Concerning fuel consumption. You men are scaring me as I've just bought a Getz 1.6 L yesterday. Altough I live in Egypt and gas doesn't cost that much yet, I'm scared as I don't know how much will the rate of fuel consumption will be!!!
If any one knows, please email me, my email address is h.shiaty@architouch.com
Hi to all.
I bought my Getz 1.1 last April 2005, actually, comparing its displacement against body size, everyone can conclude that it's not as fuel efficient as one can expect against its leading competitors. Do you expect a 2.0 engine to run like V8? How come I get 14km/li? Maybe there's something wrong with your driving habit, you must watch your RPM, you must understand, the heavier your engine load, the more you increase your RPM, then the more you increase fuel consumption.
Hello.
I’m having a second thought buying a Getz even though I’m considering buying the 1.5CRDI versus Vios 1.3 and Jazz 1.3. The Fuel Economy and Reliability are the main factors I’m looking and not the brand/made.
Fuel Consumption can be affected by many factors like vehicle condition, tire pressure, weather, driving conditions, weight & load of the vehicle and of course driving habit.
As I research, I found out that the Getz is heavy at a curb weight of 1050kg for the 1.1 L engine with 66 PS and 10.1 Kg-m of Torque, 1100kg for the 1.4 L engine with 95 PS and 12.7 Kg-m of Torque and 1150kg for the 1.5 L CRDI (Common Rail Direct Injection) Diesel with 110 PS and 24 Kg-m of torque. It is obvious that the 1.1L engine will be struggling when the car is loaded and AC on, it means you have to rev it more that leads to higher fuel consumption. The Vios is lighter with a curb weight of 930kg for 1.3E, but the body is not as solid as the Getz.
Hi, I also own a 1.1 li Getz model 2005. Well, I can't seem to imagine that other people seem to be too skeptical about this car,or how it performs, but as far as I'm concern, this car is good, practical- prior to its size, design, space and comfort. About the fuel consumption? I get 13-14 km./li, if others seem to get 11km/li? someone's right, maybe its your driving habit that ables you to have a higher fuel consumption, remember, your driving a 1.1li engine not a 3.0li V8.
Hello!
I'm planning on getting a Hyundai getz 1.5 CRDi. Heard a lot of pleasing things about this car? Can anyone- those who have one- comment on this? Regards.
Hi. I am really considering buying, this time a brand new car. My last car was a 2nd hand 1997 3door Rav4. I stay in batangas, about 100km from manila and usually go to manila on weekends. I need a fuel efficient car. I have looked around and considered the following:
1. Honda City 1.3S (618k). As usual for honda, no discounts and perks, very high insurance. Honda Jazz at 650k is a little beyond my budget.
2. Toyota Vios 1.3E (615k). They offer 20k discount, bargain insurance, etc.
3. Hyundai Getz 1.4L. (518k) I really like this car at first look. The reason I considered this car is for the price, the specs which are better for the higher priced city and vios, like a small suv like my previous car, and being a COTY awardee (although I heard a lot of people contesting this award giving body). And they say it's a fuel miser. The dealer is really generous in offering perks like lower downpayment, lower insurance, free 1 year registration, etc. The only con is that people insist that I go for the more established brands like toyota or honda even though its 100k costlier.
After hearing all the comments here, I am having second thoughts about this car. I have scheduled a test drive for this coming weekend and will see.
I hope you guys can help me in my decision. Although Getz is a low priced car, I think I really need to have a good deal coz I plan to use this car for 4-5years. Thanks guys.
Hi. My wife and I are planning to buy a car. With the upward spiral of fuel costs it is, but natural to buy a car that would be fuel efficient. That is why we considered buying a 1.4 L AT GETZ. But every time we were about to go to the car dealer we feel some doubts about the car. Has anyone driven a 1.4L AT Getz? Any comments about it? Thanks.
