Black Pi, nicely done grill!

Where to get the gill?

The new 2006 Getz 1.1 liter 5dr Manual version is avaliable for booking already. Price you be looking at $39,000 for non comfirm COE but with the recent announcement of more COEs, chances of getting the car at that price will be pretty high.

hmm... if i'm not wrong, KIA insurance is higher than Hyundai's... anyone to confirm this?
If it's true, then it all depends on whose name are you going to register under... if it's your dad's, with his age group and the NCD (in future) the difference wouldnt be that big? but if it's under your name, as a young driver it would be quite high... so you better have to check out the difference... -
I seems to have this feeling that registering your dad for the insurance for your car is going to limit some coverage. Unless you declare to be also the driver for the car, but then the insurance will be based on the youngest driver. This is what I get from reading all those post, don't really know as I am insured under my own name.Originally posted by evox:hmm... if i'm not wrong, KIA insurance is higher than Hyundai's... anyone to confirm this?

Look... If the insurance is under your name, your PREMIUM will be HIGH & also as EXCESS LOADING (considerate as inexperience driver/ below certain age) is also high if U MET WITH AN ACCIDENT. So consider properly before adding the name.
Ask the car dealer for the premium plan and compare the amount between ur name and ur dad.
To insurance company, they have A LOT OF FACTORS to base on. Eg, if one had met with accident, the premium will also be high... -
I'm also thinking of getting a Picanto (Auto).
My main concern is the FC. Is it really that bad? Any current Picanto drivers can advise what is the average FC after running in?
Another question, is stability really bad cos I know the wheel base is very small. I'll be test-driving it tmr but just like to get some feedback from Picanto drivers.
Actually this will the 2nd car for the family so (low) cost and (not too bad) reliability are the main requirements. It'll be used merely as a point a to point b car. Budget abt 40k - 48k. I know a bit more ard 50k can get a better one like Vios but really want to control the cost as it's a 2nd car.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Many thks! -
Here's a list of FC contributed by drivers of various car makes. Have a look.Originally posted by vinmiche:I'm also thinking of getting a Picanto (Auto).

My car forum fuel consumption list
Picanto isn't meant to be a car to be driven hard, unless you are thinking about filter left with over a hundred km/h, you usually don't have to think about its stability. At high speed, its heavy kerb does provide some sense of security, much better than mine (kelisa). And it 100cc bigger engine allows you to push the little Pi even faster.
Low cost, low maintence, good FC, point A to B, how about Kelisa?
Actually Aveo(M) should be within your range too. With some discipline driving, it can do 14km/L FC figure. Or the Siron, going at around 50k now, I would consider it being among 1 of the better cars. FC is good at 17km/L.
Lastly, if your main concern is FC, then you shouldn't be thinking about auto-transmission cars. Unless you don't have the appropriate license. Difference between Auto and manual car of the same make can be as much as 3km/L.
Don't let a moment of weakness cause you 10 years of regret.
