Getz or Accent RX-5S???

[3R1C]

As a Getz owner, let me tell you one thing for sure. The Getz body is TOUGH! Although it takes a while to get to 160 kph but seriously the car is stable at that speed. However how often are you going to drive at that speed?

You mentioned it's your gf buying a car so I'll suggest a Getz as it's smaller and easier for her to park.

Getz is the better choice, its one of the best designed Hyundai cars in recent years, Accent is one of the worst, only to be toppled by that awful Elantra.

Like I said, wait for the new models.

The real turn off of Accent is the fact that they are trying too hard and too deceiving into believing people in Malaysia are brainless wood peckers.... Rally my ASS. Anyone saw the advertisement in Cinema? "Hyundai Accent, born from a rally bla bla bla bla ..... award winning bla bla bla, Now at only fifty thousand something~~ " They actually said the "Fifty-Thousand-Something" in the Ad !!! How awful can you get with that ?!?!? It's ridiculous, downright absurd.

Go for the 1.3 Getz if your gf doesnt like Myvi, go for Yaris or Vios if your gf is thinking about 1.6 ----> Honestly, Getz is wayyyyy OVERPRICED, the price factor deters the whole purpose of buying Korean cars, thou well built.

As i always said, for this segment of cars i mean new cars. (small, roomy interior city cars) I'd go for Myvi anytime, even the Yaris and Jazz is not a competitor given the bang for buck contest. You get soooo much for the paid price.

thanks for the info, zan.
teh tarik and indo mee goreng double on me for next TT :p

you can also post to me free TT voucher. i will redeem it here in Melaka.

yeah, i would go for myvi given such choices. though i wont, coz i am sticking to my wira.

new rio is worth buying but interior styling does look cheap.

Saw the new Rio on the road the other day. I wouldn't call it ugly but lets just say it is aesthetically challenged. Haven't been to the showrooms though. Anybody been to a test drive?

May I know is Getz in Malaysia CKD or CBU? as I know Hyundai CKD will carry the inokom badge, where CBU will be Hyundai. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If it's CBU, IMHO, it is not overpriced (which include import tax and AP), (I wonder how many "y" Ingolstadt will need to put in for CBU Jazz) but of course the term "overprice" is very subjective.

if price is the factor, will Yaris and Vios still in his shopping list? doubt so. just my 2 cents.

Getz is CBU and Accent is CKD. Which is why the latter is cheaper. Otherwise they would both cost around the same price. Both still badged as Hyundai.

Looking at it that way, the Getz is overpriced. Both the Jazz and the Yaris is definitely overpriced.

All the Getz on the road now are CBU.
The facelift version will be launched real soon by Inokom. It will be CKD and most probably be powering by 1.4 & 1.6 engine. Actually when I passed by Inokom factory 2 weeks ago on my way to Penang, I saw a few of the facelift models parked outside the building. If you are not in a hurry to get a car, I'll say just wait as more choices are coming up.

the only car in malaysia now which is the best in terms of bang for buvk, is definitely the Savvy. :)
