2007 Kia Rio Sedan vs Hyundai Getz vs Honda Jazz

[linus0910]

Guys,

Need your help naman po. I am planning to buy a car and I'm trying to decide kung alin sa dalawang ito (RIO or GETZ) ang kukunin ko. Medyo iba po ung dalawang car na ito pro I would like to know your opinion on what you would prefer.

Sayang nga wala daw RIO na hatchback dito sa pinas. Sa ngayon daw, they're not planning to sell one here. Yun pa naman sana ang gusto ko. hehehe

What about durability and safety? Ano po kya mas ok sa dalawa?

Besides sa mas malaki ung room ng rio sa likod kc sedan cya, I want to know yung advantages ng RIO against GETZ and vice versa. hehehehe

Thanks po in advance sa inyong lahat!

[lui]

guys simulan ko na advantage po ng getz is FC, mas mahaba ung warranty nya. safety feature po ng getz is seatbelt only. wala po sya airbag. price po advantage din sa getz. rio naman po mas malaki. ewan ko lang interior space kasi maluwag din naman ung interior space ng getz para saken. mas mabilis siguro rio kasi mas malaki po makiina nya...

Personal pref na lang cguro yan.

Kung ano trip mong itsura. Tho i find the Rio interior toyish pa rin.

Saka kung anong dealer ang mas accessible, accomodating at competent sau. Daming bagong dealership ng Hyundai na panay palpak. Un ke Sir Lui not included, lol!

Wala pang naririnig na prob ang Rio kasi mukang kokonti lang meron. Sa Getz naman, dumarami na rin kasi meron, maraming 1.1 na me AC prob naun 07. Dati naman wala.

Test drive mo muna kung tama na sau ang power ng Getz 1.1. Kung ayus na, best bang for d buck na kasi yan. ~100k din diff nyan. Sa insurance premium madarama mo yan(a little sa PMS).

Kung bitin, pick na lang bet. Rio o Getz 1.4. Its hatch againts sedan na ang laban. Ako hatch pa rin. Mas flexible dahil sa compartment(utilitarian na rin kasi), tapos d obligadong mag pa dark tint sa likod.

Salamat po sa mga reply niyo..

di ko kasi alam kung ano mas preferred ko. hehehe personal choice ko would be hatchback sana na rio.. cgurado na ako dun kaso wala pa lang gnun d2 sa pinas. meron kc sa site nila.. hehe nag expect tuloy ako masyado tapos wala pala.. huhuhu

so napaisip akong mag getz na lang.. but i'm not sure if ok siya kaya im asking for your opinion.. hehehe

mukha namang ok lang yung space ng getz kso isip ko din ung makina. nabili na ng hyundai ang kia, right? (tama b? nabasa ko lang e.. hehehe) does this mean na engine and quality wise e pareho lang sila?

Wala ngang release d2. Un mga previuos models na makikita sa daan, pangit, kasi mabababa roof nya. Asiwa. Parang Mazda 3 na hatch. Dapat talaga pag hatch mataas ang roof kesa sa regular sedan.

Dont rely sa mga foreign sites. Kasi iba market nila. Ipa pa specs. D2 satin, minsan naman hindi updated mga local auto sites. D2 ka sa tsikot mag rely, lol!

so napaisip akong mag getz na lang.. but i'm not sure if ok siya kaya im asking for your opinion.. hehehe

1.4 should be great. No AC issue.

mukha namang ok lang yung space ng getz kso isip ko din ung makina.

1.1 pag most of the time solo ka lang. 1.4 malakas na. Can outrun most of todays sedans in the street. Mas malakas CRDi kaso for me d match ang safety at suspension para sa lakas nito. 1.4 ka na lang.

nabili na ng hyundai ang kia, right? (tama b? nabasa ko lang e.. hehehe)

Yup.

does this mean na engine and quality wise e pareho lang sila?

Sa CRDi engine iisa na pinagkukunan nila.

Parang mahirap lang sa Kia they tend mo make heavier vehicles(excluding Pica of course). Bad for FC, good for suspension. So whatever is more important for you. Saka parang mas mahal magpa service sa Kia.

Good local Hyundai vehicles:
Starex
Getz
Tucson
Sante Fe

For Kia:
Carens
Sorento - best bang 4 d buck, true 4x4 SUV, kaso overshadowed by SF
Sportage -ok din, overshadowed by Tucson

Well, I have a Rio(2006 lng nga pero same ung look. Not sure about the features. Mine don't have air bags X_X).

