2004 Hyundai Getz GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"The Getz is not only a winner, but a pretty car as well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing to date.
General comments?
Bought as a second car mainly for shopping in Melbourne's (four million) very heavy traffic, the Getz has so far, performed flawlessly.
The only thing that puzzles me is that in reverse (as heard from outside), the car sounds like a diesel.
Taken on a country trip, the Getz seemed at home on the freeway & on sealed country roads.
To be quite honest, I am really impressed with this 'Europeanised' Hyundai, & the finish is superior too many cars I have looked at while reviewing this category.
My other car is a Toyota Avalon (Advantage) built & bought by me in 2003, & the Getz complements this largish perfectly.
