2006 Hyundai Getz SXi from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Absolutely Nothing!

I never liked Hyundai until I looked at this car. In Australia it has just revived the car of the year award and Hyundai are so confident in it, it has a 5 year Unlimited KM Warranty!!! (until the end of thew month)

I have the SXi Model (Australian Sports Model) and its FANTASTIC! mild performance, sexy and sylyish.

I'm and 18 yo male and I recommend this car for ALL ages!

I'd like to say good on ya mate! Hope you do well with your new car. I am an ex-Ford EA Fairmont driver who didn't think much of Hyundais. I'm a guy who has owned five Fords. 69 V6 Capri (expensive to run), XB 351 (rusty, but fast), XD Ghia 302 (couldn't sell it fast enough- rusty too),XE EFI (tough fairly reliable- lots o rust),EA (disaster..would have felt guilty to sell it for more than a thousand bucks- my trade-in) and then something wonderful happened. Being older and wiser I looked at small cheap cars at the Melbourne International Car Show. The one I liked most was the Getz. I bought one and absolutely love it and think it's great that I didn't let what some people say, pressure me into spending more money. These cars are more than most people will need, are excellent in every way for what they are, and now with the price of fool, I mean fuel, an even smarter purchase if you need a runabout.

I'm from the Philippines and I must agree with you. I have owned dozens of cars, from the humble Kia Pride (a Mazda 121 in Australia or a Ford Festiva elsewhere) to a Mercedes S-Class, and I consider my newly-bought Hyundai Getz Diesel the best car I have owned, bar none! Value for money, feature for feature, the Diesel, which has a 1.5 liter common rail direct injection engine with variable geometry turbocharger, once warmed up, goes like a bat out of hell with a torque that rivals most sports coupes, gets an average of 35km/liter, handles very well, is comfortable, roomy, easy to park and feels solid. The Koreans have arrived in the mini department. And their women are so cute too.

I have just sold my BMW 520I 1999 which although was a beautiful car and lovely to drive (when it was not in the workshop getting computer and assoc items fixed) it was getting a bit thirsty round town. I looked at many new small cars including Renault, Citroen and Toyota, but I kept coming back to the Hyundai GETZ 1.6 5 door so I bought one. It is an awesome car, can fit 4 people no worries if required, great on the open road (feels like a big car) and also suprisingly feels European ie solid and very stable on the road. Lots of extras and fuel consumption in the new 1.6 L motor is very good. Lots of power and easy to park. A perfect solution.
