2003 Hyundai Getz GLS review from Croatia
"Excellent bargain with great potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fortunately nothing have gone wrong.
General comments?
If you have racing car in garage which you use every weekend for racing, then nothing can get you enough adrenaline while driving. If you had the opportunity to drive an Integrale EVO II, then nothing is fast enough at the road between street lights.
Seriously, the Hyundai Getz isn't a racing car or Integrale EVO II, but is very nice small car. I changed the suspension to put it lower and harder in cornering, and put the Getz on 195/50-15 Yokohama's. These changes make the small Hyundai run like a Go Kart.
Room inside is enough for a 2m tall person. Materials are OK, especially when you pay approximately 10,000 EUR for the car.
The sound of engine become excellent after I switched the regular filter with a K/N. This change provides more consumption because I always want to listen pure engine sounds - and all my neighbors.
Few words - small, cheap, quality, fast car for fun, which can be used for family trips. The seats are very comfortable, even at the backs.
