Advantages: Very reliable and very cheap to run. Disadvantages: Boot not massive, temp spare wheel.
...travels, we stopped in the Hyundai dealership and to our amazement saw the Hyundai Getz with £1000 off the price, 5 year warranty and 3 years RAC. It was not much dearer than we were being offered for second hand cars. So after thinking it over we bought one!
The Getz is described as a supermini. What amazed us on a test drive is the feeling inside that it is a much bigger car. Our three teenagers fit in the back very comfortably. Outside certainly ... ...shape is somewhat boring as Hyundai are known for reliability not their design. But visibility is good when driving. Central locking from the driver's door. The engine has an immobilizer so will only start with one of the two keys provided. Inside too is pretty dull, but functional. Lots of black plastic! But wow, at this price electric windows, air conditioning and a CD player! 3 coffee cup holders, middle rear seat belt, fixings for a baby seat,

Advantages: nifty, compact but space to move, cheap Disadvantages: cant think of any
My Hyundai Getz was my second car and it is fantastic for the money that i payed for it. I bought it brand new and from the word go i fell in love with it. Within a week she was named (Mo) and was been driven here there and everywhere. She is small enough to fit in any parking bay... within reason. She is nifty for the size of the engine and handles easily zooming up and down the M1. With the price of petrol going up a hyundai getz is a great way ... ...quite cheap at £120 a year give or take you cant go wrong. Even though the boot is small it holds more than it looks. Many of times have we driven to the airport with four people. four suitcases and four backpacks with room left to shuffle about and not have your face squashed against the window.
The seats fold down and you can get a lot more in, i have got a fridge, freezer and half a bed in mine. how i have no idea but i promise i did.
The getz ...

Advantages: cheap motoring, plenty of space. Disadvantages: small boot
...up buying a brand new Hyundai Getz as we were so amazed at the price and offers!
The list price was £8000 but they had £1000 off, plus the first 3 services for £99 (instead of £259 each!), five year warranty as standard and three year's RAC! We've even been offered a free car for 5 years while ours is in for servicing! That sounded to us like cheap, hassle free motoring for 5 years.
We are using half the petrol than we used to with our old, larger ... ...tax at £115 a year!
The outside of the car looks smaller than the inside, which is odd!
Inside is certainly ordinary looking, not a pretty cuddly car you would fall in love with. There is a lot of black plastic that shows the dust! 3 coffee cup holders, CD player as standard, air conditioning (amazing at this price!), dual air bags (passenger one can be switched off for baby seat), pockets in both doors for maps etc, one under the steering wheel, ...

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, 5 year warrenty Disadvantages: None
I love my car.
I brought my Getz in 04 for £5995. It has 5 years warrenty and 3 years free service. As a first car for a 17 year old, I was completely surprised with everything this little car has to offer. It is deceptively spacious. I now refer to it as a smaller big car, rather than a big small car. It has automatic windows, Central Locking (although not remote) and a CD player as standard. I have never had any problems with the cars performance. ... ...being made for small things like bulbs and wipers. It passed its last 2 MOT's again with no problems, Altough there was a recall item that needed to be replaced, which was done at the same time to no cost to myself and is now fine.
The car is now over 4 years old and done over 36000 miles. But is still as strong and comfortable to drive as day one. It has lovely clutch reaction being smooth and a pleasure to drive.
Anyone wanting a cheaper reliable ...

Advantages: Cheap as chips, huge inside, warranty Disadvantages: Niggly bits can break easily, not that fast
I love this car.
I bought it at the end of 2003, brand new for 6k. It came with 3 years free servicing, car mats and the obligatory 5 year warranty. I mainly use it for town driving, getting to and from work etc. I have no children so its barely been used in the back although does fit in four fully grown adults comfortably as it is incredibly deceptive with space. I remember my first impression was how big it was inside, it might be that the huge ... ...to making you feel safer as you feel you have a lot around you to protect you. The boot is also comfortable, not huge, but you can certainly get your weeks shopping in there.
I have had no problems with it (touch wood!) other than the slightly niggly things like one of the headlight bulbs went quite quickly, which was easy to do myself. Th cigarette lighter doesnt work, but will correct that when i next take it for its MOT. And i have had to replace ...

Quick review of Hyundai Getz 1.1
I have owned a Getz 1.1GSI since 2004 and although I was initially very satisfied I have now experienced so many problems it's become a real pain... even with the warranty, which I have used a lot! 3 Oil leaks, radiator replaced, blown headlights, ABS problems, clutch replaced and engine stripped and replaced. I am dreading the warranty expiry.
For a small car it's also quite thirsty and does not return the fuel economy you would expect from a small engine. ...

...January 2008 from my local Hyundai dealership. Its a superb little car that I would recommend to anybody.
Its nippy, reliable and well equipped, the five year warranty is brilliant and gives great piece of mind. Its great going for an MOT knowing that your wallet isn't about to take a tanking.
For a small car, its surprisingly good to drive and handles extremely well. Insurance is very cheap and it isn't too thirsty in the fuel stakes.
I love ...

...on the 5 Year Standard Hyundai warranty. I doubt you will find this sort of deal on any other car. The car is very spacy compared to other cars in the same range (corsa, fiesta, yaris). The car is fantastic to drive and handles a wide varety of situations very well. The car is very economical and even though the car has only a 1.1 litre engine it handles motorway driving beautifully. The only downside to the car that i have found is the fact there ...

...remainder of a five year Hyundai warranty which for the first two years even covers consumables such as bulbs. It also has the remainder of three years RAC cover with At Home included. This model comes with electric front windows, CD player and air con - fantastic on a car at this price. Cheap to insure as well and does very good miles to the gallon. The three door is particularly good for dealing with children in car seats - you can climb right ...
