i30 worth it or not?

i30 come with 1.4, 1.6 & 2.0 engine, for SG only 1.6. But KMC stop selling it already. 2nd hand market not much also, can only find 9 on sgcarmart.

sian no 1.1

Seem like KMC never bring in smaller cc car already. Don't knw y they never bring in i10 & i20?

well i guess with the current coe, by adding a few Ks more, they are able to get a 1.6.

Ya, now more worth to buy highter cc car. 1.6 also paying the same price as 1.1 for the COE.

but road tax is different hhaha... and FC too.

Actually different not much from 1.1 to 1.6. But always buy within ur range lor. Higher cc more power, comfort, shiok, looks not priceless, must Pay And Pay...

i agree with you, i was driving a 2.0 car before switching to 1.4 getz. There was a big difference but after a couple of months i get used to it and love the size of the car...easy to park as well.

Not to mention the saving, now i can spend more on other and i still have a car to drive and the saving is few hundreds buck per month and the money go to my child education and stuffs.

I think petrol u already save alot, then insurance, rd tax & maintainence. My friend driving 2.0 car all the while, ask him change to lower cc car die die dun want, no power lah, so fast want to go where???

yup but most people when they are used to higher cc, it abit difficult for them to down size.

I did it because i rather have more money in my pocket since a car is just a car imho.

but the down size is when the car is having 5 full grown size with a baby pram behind the boot, the back passenger lap become the storage space.. hahah

Must be hard for u to downgrade so much, from 2.0 to 1.4. Y never get the 1.6 Getz or other model?

pai seh, my ride is 1.3 not 1.4...always get this wrong....

good question, my wife was with me when i'm getting my ride that time and she is the one who decide on the 1.3 but i told her i'm interested in the 1.6.

and her comment go " Either you buy the 1.3 or you can take the train"

i was like ......

So this is how my 1.3 come about... ahah

HAHAHA... Oic... 1.3 not bad lah... Change afew things can make ur ride more smooth.

well, it been 8 years and i have gotton used to it, well my car is fully stocks, did not really spend much on bodykit and stuffs , just spend about 3K to fix up my ICE which is not visible to my wife... ahah

How about engine? I will strongly recommend u to change the throttle body to BBTB and CAI. It will make the car smooth and lighter to move off.

no nothing done, except changing of rim to 16" that all.

If i want to change, i would have change it earlier not till when the car is left with 2 years cycle.

That is also the reason now 'm wondering if i want to change my absorber as it still working fine.

By the way, how much it cost with installation?

i believe it used up extra fuel?

Can't really remember the exact price. Sld be around $260 - $300+ installation. I install it for so many yrs liao. FC, not much different lah, anyway u r on 16", already use extra fuel liao.

For me, it's the best legal mod.

talk about fuel, when i first change my ride from a 2.0 to 1.3.

My FC fare very badly, i think about 5-6km/ltr...it was only after awhile that i found out that it my driving habit.

It because when i step on the gas, the car don't seem to move and always have problem over taking and thus always stepping more to get the feel.

But after 4 months, i begin to face the reality and told myself, come on it a 1.3 and i don't expect it to behave like a 2.0.

hahah...

5 to 6km/l? It's very very bad... Unless ur car got snail inside. I tot mine with abit of mod & 15" rim getting 8 to 10 already very bad.

That was when i couldnt get used to the ride but now it around 8 to 10 as well as i enjoy my ride and let other over take me.

Oic. 1.3 FC usually is around 8 to 10. Unless very light footer, maybe can get 11 or 12, with 14" rim then off air-con most of the time.

my wife can get 12km/l but usually i will fall asleep or watch new paper when she want to drive.
