Hyundai Getz 1.6 Sport 3d (2002/52) Owner Review

Economy
Value
SUPERB VALUE! Picked mine up for £4,999 from a main dealer and got a decent part ex. Parkers price at the time of purchase was £6,225! There is no way that any other car offers as much spec as this for so little money.
Costs
Yet to have a service, so can't comment. Petrol costs are very low for a 1.6.

On the road
Driving
An excellent drive, but the only fault I have with the car as a whole is that reverse gear can be difficult to engage. The clutch needs to go down 2 or 3 times just to make sure it's in.
Performance
9.3 seconds 0-60 and 104 bhp is fine for me. Not much at the top end, but who drives over 110 mph on a regular basis?

Living with it
Reliability
No Problems and even if there are, which I very much doubt there will, it's under warranty until 2008!
Image
Lot's of people ask what is it and are probably thinking "I wouldn't have one of those". I love it when they do, and I have a good laugh every time their European car breaks down again and again, and then they go and buy another one!
Comfort
Very comfortable. Even a friend who owns a Honda Civic Type R commented how good the ride was. The Getz is like a tardis. More room in the back seats than my Dad's Nissan Primera, and I'm not joking!

Security and Service
Security
Remote alarm and immobiliser as standard. What more can you ask for?
Service
The car wasn't very clean on collection. I phoned the dealer the next day who said he would arrange a valet. 4 months later I'm still waiting.
