Hyundai Getz 1.3 CDX 5d Auto (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good, if not outstanding value. I really only needed air con added to the GSI spec. So feel I paid for some kit I did not need. But does look good on its alloys !
Costs
No first hand experience of costs, but free 3 year servicing and 5 year warranty all help.

On the road
Driving
Corners well and feels nimble. Comfortable ride, but speed humps need to be taken with care. A very easy and reassuring drive. Good motorway cruiser, too my surprise! Good all round visibility for driving, but poor rear view when reversing.
Performance
Nippy around town. 4 speed auto box very smooth. Only noisy when foot is to the floor. Quiet cruiser, only doing about 2,600 revs at 70 mph. Feels stable at this speed.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far ( 9 months from new ).
Image
Smart, modern looking car. Friends thought it was a Yaris or Jazz when I first had it. Hyundai image seems on par with Ford or Vauxhall.
Comfort
I have a bad back, so high seating position for ease of entry was important. Drivers seat has very good height adjustment. Firm, but comfortable seats. Good leg room in back. Boot size ok

Security and Service
Security
No deadlocks, very basic alarm. All doors and boot lock / unlock from remote, which is good.
Service
Buying experience very good. A recall to check brakes was done quickly and smoothly. Just as well, as reports of good service from Hyundai was a factor in my buying decision !
