatchback. still can fit rm200 worth of groceries from tesco.
-but u can live with all these stuff. it's the kinda thing that makes u miss ur car when u sell it.

the teh tarik hook helps a lot when u go to pasar malam. cos u cannot hang ur stuff at the door lock cos the door lock isnt the same as the ones u find in saga or kancil. but can only hang one stuff la...
