tooSavvy Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Re 'fogging'... *note Not 'dogging', though steamy windows likely too! 🤣 .... If we crack 1/8" of the passenger front window whilst trundling along, then the fogging quickly clears (full through air IS selected). I will report after Cabin filters changed... 🚙💨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 #confession time# 🙉🙈🙊.... I'm having a 'stalling issue' 😮 ...... Having come over from an Auto + I can't hear/feel (aka 'rough as..') engine revving, I have bogged/stalled at least twice 🤦. My 'history' of clutch torture is fairly blameless... Very Short intro/no howling and off we go. I have read of troubles experienced by learners, passing on a Big Torque diseasl, and being unable to launch a Wimp petrol 🤣🤣 ...... This car is SO out of my comfort zone 🥰 🚙💨 Matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes on the Picanto with the 4 discs were fantastic, so much so that they reverted to drums, due to complaints from owners tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtd2000 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I had a rental Getz when I was working in Israel during 2004/2005 and thought it was a very decent little runabout. Would do an indicated ton and MPG was pretty good but all costs were found by my employer anyway. A few years back, on the eBay thread, there was a black Getz that had done something like 475,000 miles, or thereabouts, so there should be plenty of mileage left in that motor, as long as you keep the tin worm at bay! 😉 tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
