Hyundai Getz
-
Anybody owns one? Is it worth it?
Thinking of getting it second-hand next year..as a first car.
-
get manual one better.
-
go get the Coupe version...
-
You mean the two-door version? Yea, I'm aiming for a gold beige coloured one. lol.
-
1.6m if ure lookin for some pick up...
-
Drove before last time. Pick up .. not bad for a 1.6 But space wise.. got to think twice. The passenger at the back will feel like sardines... Look wise.. kit it up would look not bad but hopefully not like some multicolour which i saw on the road which looks like picaso art work being smeared with thinner.. lolz..

Yeap... the new getz 1.4 A is not a bad one.. I should say value for $$.
The new version comes with DOHC while the 1.1M still using SOHC
I got Half leather seat, default sun visor, fog light, sports rim, door visor, reverse sensor all at $40999.
But now COE went up so the price of car is also up.
It is a spacious car although its looks small from the outside when compared to 1.1 cars and a bit less space when compared to 1.6 car. Its interior has simple and easy to read dashboard, no complication.
The pick-up is a bit slow especially with 5 ppl in the car, but if you pump 98 petrol will solve the problem.
The chasis is strong and if it rains its not so noisy as compared to japanese car. After a long ride from Singapore to KL and back to Singapore, the chasis doesn't have any dent marks as the car pick-up small sand and stone while travelling. Only a small scratch at the top of my roof, about 1 cm line.
One think i dun like about the getz is that the key is not so stylish although the key pouch is and the autolock function will work only if you close all the doors and start the engine. Otherwise you have to autolock all the time.
The radio antenna keeps hitting the roof if you are going into a 1.8m car park but can be solved by folding down the antenna which i didnt notice in the first place.
When you drive at 100km/h and up, you have to turn on your radio loud a bit coz its noisy on the road
Overall its a very easy to handle car. U-turn, cornering and staying in lane is simple. Very value for $$. In my opinion if you drive alone and ferry ppl here and there occassionally, its worth to get it.
There is a overdrive button is always in on-position. Off it and its like a 1.1 car so leave it on then.
Fuel consumption i am getting is about 10km/litre.
Servicing is cheap also. Only $120 plus for first servicing.
Some servicing is expensive..
Click about 4500km now
Overall is good.. but i like the tucson as its a cool SUV -
I think hyundai cars are more spacious compare to Japanese normal saloons. Even the 1.1L Hyundai Getz has a spacious interior too, more headroom and legroom for tall drivers. Tall drivers will appreciate more.

Plus it's featured in our "Orchard Drift" poster

drinks petrol horrendously, understeers even at low speeds. I didn't like the way it drives, but the interior trim wasn't bad.Originally posted by Deunamist:Anybody owns one? Is it worth it?

The Getz is not too bad lah....lots of them running around, seems quite reliable. And yes, the Korean cars are more spacious on the interior than their Japanese counterparts (I had a Korean before too).
But someone said 10 km/litre? Thats too much for a car that size! Wah lau....drinks almost as much as my rectangular stationwagon loaded with goods behind. -

10km/l? thats being optimistic i think. When I drove one for a while, i had to top it up 3 times a day. I normally top up a car when it reaches the 1/4 mark, and i usually top it up to the 3/4 mark. So u can figure for yourself, one day of driving it drinks 1.5 tank of fuel. Scary crap.Originally posted by gentlerock:The Getz is not too bad lah....lots of them running around, seems quite reliable.

Just a calculation its 11.7km to be exact.
Usage pattern 20% small roads 80% highway -
Actually the back seats can be declined to an angle such that it is pretty comfortable for the passenger.Originally posted by drumstick:Drove before last time.
