2003 Hyundai Getz Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The car is ment to get from A to B, you can't expect more. You can drive it 'normally', than there is no problem exept you get everywhere 10 minutes late. You can drive it lika a sportcar, but then things get worse. Acceleration is ... well, not so good. Handling is horrible, and i will not mention the branking... Top speed is about 180 km/h, and you should be damn lucky if you survive that stunt. Anyhow, unless I dare to drive sporty, I've never lost a wheel or had any failures to the engine. So it IS a very good car, if all you need is 4 wheels and a roof above your head.Aug 27, 2008

My best car so far - despite its usual "city car" look, it's a real beast, with a powerful 1600 ccm/105 hp engine that is said to be taken from the 1.6 Hyundai Elantra. I bought the car as suggested by my car dealer after moving from my ex-Hyundai Atos. I recently started to use the "Eurosuper 100 BS", a high-octane type fuel, which expanded all of its potentials (especially the acceleration). Everything else is also just great - my Getz came with a rear spoiler and the „wide“ type of brake lights built in it (adds a sporting look to it), electrical windows, adjustable seats, and lots of driver's head space (great for tall guys like me). With regular oil and motor check at a good car repair shop, it can prove to be very reliable, and it will loyally serve you for years - I have mine for 5 years already and I never had any problems with it, although I didn't drive it much (just 11100 km/7400 miles), as I'm using it mostly just to get around my town and its suburbs.Feb 22, 2008
