They're a nice car. A bloke up the road here has had one for 6 months or so and he absolutely loves it. -- Regards, Noddy.

I've done long K's in a Getz and the same distance in a VR with 244,000km's on the clock and the VR absolutely snotted the Getz in ride and comfort over that distance - so I for one am not buying the bullshit that a Getz is more comfortable then an EF Fairmont. I don't know why you're so wrapped in Getz's, they're a a great runabout but beyond that they provide for a pretty miserable experience even on moderate trips.
