You have to look at what the Fiesta offers over the Getz though. It's a relatively fresh, new design. The build quality of the Fiesta is far superior to the Getz, as is the driving experience, it's in an entirely different class. The Getz, Rio and Barina take up the basic small car market that's price driven, then the Jazz and Fiesta are the upperclass models (the Yaris sits somewhere in the middle). The Fiesta is also built in Germany, so when the Thai built models come into Australia later this year then the price should drop and/or equipment will increase. The Getz is a basement cheap car, the Fiesta offers a lot more over this car. Most people don't give a rats *** about this, and that's fair enough, but the Fiesta was a definite class leader for me (I drove them all, including the Getz which felt like driving a tin can, not very safe feeling at all IMHO), and I had $30,000 to spend so I walked away with a bargain. My first Fiesta WP Zetec was a hoot, and this new car is no exception.
Good luck with the Getz though
