1.4A Aveo vs 1.6A Getz

ywiz SG

Hi Guys,

I am looking at the 1.4A Aveo vs 1.6A Getz anyone with experience with both of them can comment which is a better car since they are about the same price.

Can find lots of reviews/comments on the Getz which is common on the road but what about Aveo?? Any Aveo owners around can comment on your ride?

Tested both today and my heart goes to the Aveo, reason as follows

1. Better interior, looks good does not look cheap.
2. The ride is smooth, back passenger commented the bumps are slight and seems better on the Aveo.
3. New facelift with some changes to the front grill, auto key alarm system and slight interior changes available in 2 weeks.
4. Continental car feel, left signal, nice looking gear box etc.

As for the Getz, i like the raw power for the 1.6 and of coz been a Hyundai can get more freebees for the same price and more mobs available later. And having a ex national footballer as your SE giving you good service is Very Happy

Hello fren,
We have the same conclusions since I tested the Aveo1.4A last saturday. But I did not get the same SE to serve me.

Aveo 1.4A gives the sporty and stylish look on the exterior. It is surprisely spacious for its interior with sufficient leg-rooms for a 1.83m chap like me.

I was caught by surprise with a relatively smooth ride and responsive engine. Most outstanding- the good quality of the gear knob, steering wheel and circular speedometer, and other gadgets.

Deeply impressed..... Razz Good buy.

Test drive AVEO manual before, but not Getz. Guess bettom line is, Performance Getz, Style finishings Aveo. I also liked Aveo for its looks only.

on WHEELS asia magzine they test drive 3 hatch ignis, getz and aveo...

they give getz thumbs up for overall value for money and performace..... Laughing

i feel aveo looks better but when getz put on some body kit whooooo fierce loh....

Both Torque and Motoring also have did their own test-driving too. Motoring gave a very objective view, stating both the good and bad of each car. Cars involved are Aveo, Ignis, Getz and YRV. But Torque obviously feels that Aveo isn't enough to satisfy them. They commented Ignis for its drive feel but small interior. Recommanded Getz for its big interior and nice package (handling, engine, blah, blah, blah).

Depends alot on what you want. Looks or power.
If you like the Aveo design, get the 1.6 model (if there is).

Else, be prepared to many high revs if u travel upslopes in certain areas like shears bridge. (which some of my friends will not tarhan.)

U might want to consider other things like FC and engine noise.

it boils down to your personal preference. no point telling you ABC car is better but you buy liao you don't like right?

Whats impt is after you buy, you are happy with your own decision.

frenz99 SG

Why not drive down to showrooms and test it out?

Try it out! Dun jump into conclusion. Shocked

Bet you, you will be shocked to find out. Laughing

Hey frenz99,

I agree with you. I had test drive the Aveo 1.4 & Getz 1.3 last month.

Aveo surprised me by the engine performance (Aveo 1.4 DOHC 16V) (Getz 1.3 SOHC 12V). Aveo seen to be much more powerfully than Getz 1.3.

Beside better engine performance, Aveo have better suspension & interior space with compared to Getz.

Aveo is S$2k+/- more than Getz but i think the diff is justifiable.

Test it out, don't jump into conclusion.

tailslide SG

err, he asking for comparison with aveo 1.4A vs getz 1.6A leh. 1.4 twin cam of course feel more power than 1.3 single cam lah. dun confuse leh........

frenz99 SG

Let compare apple to apple.... Laughing

1.3 Getz vs 1.4 Aveo... is a better comparison. Very Happy

ronnie_2600 SG

one is DOHC and one is SOHC

how can this be apple to apple?

wbucket SG

However, 1.4 to 1.6 isn't apple to apple too. But I guess price wise, it is justified. But the Getz 1.6A is so much better than Aveo 1.4A. Whereas Aveo 1.4A is also so much better than Getz 1.3A. So the one asking the question, better test-drive them to clear your doubts.

ronnie_2600 SG

agreed.

IMHO i think it's more worth while getting a 1.6 at that price.

especially resale value. I doubt pple want a 1.4 that costs as much as a 1.6.
or depreciation for that matter.

but like u said.. its always better for the potential buyer to test drive.... happy den buy.. no happy driving M6 oso won't buy loh. Mr. Green

frenz99 SG

Do you know this?

Aveo is engaging the powerful Opel engine- ECOTEC. Laughing

Dun play play...

wbucket SG

Meaning a improved version?

frenz99 SG

It should be very much better and value for money.

ECOTEC..... Very Happy

ronnie_2600 SG

no matter how powerful, displacement is still 1.4 mar.

wbucket SG

It sure doesn't feel better when I last test-driven it!
