2006 Hyundai Getz crdi review from Philippines
"ECONOMICAL"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A slight problem of my car is that it has a lot of vibration, rattle and squeeking noise when traversing unevenly paved roads.
NOW the BIG problem is that the Dealer who sold the Car to me has a quality of service WORSE than what a group of Monkeys with wrenches can offer. Monkeys can be more knowledgeble than the service crews that tried to fix the rattle and squeek problem in my car!
I'll never buy a hyundai!
General comments?
Well besides the BAD HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP that got me so frustrated and made me decide not to ever buy a Hyundai ever again. I'm pretty happy with my getz!
I't gives me tremendous savings when it comes to fuel economy. I can get 17kms/liter on highway driving and around 12kms/liter city driving.
My previous car was a 95 honda civic hatchback EG with B18c spoon engine with some minor modifications like stand alone engine management and edelbrock intakes and GReddy exaust. But I gave it all up for economy and I got old so I don't need a fast a car, plus I already have 3 kids so I need the money that I can save and my honda is killing me with its 6kms/liter fuel consumption city driving and 7.5kms/liter consumption highway driving. To my surprise this little getz with 1.5 crdi diesel engine and turbo intercooler packs a lot of punch ofcourse I can't compare it with my EG, but the getz is really one quick car.
What I like about this car the most is that it almost has the same torque as my honda EG and its really fast. The fastest speed I dared to try with my getz was 175kph and the engine feels like it can still give more although I was bit afraid to try more because I was nearing Redl ine.
Its economical, its compact it has a lot of unwanted noise which my dealership can't fix!
STILL... I love this car!
