...drove her down to the Hyundai dealer...
1) Looks : Cute, compact and modern. A body style which would not be outdated for the next 3 to 5 years. A blend of a pretty "baby car" and a serious vehicle that means business.
2) Exterior :
* Panel joinings are even, well placed and sound. The "knock-on-the-panels" test gives me the impression it has a tough little shell.
* Especially the pillars A through C are made of very thick steel sheets and they ... ...At least not the dreadful Hyundai quality you used to see on the Pony and Accent (pre-2003 models) However the same annoying metallic outside and opac inside paint scheme, as though the mechanic does not deserve to see a beautiful under bonnet paintwork... Never mind though, it' s OK for such a low price...
* The jet windshield washer nozzles are a complete novelty to me. I loved that.
* Tailgate / hatch washer and wiper work effectively. Large ...

...you can have.
The Hyundai Getz is generally touted as the best car Hyundai make. This is quite a bold claim. But the figures are pretty impressive.
The Getz (bear in mind I am talking about the 1.4 CDX version for this review) is loaded like a mid-range hatchback (i.e a Toyota Auris or Honda civic). All round electric windows, electric sunroof, air conditioning, power steering, electrically operated and heated wing mirrors and trip computer. So, ... ...shop (albeit free trips), because Hyundai reputation for reliability is now up there with Honda, Toyota and Jaguar. In the United States, they have continually won reliability awards.
So, I bet, right now, you're thinking "I've gotta get one!". Well, before you do, I must must confess that I've only told you half the story!
The interior is a pretty depressing place. Firstly, is the way they've coloured everything grey. This is a common complaint ...

Advantages: It's better than nothing -- just Disadvantages: Cheap, tackey, just really bad and lucklustre
...guessed it, it was a hyundai Getz. I saw another positive review of this car here, and couldn't believe what I read. It's probably becuase the poerson had spent their own money on the car and so had to justify it. Anyway, these are the bare facts on this car as far as I can tell. a) the standard features are really not all that great. e.g. alloys --> after one month they were showing signs of stress and wear that normal wheels show, not alloys!
... ...air through the system, or cool enough. It was like partial air conditioning which would die out by the time air reached the rear. OK for the UK, but not for Greece. c) Air bags --> well, I'll assume they worked (didn't test em), which is a plus I guess. d) The worst clutch, the mushiest and most temperamental brakes ever and a almost dangerously slow acceleration made this a relatively frightening car to drive. No confidence is given to the driver ...

...a ford ka or the hyundai getz. The thing that made the getz stand out to me was the fact that they come with 5 years parts and labour warranty - brilliant no more uncomfortable trips to garages with the fear of being completly and utterly ripped of due to my own lack of knowledge.
Intruiged by this I headed of in search of a hyundai dealer.
When I reached my destination I was pleasently suprised these cars were lovely looking - I'd kind of been ... ...put hyundai as a top notch car manufacturer.
On my test drive I took out the 1.3 gsi version.
WOW this car is lush to drive, its got excellent pick up on it so no more crawling out of junctions at 1mph!
the abs means you only have to tap the brakes instead of stomping on them. The steering is feather light.
The car looks gorgeous too - I got the black version - its got alloys, side skirts and a rear spoiler, just enough to add sexiness to the ...

Advantages: Exellent Value Disadvantages: Bit unispiring
Having tried out a few of its peers I plumped for a Getz and was very impressed. Value for money is something I actively pursue, think its inherited from my father who used to having me rumaging through rubbish tips when i was young trying to find some hidden treasures. And we did find some!!!!
Anyhow, I was in the mood for a new car as my 2 yr old 106 was a very poor choice, it kept breaking down!! A lot!! for no reason and it never got put right ... ...around after looking Ford Fiesta's, Corsa etc and wasn't overly struck by any of them for my budget., then i saw 5 year warrenty splashed across the windscreen and down the side of the Getz at the Hyundia dealer. This car doesnt stand out initially but its well worth having a proper look at it. I started thinking I quite like the looks of it for , it quite smart really!!
I then vertured further to have a look inside and it was pretty smart and roooomy ...

...thing I would plead with Hyundai to change.
Overall, it is around the same standard as its counterparts, such as the Corsa, Clio and Polo. It costs around the same too. Therefore I'd advise anyone torn between these options to go for the Polo - it really does live up the the VW name. ...

I have owned my Hyundai Getz 1.3 GSI for a year now. I tried several of it's rivals before buying, but overall found the Getz to be the best value.
It's a very spacious small car, it feels like you're driving something a lot bigger. There's plenty of room for a weekly shop and you can easily get three people in the back without them feeling cramped.
The engine is very nippy around town, although it can struggle a little sometimes up very steep ... ...no problems at all, and the aftersales service from Hyundai is second to none. Buying new from Hyundai was also a pleasant experience, with no pushy sales-people and definately no pressure.
Overall I think the Getz is excellent value for money and I would definately buy from Hyundai again! ...

Advantages: Fantastic Compact Car very reliable Disadvantages: None
...our house there are 2 Hyundai Getz and we yet have to find something to complain about. The reliability is excellent, they look excellent, they are comfortable inside and they are very good value for money. They come with 5 years free servicing. The parts are reasonably priced. The dashboard and the interior of the car is well designed and they are very comfortable to drive. You can fit 3 in the back without too much discomfort - the legroom at the ... ...For a small can the boot is very big we fir a full PA system in without any trouble. The Getz has folding rear seats split 60/40. Tyres are small so relatively cheap to replace. Fuel consumption is good as is the pick up speed. Fuel economy is around 49.6 mpg on a combined cycle and 40.4 mpg around town. On a practical level the Getz has good sized front door pockets, electric windows, driver and passenger vanity mirrors, seat back pockets, the passenger ...

Advantages: good mileage and low insurance group. Disadvantages: not built for families, but is great for me ( a student)
I have a 2003 '52' Getz thats done under 69,000 miles. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Another review here mentions that the car has problems after 60.000 miles, but i've had none. The only thing i have had to change is the ratchet on the handbrake, but that was due to a friend borrowing the car and not pressing the button when lifting the brake (as you should)!! I intend to have my car for many years to come, and don't envisage having ...

Advantages: Great value for money Disadvantages: Not as well known as other makes of car
Having decided to purchase a new car the problem I had was to know which one to buy as there is so many to choose from. Having spent most the weekend looking and driving all the various models I decided on the Getz 1.3 CDX. Basically with so many standard features with this car ie Alloy wheels, Air conditioning, Air bags and many more great features it was a rather an easy decision to make once the weekend was over!! What really stood out to myself ...

Advantages: Spacious inside the car Disadvantages: No pick up speed, limited boot space
In my opinion the Hyundai Gets 1.3 CDX is only good for learners and unconfident 1st time drivers. Their is virtually no pick up speed, struggling up minor hills in 2nd gear. Along with the loud noises when it reaches 70mph on the motorway it sounds like it isn't going to make it! Also one problem I found was when there was strong wind because of the square shape of the car it did swerve around and was hard to control.
After 60,000 miles things ...
