Its like driving a problem on the road. Changing my Matrix to City hehe

I don't know much about newer Korean cars, because all the while, Korean cars FC is a question. That's why became phobia and never wanted to know more about Korean cars anymore.

its an ok car. but exterior many problems woah like windshieldhave trouble when rain, aligning quite bad. quite spacious actually. no power tho haha. but for something more than 40k i suggest you go look other cars

fc too high , full tank just can let go 290km only !

The wheel part always give problem

Get one and see how much trouble you are going to face....ahahahahah....

same consumption goes for the Chevrolet Aveo and Nabira...as well as Kia.

old model toyota hilux/isuzu pickup from sabah/sarawak?
tough + good view + diesel cheep cheep to run

2nd to that.. i learned it (well, my wife learnd it) the hard way.. 4/5 star NCAP ratings



got hit on the driver's side by a NAza RIA MPV on a high speed collision..my wife escaped with minor concussion and warded for less than a week.. I'm glad i chose getz. if not, i might be a bachelor again.. huhu..
Oh ya, i donno bout u guys who keep complaining bout the wheel aligning keep running, I have drove this car for more than 2 years (until the accident), i dont feel any different with the alignment.. still sturdy, steady and straight on the road (mine is the 1.3 CBU one.. donno if its the same with CKD). never done any alignment before. as a matter of fact, even AFTER the accident, the workshop did mentioned that the wheel are still straight and not effected by that accident..

The fc, ya... badddd... very bad..
But rest assured, this car will take u to point A to point B SAFELY.. very2 safely..., but if only concern bout the MPG and not bout safety, get kancil.. and scrap other option..

Could the bad fuel consumption be down to people's driving style? Maybe they have a heavy right foot.

that's is of cos possible..
the heavier ur foot, the higher ur FC doesnt matter what car ure driving, but that's only comparable to the car ure driving la...

my driving style is relax with some flooring once in a while when i need it.. (50% city, 50% highway driving)..
on current (RM1.80/liter), i can get only 50+km per RM10 of petrol..

if on highways (constant speed of 80-100kmh), u can get 550km on a full tank of petrol (45liters) with still some left.. i've done this from KL-Pengkalan Kubur, Kelantan.. thru KL-karak-lipis...

If you want a Korean marque, get 2nd hand instead as it will be cheaper but u won't lose much after selling it off in 2-3 years time. Buy new and lose 40% in 1st year alone.

I vote for the Myvi.

Its economical, remarkably strong but drives like a pig.

Cheap as ships too!

Are you driving a Getz??

korean cars have a bad 2nd hand value so if u plan to get one make sure u gonna keep it a least 6 years otherwise if you take a 90% loan and decide to sell on the 3rd year or so be prepared to top up the loan to sell the car.

the car is may be worth less than your outstanding loan amount.

rule of thumb is how much are you earning and car installment is not more than 33% of your salary after minus taxes and EPF. also take note its gonna tie you down for at least 5 years and its never gonna appreciate in value.

clear car loan ASAP and use the car for free. paying the bank 9 years just to drive the car u like sounds stupid to me.
