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~

I remember having it as a hire car for 2 days and I did a lot of driving in it, I didn't like it much, I found the driving position not that comfortable, the manual gearbox was *ok*, but not good.

Didn't like the seats either, I'd much prefer a mid 90's pulsar personally :sick:

Mum has one,manual. They have tall gearing to improve fuel ecomony in the manuals, kills acceleration. I thought the excel she had befored was a better car/shopping trolley, but getz has more goodies.

Anyone Considered Mazda 2s?

My gf has one, very comfortable for 4 people, huge boot (ive put a motorbike in the back of one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), the gearbox is nice, ive driven it up bells line and it was suprisingly chuckable and felt confident on the road....

Around town its smooth and easy, farken good on fuel too!

go the Jazz!!!!

cons: pricey, people bag you for driving a girls car, slow acceleration compared to the skyline (ofcourse), 2 airbags, parts (if anything)

pros: even the 1.3ltr engine is very farkin smooth!!! lots of space for a family, great driving position, very comfortable car to drive, abs and.............

FUEL CONSUMPTION: Average of 5.6ltrs per 100km

lowest i got it was 4.2ltrs/100 on the fwy. Highest was 6.1ltrs/100

so glad i didnt go for the swift, getz, barina

and makes driving the skyline more fun on the weekend

the seating position annoyed the hell out of me, it was either uncomfortable arms or legs. Had to sacrifice one for the other lol

Folding down the rear seats makes it a great car to carry around skyline parts (boot lids, set of wheels) :stupid:

ours has lasted from brand new in late 96 till now on the same spark plugs.

It's a disposable car like those disposable camera's you could buy.

$13990 brand new,had it for 11yrs,almost 12 so it works out to roughly

$1200 a year which is not far from what their worth nowadays.

Never give them respect and you'll never loose respect for it.

i've driven a rental getz, and I loved it...its great as a little town zipper.

Same! I liked the ones I got too... they were great little cars, easily got up to speed and kept up with all the other cars on the Gateway as well as overtaking etc.

Get a manual though. You want to be able to chuck it back a gear on the hills, that's where I found it struggled... I almost had to stop and put it back into 1st going up Mt Cootha with 3 of us in the car including my 100+kg brother LOL

But I would think it would be the same with any of those cars..

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.

Barina is just a facelifted 2002 daewoo Kalos. dont buy one buddy! Buy a new yaris. better quality of build than the Getz, and comes with "service advantage" basically every service up to 60,000 is $120 each [full parts/labour]. Plus Re-sale is better..

Hey Guys,

Honestly Its a 13k Korean Car....Can't Expect Much...Right?

Ive Had A Getz The Thing Started Too Fall Apart During The 3rd Year.

Insted Of Jazz's And Barina's Go SWIFT Suzuki Such Reliable Affordable Cars...Plus They Look Good Too!

Jazz's And Swifts Would Be More Reliable Then The Barina And Honestly I Think They Look Better.

Consider The SWIFT. :banana::)

Well guys my wife has just put a deposit down for an 11/2006 Corolla Ascent (black/automatic) with 30,000kms and still nearly 2 years warranty left for $15,700. Reckon it was a good deal?

Yeah mate thats fine, Hertz sell them [ex-renters with 25-45 klms] through Fowles auctions at not much less than that, say $14,000-$15000. then on roads etc... check for history though, toyota wont cover a car unless it has service history and a few have gone up in smoke due to 30,000klm old oil that is too thick and sludgy for the oil galleries...

Cool.. just wondering with new car warranty do i have to take it to somewhere like an ultratune for scheduled servicing rather than do it at home like I normally do?

you need to use genuine parts, and have an itemised receipt for service carried out by a qualified mechanic if its not serviced by toyota.. If you go to make a major wty claim, these things will be checked..

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
