13177 Hypersonic July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Getz should be better than picanto. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawsushi Clutched July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Depends on what you want. In my personal opinion the Getz is way too underpowered with the 1.1L engine because it's heavier than the Picanto. If you want the Getz should get the larger engine version. Also, if you can I'd recommend the manual version. Picanto or Getz auto are very slow. Going up Sheares bridge with 3-4 people, you can feel the car struggling to make it. Lastly Picanto was recently voted most reliable car in UK. Not surprising since it's such a basic car with mostly mechanical parts and few electronics & gadgets. Less things to spoil = more reliable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugen85 1st Gear July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 manual or auto? i will choose Picanto for low road tax, low FC. Getz for bigger cabin and boot space. Second that. Getz FC higher than Picanto. Get a manual ride if you want better FC and power. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymito 1st Gear July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 And manual gearbox more likely to last 10 yers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club21z 4th Gear July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Picanto loh, easy to drive n looks better imo. Just mod it with quick-flash, CAI, air filter aftermarket and it will be drivable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picanto my friend have alot of problem with the gear and lightings in the dashboard on a one year old car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've kept mine as a spare car... regretted the sale... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fooblack Supercharged July 13, 2011 Share July 13, 2011 think Picanto already phrased out by Kia... speaks volume of its durability and appeal... not sure abt Getz though... i was a 1.1M getz owner last time.. everything works well except it is manual... auto driving is so much fuss free haha..
