2004 Hyundai Getz GSi review from UK and Ireland
"Small Fuel Guzzler. Worse than Octavia VRs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor MPG.
General comments?
Bought this car in April and it was a good deal, with only 10 miles on the clock. This was well equipped with electric windows, CD player, ABS and 5 year warranty.
Performance is OK, but it's no hot hatch. Gets a bit loud on motorways, but can cruise at 70mph well enough.
Built quality is quite good as well for such a cheap car. Rear space is limited though and boot space only good for the shopping. No trips to Ikea in this.
****MPG****
This is the big issue. The MPG it gives for a small car is terrible. Average is 38 MPG when Hyundai state 49.9. They must have got this by free weeling it down a bank with vapour in the tank. It will not give you this on average. They are many reports of poor MPG for the Getz so it must be a general problem or a general exaggeration of the MPG. My Octavia VRs can get better MPG than this!!! If you want good MPG buy a different car.