Hi. Everybody is into the fuel consumption aspect of the car. That's understood considering the soaring prices of gasoline these days that, by the way, is endless. I'm just wondering if car attributes like spare parts availability and resale value, among others, were considered as well in purchasing a car. Each car may have its pros and cons, but, of course, the one which outweighs the rest for the long-term gets bought, right? Of course, that's the one that offers better pros than cons. It's the overall aspects of the car that's what most people should consider. If you could name a car like that, I would really appreciate the help. Oh... not to mention, I prefer a brand new car that is less appealing to the car-nappers and thieves, statistically ;). Nobody wants to have their car stolen.
I have finally test driven hyundai getz courtesy of hyundai-makati. To anybody who wants to test drive Hyundais vehicles, the staff will courteously assist you. Sad to say I am not that satisfied with the hyundai getz. We tested the 1.4L A/T, and it is a good drive. I am just dissapointed with the interiors specially the plastics. Although it's a stable drive, I can't help but cringe when we pass thru potholes.Well, can't expect much from it coz of its price compared to other similar models of other brands. Maybe I am just used to my older cars, civic esi and toyota 3dr rav4. And although its still spaceous for a subcompact, I still feel cramped. I am having a second look at the diesel 1.5L Matrix which is bigger and competitively priced.
I love my car very much. I have a GETZ 1.3L. I bought it in 2005 as brand new and it is 33000 km now. I have the same problem. It consumes 11k/l. But I am not so unhappy about that. Let me explain the reason for this. It is because GETZ is heavier than its rivals aprx. 100 kg. This is because it has two steel horizontal bars inside the front side doors and one in the back doors. Once when I was in service and I saw a GETZ hit from the front side door in 90 km. I didn't believe it that there was no deformation inside the front side door. The driver was safe. I believe that my safety is always more important than everything. GETZ makes you feel this. The outer metal is a hard heavy metal that is better than other brands. Ask this to your local body shop. Have you seen the cars you compare after an accident. Fuel consumption is not important for a dead/disabled man.
Hi Getz enthusiasts! I have enjoyed driving this car for 1 yeaR now, it took me, the wife, and my 2 kids a hardtime choosing between the kia picanto, and the honda jazz point per point. I travel 192 km a day and 5 liters of unleaded gas is enough to get me from my home to the office. the only thing I don't like about the car is the color, unlike picanto its so striking, but compatred to the jazz its better. the cd and powerwindows make me feel rich. What is the best tire size for the getz? 15 inch tires look great, but can the engine take it? Whats your experiences after 1 year? Thanks for keeping me posted.
My neighbor owns a picanto, she envies my getz, she can't outrun me when I do 180 kph, she only has fast colors. the best thing in the getz is the power windows and the cd player which the picanto doesn't have. Let's Getz them!
Many say that getz is not fuel efficient especially the 1.1 liter gasoline?,,was it in the calibration of EFI? getz looks nice and elegant and I'm planning to buy one, only the fuel conssumption make me think twice,,, I survey the fuel consumption of getz 1.4 and 1.6 and dealer said its 11 to 12 km per liter and why should a 1.1 liter would be just the same?
Can you help me on this?
I had just bought a Hyundai Getz 1.1L hatchback. I love the sporty and elegant design. I was told that fuel consumption is 14.5km/L on city driving and 17km/L on highway. I test drive the car and was satisfied with the comfort, power and handling with the car fully occupied with 4 persons. But do not expect the car to perform like 1.3,1.6 or 2.0L car.Overall, it was an enjoyable ride. The car interior looks modern and solid. The plastic for the dashboard looks solid. It must have made some improvement on the materials. The doors feel more solid as compared to proton savvy 1.2L.The door handles of Getz have firmer grip also. The interior quality of Getz is much better than picanto and savvy.Overall, getz is the winner. Bet on it!!!I just cannot wait to drive my Getz home in another weeks time. Bye bye!!!
HI can somebody tell my how the getz 1.1 litre car is facing the bendings on the road? thanks.
