i was thinking of a getz myself.

i used to work at hyundai, they are a good car in general.

just keep your eye on your rear wheel cylenders as they tend to leak.

also some were prone to have a knock from the rear brake. they are very tempremental with handbrake adjustment.

Barina is also $14990 drive away these days.

well if you're looking into things as gheyz as getz etc, might as well go the whole handbag.

Its not for me...Im saving up for a current shape corolla ascent :)

Barina is a Holden... I am sceptical as how long it will be till the crap starts falling off. Actually I dont want another Ford or Holden, period.

Brand new ST Tiida is $19990 for Auto

2006 models are as cheap as $14K

Bought my wife an ST-L model brand new with 5 years warranty and on road etc for $22K - Auto

Not too shabby at all... I like the look of this one

The Getz is POS.

We have one as an emergency car, i drive it when i cant afford petrol for my r32 :laugh:

Full of cheap plastic, vibrates on idle, loves to understeer, automatic isnt responsive. It jumps to a lower gear for no reason and makes a lot of noise but still doesnt move anywhere.

Isnt even fuel efficient, manual says like 6lts/100km. Ours averages like 8~

Ours is the first model to come out, so it could be much better in the newer models.

However it does save me petrol money :D

If you buy a manual 1.5L they are good. They did win Australias best small car 2 years in a row. I mean we all know its a little dodgy that awards system, but they have all the kit, engine, ac, abs, airbags etc. Good for a run about. But really its not worth it if your keeping the skyline. $15k is a lot of petrol.

Getz is crap.. Honestly dont buy it .. Its cheap, seats are crap, and it seems to fall apart.

I do have an Accent which is very good, its a 97 and goes hard for a 1.6 litre it spins first and second so pretty ballsy. Olds have a Elantra too $20,000 new which is cheap as chips for a new car with electric everything and onroads + insurance. Its very comfortable.

Id prob go for the accent for a good reliable car. cheap to run, I fly around with it on empty for a good 3 days.. fill up when the light turns on.

I passed my driving test in a Getz (driving instructor's car, since my old VN probably won't pass the safety check.)

As a car to get from point A to B & back to A, it does the job, anything else... don't expect much.

& being a hatch & small its easy to park, about the only things I can think off.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
