Hi,

Picked up a 2009 1.6 Litre SX Manual Getz Hatch.

I commit 130Klms each way to and from work and until recently have been doing it on a motor bike.

I drove the car home for the first time last night and was surprised at how well it went. With 216,000 Klms on it it was a surprise. The car was owned by a lady in her 69 s and has never missed a service. A quick look under the bonnet and I can see new hoses, radiator cap, coil packs and leads as well as a new battery.

Over time I want to upgrade the suspension and wheels and maybe add an exhaust and leave it at that until the engine becomes tired.

It runs well, pulls well and sits on 120Ks at 3,000 revs.

Any suggestions on weak points would be appreciated but for now I will just drive and save up for some sensible mods that still allow the car to be a practical daily driver.

Looking forward to the journey and when I can (after 10 posts ) I will post some pics.

Cheers for now
