Kia Rio 1.4A Or Hyundai Getz 1.4A

[Jlyb86]

As above, just needed as much inputs as possible :) Just friendly discussion on what you heard or know about this 2 models

 

Thank you, do kindly stick to this 2 cars as have narrowed down, in cars every $50 increment in installment can get a different model.

 

Kia rio i believe the FC is better and space wise would win getz though getz has good spacing in the budget hatchback group.

 

getz looks slightly better but heard scary stuff about the FC. Price wise almost similiar, hence a bit undecided.

 

Cheers

You refering to KIA Rio hatch or sedan version?

[Kb27]

I have limited exposure to both cars, but imho, I feel that generally Getz is a more reliable car.

As for FC, I don't think they are too far off.

I myself have a Getz 1.6m. At its best, it was doing average 13km/L, but now with age, it has deteriorated to 12km/L.

For Getz auto, you may be looking at 10~11km/L, although some claim to get 13km/L.

 

I think it mostly depends on how you drive.

Given a choice btw these 2 models, i will choose Rio because it has a bigger cabin and boot space

specs wise both are very similar so not much to compare

IMO, sedan wins hatchback, Hyundai wins KIA, so I give 3rd option in term of performance and price same category:

Accent1.5A or Vern 1.4A

[Jlyb86]

kia rio sedan :)

 

thank you all for the inputs. appreciate it, yeah FC really depend too much on driver pattern.. if every pick up rev like mad even subaru R2 also 10km/L

If you compare 1.4L engine (apples-to-apples) alike, between the Rio and Getz, they are from the same parent company and both use the same Sigma engine.

 

Of course Hyundai used to bring in the 1.6L version of the Getz, but that's a different matter altogether.

 

The last 2010 Rio model has got leather steering wheel (Getz is plastic), steel shaft for the auto gear stick (Getz is plastic) and steel door lever (Getz is plastic).

Currently driving a verna which i guess is very similar to the kia rio. FC not bad. If I don't go and rev above 3k rpm normally my average FC is 13-14km/l. Sat in a Getz before and I feel that verna is more spacious. As for reliability I think should be ok. Mine has no problems other than wear and tear.

Well, i am driving Kia Rio 1.4A hatchback. The cabin space is surely win Getz. Why i know this because my colleague own a Getz.

FC around 14KM/Ltr with 16 inc rim. The smaller the wheel more mileage it will take.

 

One very disadvantage is ..."VERY HARD TO GET ACCESSORIES". I mean car accessories not spare part. Spare part is compatible with Hyundai. Why i know? Because when i sent for servicing, instead they use Kia parts, they also use Hyundai part in exchange.

 

Accessories e.i. mug flab, window visor and etc

I may need some guidance or help here.

As I've just bought a 2nd hand 1.6M 3dr Getz here, and I just bring it for servicing.

 

To my horror, I will need to change quite a number of things. Which includes the

spark plug, brake pad, tyre all 4 (as in totally wear out), alignment which needs to be computerize ones as it's too bad till manually cant get it fix.

 

have anyone got any cheap and reliable recommendation around in spore?as I've a very tight budget this month and all these issues are kinda of dangerous to have my getz running on road.

 

I came across forum mentioning Gary/ Ah kang @ lavender Esso. But do anyone have their contacts so I can ask them for quotes?

 

 

Thanks.

Which ever workshop can do for you, just bring in. You mentioned brake pad and tyre. This two is hell important stuff. Your tyre should be cheap for getz. Provided it is stock tyre. Spark plug very cheap, but can wait. brake pad and tyre cannot wait. Will langga. What is the mileage of this car?

90 000 is when i jus bought it. now is 92 +++.

[Passion]

oh..ok. Better change your brake pad and tyre. This are stuffs that save your life. Brake pad decent only cost $60 to $70 dollars plus changing perhaps another $15 to $20 dollars. Tyre decent one can set you aside $400 for 4. Spark plug you save money first, spark plug normal one around $15 can change 4.

Usually if you buy a 2nd hand car more than 4 yr old, you have to change many things due to wear & tear. But when you buy the car that time, you can check the tyre condition. But sometimes i would advise even the tyre condition looks ok, you should change and do a wheel alignment for safety reason.

before i getting this car, im being told not to get sucha old car already. but is juz that my budget dont allow me. and somemore, before getting this car, i juz got cheated $500 for deposit from this dealer at upper serangoon. cos his white 3dr getz i really love it. but then ding dong ding dong, den suddenly he don wan sell me. left me with only a 1.3A red getz which he force me to get it with the same pricing for the white 1.6M.

 

i went to the police and they told me they cant do anything too. sigh.

 

yup, i juz went to change my tyre (front 2) to a new ones. which costs me $140. alignment wise, i still googling which is the cheapest or safest that wont chop me like carrot. i got a quote for it at ubi for $60 computerized alignment. how's this?

[Toyo]

For alignment wise i know some ws charge $80 so i guess its ok
