Hyundai Getz (02-09) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Last Updated: 27 January 2009
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.

Equipment

The Getz is reasonably well equipped for the price. Entry-level GSI models come with 14-inch steel wheels, power steering, air conditioning, 60/40 split folding rear seats, ABS, electric front windows, front airbags, CD stereo, central locking and a height adjustable steering column. CDX models upgrade to 14-inch alloy wheels and add body coloured door mirrors and handles, electrically adjustable door mirrors, remote central locking and alarm, driver’s seat height adjustment, a trip computer, front fog lights and rear electric windows. All CDX models except the 1.1-litre also get side airbags and an electric sunroof. 1.5 CRTD CDX+ models come with a rear spoiler, mudflaps, a leather steering wheel and gear knob trim plus a centre console with a metallic effect finish. A four-speed automatic gearbox can be specified on 1.4 GSI and CDX. Other options include leather seat facings and door trim, plus metallic or mica paint.
