QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Mar 18 2013, 11:02 PM) Why Gaga? Coz it is new and by the time I am really ready to buy a car, the overall price for the Getz didn't drop much, so I viewed some 2009 BLMs. Found a black 2009 BLM around RM 32k but after some calculations, it will be wiser to top up a bit more for a new car rather than the second hand one. Then comes the announcement of FLX with CVT gearbox. Got inquisitive with it and might as well give CVT a try. having grown up with korean cars since the early millennium, somehow I understood what makes a Korean car, a Korean car. It isn't particularly a good handling car, but yet it is still stiff enough to prevent unnecessary body rolls but at the same time the ride is comfy enough. The rubbish seats aside, everything in the Getz is splendid. The plastics isn't as dreary as those in the Saga in the first place. The 1.3L is dreary and very thirsty, but the newer facelift model with a 1.4 DOHC unit solves all the problem. It was the only Hyundai which is best value for money during that time when Hyundai is still churning out rubbish cars like the peanut eyed Sonata and the two spoke steering Hyundai Accident. The Getz is still ok. There was a period when right after I rebound back from the "meltdown" I was looking at a range of Kia Spectra which costs less than 20k. LOL Thank god I didn't get one of those. Get the spectra and you'll join the owner club driving TANKS on the road

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Mar 18 2013, 11:16 PM) maybe you should buy one, and experience the weirdest automatic gearbox ever to be put into a production car in human history. It is as if the car has first and second gear then jumps to "fifth then sixth". Pressing the O/D button cancels off the "sixth" gear. actually thats what i feel when i drive it  the shifting just feels weird.. got any theories?

Last time the service rmb they give the wax and wash soap? I don't find it so useful. It says self drying but I don't really see much effect

Shouldn't give opinions unnecessarily already, else keyboard warriors shoot you and scold your mum. Haha. *Spam*
On another note, more scratches on the 1 year + old car, can just buy paint and spray back ? :S

QUOTE(HateFakers @ Apr 9 2013, 11:17 AM) Guys. My Saga FLX 1.3 CVT Exe's (Year 2011, 35k mileage) FC fave been extremely disappointing as compared to most of you  . RM40 of Petron now left 1 bar after 100km. Is tnormal? I keep my rpm at max 2k only. Daily driving includes quite a number of slopes tho (PJ to Pusat Bandar Damansara area) but however its still bad ain't it? Any sifus can remedy this pocket depressing issue? something wrong le, how can it be that bad? How was the consumption overall? Has it always been rm40 for 100km+ ? how long u get stuck in jams?
