Hyundai Getz (2002 - 2009) 1.4 CDX 5d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like a cost effective car and that functionality is more important than image!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

No comment really, it's a basic car that does the job, not out to impress.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - I'm not selling it but passing it on to my son.

What are you likely to buy next?

I needs something larger as it is not good for 4 adults travelling (plus 2 dogs!). I don't know yet but would look at larger class of Hyundai and Toyota.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

June 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, reasonable deal. They let me hold the car on deposit so I could sell my car privately and this meant I was happy with the deal as it was about in line with the Parkers value. Only downside was I got only 1 key and the replacement cost £200!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap to run, good passenger and boot space for its class, economical, preferred the drive to the Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, helpful, not pushy and willing to do a deal. They were not a Hyundai franchise - so this was a car taken in part exchange.

What's it like to drive?

I love it - it is light and responsive.

What's it like to park?

Excellent, very good visibility and turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No - only paid for servicing, tyres etc. It has been a super car which has never let me down.

What's most practical about your car?

Boot space/flexibility.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Its not a gadgety car - its functional and easy to drive, good visability. The back seats folding 100% flat is helpful as is the option to decrease the angle to give more boot space - useful with a car full plus dogs.