I haven't tried a getz but here are the things that I like about the Rio.

1.) it can be cute or aggressive (green = cute , blue/red = aggressive)

2.) malaki ung boot (3 golf bags kasya)

3.) The engine is right for the body ( Kung wla ka masyado karga, you'll fly)

4.) Light steering (I bet the Getz rin has light steering but as I said, I haven't tried one yet)

5.) And the handling's pretty good. The tires grip on the road well. At a certain speed and angle, it's tires don't screech as for the other cars I've ridden already... (namely, a Cefiro A32, Kia Pride, Lancer GSR 2-door. Or maybe dahil bago ung Rio.) But surely it's turning capabilities surprised me.

Well, my 2 cents... My opinions about the Rio.

hehe may mga bnumalik na din samen na getz1.1 regarding the a/c. actually nde naman mawawala ung lamig kaso iingay lang sya. kaya nagrequest na kame ng mga compressor sa planta para kpag may bumalik palit agad

The Kia Rio has good handling (surprisingly), but I'm so-so on the tires.

The Rio is much more secure than the Getz, and it rides better, given the longer wheelbase and the more modern chassis... but I find the Getz decent at the price.

Both cars have better steering than the newer Toyota Vios (the closest to the Rio's price range), although the 1.4 of the Rio doesn't quite have the same "pep" as Toyota's engines. Gearshift is merely "meh"... pretty rubbery, but at least the clutch is light.

The Getz doesn't have very much cargo space when you're riding four-up... there's an advantage to having an actual trunk, as in the Rio. And, personally, the Rio looks much better.

What about jazz po? may nag suggest lang kase skin. Any problem w/ this car?

[mazdamazda]

The problem with the Jazz is its price - hehe.

Anyway, between the Rio & Getz, I'll go with the Rio since its a little bigger and it looks very nice (just get rid of those steel rims).

[mikey177]

Meron na po bang CRDI na Rio sa Pilipinas? Any idea if Kia plans to introduce this variant here in the near future?

[linus0910]

kase if bili kami ng kotse pang matagalan sana.. im not really quite sure if madaming parts ang rio in the future the fact na di ganun kadami ung gumagamit nito.. baka masyado mahal yung parts ng rio kapag tumagal na kasi per order basis na lang cla (directly to kia mismo).. im not really quite sure if im making any sense.. hehehe

yun kc nakikita kong disadvantage with rio. plus yung resale ng rio mas mababa.. hehehe

kaya ang ni-recommend ng friend ko is jazz daw.. any comments sa mga jazz owner? ok ba itong kotse na ito?

Jazz is a very good car. Pros ay:

- Matipid talaga sa gas (this is obvious as favorite itong car sa mga eco-runs)
- Maluwag sya (suprising for a small car, and I'm a very big guy as in 240lbs 5' 10", laki pa ng head room.
- ULT seats (this takes the cake. no other car in its class that can compare with the cargo size of this car.)
- CVT transmission - very smooth and at the same time, sporty.

Cons naman ay

- Price (of the car, parts, labor etc.)

Going back to the topic, I think the Rio stands out better than the Getz in almost all aspects.

[linus0910]

thanks po Mguy sa comment!!! Worth it ba ang price ng jazz or over priced?

naguguluhan na tuloy ako sa gusto kong bilhin kase ang daming option hehehe

If you guys would rate these car: Rio, Getz and Jazz, which one do you prefer? Overall rating nalang siguro maybe based on performance, maintenance, quality (in the long run), safety, and price.
1.
2.
3.

Pasensya na po kayo, if ever this will be my first car so as much as possible I want to know the opinion of other car users since i'm not really "expert" on cars.

Hirap na kasi maglabas ng malaking pera ngayon tapos baka palpak pa yung mabili ko.. hehehehe

[hominid]

I dont think me palpak sa kahit anong mga yan. Un nga lang, maski bnew, dont expect na totally no prob, tho maaari kang makatiyempo ng wala talagang prob. Ako nakatiyempo, ehehe. Kaya dyan pumapasok ang galing ng casa. Warranty naman pag bnew kaso minsan me casa n d makita ang problem or mali ang ginagalaw.

Tingnan mo sa personal kung ano talaga gusto mo.

Worth naman un price ng Jazz, kung un ba talaga ang matitripan mo eh.

Ako kung sa price range ng Jazz, Id get a Yaris. Kasi trip ko lang porma. Un ang sagot sa tanong mo. Kung ano ang trip mo.
