2006 Hyundai Getz GL 1.5 CRDi 16v 65 kW (88 HP)

Summary:

Excellent small car, not only for city drive

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong so far.

General Comments:

So far I am very satisfied with my Getz 1.5 CRDi, 16v, 65 kW (88 HP). It is very responsive and I enjoy driving it. It makes me want to race on the road the whole time. But the suspension is not built for any kind of racing, it is very soft and therefore, the ride is very comfortable.

The fuel economy could be a little better. On the highways the consumption is between 5 and 6 Liters/100km (56.5 – 47.1 miles per gallon UK), depending on the driving style, and in the city 7.5 – 8.5 Liters/100km (37.7 – 33.2 miles per gallon UK), depending on rush hours.

I do not have any service experience so far, since the car has only 3900 km.

2003 Hyundai Getz GLS 1.6 16V

Summary:

Excellent bargain with great potential

Faults:

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.
