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.. sweat.gif
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.. sweat.gif
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.. tongue.gif

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...
