Must say your choices are about the same as mine, except I did
consider Daihaitsu YRV. But being 60K+ for a 1.3, it seems
ex.
Swift is also quite high for my budget, but I heard the "swift"
series had been quite reliable, so do give it a test-drive went it
is out in the show room. Should be after the motorshow.
Picanto, it is cheap and cute looking. But the idea of it being a
korean made does makes me avoid it. So is Getz. Anyway, seem you
seems to be able to afford it, Getz would be a much better choice.
Result is Getz had being getting tons of good review from the
foreign reviewer. The specs and price seems to be everyone's first
choices. My friend test-driven Getz 1.6(Auto, 56K), it has to much
more thing than Getz 1.3(Auto). My friend is quite please with its
performance. Too bad he wanted a manual, so have to wait for one to
test drive.
Lastly Aveo, everyone I asked to test-drive it said it isn't that
good. However I feel that it seems OK. Anyway this is the only car
I test-driven so far (manual). Gas a little sluggish, but speed
picks up well at the 3rd gear. The handling seems eletronic, as in
not much feel. But for me I like the looks and these things I don't
ready bother that much now. Maybe after I test out other cars, then
I can comment better.
Anyway, test drive is still the best way to find out, after you
sort out your financials. And of course find out which maker is
reliable or if you are willing to make the risk.
