Reviews on 1.1M Picanto?

[Terrible One]

my colleague is driving gets but he is getting FC of around 10-11KM/L.. is it true that it is that bad? in my view, Good FC = Good car

 

Think your colleague is prob driving the 1.4L or 1.6L Getz.. Hyundai's auto tranny not very efficient so a lot of power loss resulting in poor FC..

 

Personally I don't think good FC alwasy = good car.. Have to consider other aspect as well esp safety.. But he the current oil price, if u need to drive den of cos it's better to drive one with better FC..

If u wanna get a small car why not consider a Getz 1.1l? Same engine as Picanto, but bigger and better quality plastic.. Better sound proofing compared to the Picanto also.. But cost a few k more tho.. I let u try my Getz la..

 

Wah, thanks for the generous offer bro! Hmmm reason why I was thinking of Picanto is I've been borrowing my fren's Auto for a few weekends, feels like not a bad drive...

 

And budget is kinda my main concern.... since I'm getting a OPC, and it'll probably be under-utilised (relatively speaking), so not sure if the couple of thousands more (around 4K) is worth it.

If u seldom used it and U r not those racer wannabe, Picanto is not a bad choice.. Fuel consumption also quite good..

But there r ppl who drives or rides a normal fuel saving vehicle during weekdays and drives a OPC WRX or EVO.

sometime getting a cheap car does not necessary means being a cheapskate

 

i rather get a 2nd hand transport car for shelter from sg tropical sun/rain and spend the remaining of my money on getting some property or investment or such rather then 1.5k in JUST a car

 

safety wise, i believe we can cope with picanto being so dangerous cause we are, for god's sake, rider! its considered an upgrade from even a class 2 to a lousy car

 

FC i believe its up to individual driving style, or rather previous owner's driving style. its rather true that if you were to carry passenger then its quite hard to squeeze them like 'ribina' berry but if more then often your alone or only with ur gf/bf, should be so bad, worse case just ask ur bf/gf to lean forward when goin upslope

 

your transport should not exceed 25% of your earned income... so wat if you own a bigger car, you might be stretching to the limit.

 

less those who actually dump more money in accessories into the ride

Hi Delusion,

 

I share your thoughts. If all goes well, I will book a humble but cute-looking picanto this week.

 

For those eyeing 4-wheelers, interest rates are increasing or have increased to 2.68%.

Wow! so much higher than 2.3% a couple of months back.

Tell me about it, man. My HDB housing loan with O**C went up by $250 in 2.5 years! Blood s***ing banks!

if really under budget, try a 2nd hand picanto with low mileage. 2005 - 2006 would be good. look for an OPC (cause mostly low mileage) then convert to normal plate if you need it.. else stick to it as it is.

 

loan wise, dont stretch the whole COE term. try to make it a point that should you wanna sell your car 1 1/2 - 2 years time, you can breakeven to selling price or near.. you dont want to stuck with a 2nd hand for the next 5 yrs.

if u dont mind, you can consider getting a manual one instead of auto. FC will be better

The bottomline is buy only if you have a need. But given your pay, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think you should go and see the new VW Tiguan. Excellent SUV with proper off-roader functions. 6 speeds automatics and everything else in the package of 100K. Go for a test drive. But they have a minimum loan of 50K at 2.38%

 

Take your time. Buy only if you have a need. But seriously with what you are earning now, don't go for the picanto.

[GuiNNeSS]

Disadvantage: slow

Advantage: Save alot of money

My new review, just got it a month.

 

Just my thought, Some people say that Picanto is a jialat car, i dont think so. People said that the car got no power (DEPEND ON A DRIVER). I think it will help u save a lot $$ if u compare to other car which have higher cc. but starting when i drive the car, i can really say the car really hv no power, but when u got the tip from the car, u tend to start to speed a bit more. this is how i felt for this car. hope this may help

I think I will agree with MOA instead. Cost wise, it is indeed a lot cheaper. But it is not even remotely close to be considered 'fast'.

Of coz, agree agree. Fast - buy GTi, right?

Where got car at that price range of $30-40k can be a 5 sec car?
