Overview

The Getz is one of Hyundai’s most popular models and it’s easy to see why. Cheap to run, spacious inside and a five-year warranty as standard make it a good choice if you’re looking for an affordable and easy to drive car. There are few thrills to be had though and it’s not especially comfortable either, with a cheap and dated interior plus a bouncy ride.

The dull looks do little to help raise the temperature but at least there’s good passenger space, particularly in the back where it is impressively roomy for such a small car. There’s also a good choice of engines including the CRTD diesel which is cheap to tax and returns 63mpg.
