Overview
The 1.4 petrol and 1.5 diesel Getz are better-suited to out-of-town driving than the 1.1. All Getz
versions are well-priced second-hand; prices have come down since the launch of Hyundai’s
newer i20 supermini. The Getz was replaced by the i20 in 2009. Mildly refreshed in 2007, its reliability has been
well-proven and later cars will come with the balance of Hyundai’s comprehensive five-year
warranty. The tall body and large doors provide good access and headroom. The cabin is logically
designed and even base versions come with air-con as standard. The 235-litre boot grows to
555 litres with the seats down, but space for passengers in the rear seats is more cramped
than in some rivals.
The 1.1 petrol lacks power and isn’t well suited to motorway work. We recorded an average
of 43.5mpg (officially 51.4mpg). The 1.4 petrol gives lively performance but economy isn’t as
good: we measured 39.8mpg versus the claim of 47.1mpg. We also tried the 1.5 diesel, which
returned 51.4mpg – again, some way short of the official figure of 62.8.
Secondhand buyers may be impressed by the dependability of the Getz. It scored a
decent three-star reliability rating in the latest Which? Car Survey. The most commonlyreported faults are with the air con, exhaust, clutch and non-engine electrics.

Owner’s View
As a commuter/local

It is cheap to run and just

On the road
How we test
The interior of the Getz is mostly well laid out and build quality is pretty good. It’s a stable and
secure drive, but the 1.1 engine is weak.
Performance
Performance
★★★
The 1.1 petrol in the Getz is weak and best avoided. With a 0-60mph time of 16 seconds, it’s
one of the slowest cars we’ve tested - safe overtaking isn’t always easy. The engine can sound
rough and strained at high revs, too. Selecting forward gears is easy but quickly choose reverse and you’ll be greeted by a loud
crunch. You get the same crunching noise selecting reverse on the gearbox in the 1.5 diesel
too and again it’s a pretty noisy engine at high revs, but performance is better. Given that
the 1.5 diesel offers similar performance to the 1.4 petrol, it makes a lot of sense, thanks to its
excellent fuel consumption. But if you can’t bear to touch that greasy diesel pump, the 1.4 petrol offers a decent
turn of speed. It superceded the 1.3 petrol in 2005; our tests also showed this engine to be
reasonably peppy.

Handling
★★★
Handling
The Getz feels stable on the road and understeers in corners, a safer option for the less
experienced driver. Steering is smooth and quite precise and, with its fairly small turning circle,
the Getz is easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces.

How we test
Cabin and controls
★★★
Cabin and controls
The Getz is mostly well built and the doors close solidly and smoothly. The instruments and
main controls are also easy to reach and well laid out, but some controls, such as the air
conditioning and the rear demister, are placed a bit too low down. The steering wheel is
adjustable for height, but not reach, while the interior lights are nice and bright.

Visibility and parking
★★
Visibility and parking
Wide roof pillars, and door mirrors which make things seem further away than they actually
are, contribute to less than ideal visibility from the Getz. Also, the front of the car isn’t visible
from the driver’s seat due to the angle of the bonnet. The slightly raised driving position
compensates somewhat.
Externally, the bumpers are rather fragile and prone to scratching when parking; they
appear to be designed more for looks than to offer any real protection. Also, the rear fog lights
are integrated into the rear bumper and are therefore themselves vulnerable to damage.
Model tested
We penalise cars with difficult controls,
and we look for things like backlit light
switches and easy-to-use heating and
ventilation adjustments.

Comfort and practicality
How we test
The seats in the Getz are comfortable, although some might find knee space a bit too tight in
the back if there are tall people sitting in the front. The boot is average for the class.
Getting in and out
Getting in and out
★★★
A tall body, large doors and low door sills make getting in and out of the Getz pretty
straightforward, but remote central locking was fitted only to the more expensive models in the
range. The cabin in the front is wide, and headroom is good. In the back, knee room is a little
lacking, although width and headroom are quite good.

Seat space and comfort
★★★
The front seats are firm and give good support. The driver’s seat is height- and tilt-adjustable,
although the range of adjustment isn’t great. There’s a good left footrest for the driver. The rear
seats recline too, but offer little thigh support, as the seats are low to the floor. The rear seats
are really designed for two passengers, so it’s pretty uncomfortable with three adults in the
back.
Model tested
We take measurements all around the
driver and passenger’s door apertures
and note the height of the seat, door sills
and step down onto the car floor. The
best cars don’t require too much bending
or stretching to get in and out.

We assess seat comfort subjectively,
using our road testers’ expert knowledge

see how well the car caters for people of
all shapes and sizes.

Boot and storage
★★★
Boot and storage
Boot capacity in the Getz is average for the class at 235 litres, but it’s a good square shape.
You can fold down the split/fold rear seats to create a completely flat load area of just under
555 litres (measured to the window line), though first you have to remove the rear head
restraints. The tailgate opens easily but you need to lift luggage over a high lip.

Carmakers give official stats for boot
space, but our tests are more realistic. We
load the boot up with measuring blocks
only as far as the rear window line, so
that luggage is well secured and won’t
obscure rear visibility. We repeat the test
with the rear seats up, and folded down
(where possible).
Heating and ventilation
Unusually for a small, inexpensive car, air conditioning was standard on even the cheapest
model in the range. The heater is powerful too, helping to warm up the car in a short time on
cold days. As with most cars, the rear of the cabin takes a bit longer to acclimatise.

Feel sorry for the tester who has to warm
each car up from a frosty -10 degrees in
our climate chamber. Starting with a cold
engine, we measure how long it takes to
warm up the front and rear of the cabin.
Diesel cars usually take longer. We also
check the effectiveness of air conditioning, where fitted.

Running costs and depreciation
How we test
Servicing costs are slightly more expensive than average for the class, but other running costs
are as you’d expect for a supermini.
The cheapest Getz to insure, the 1.1, falls into low-cost insurance group 4, with the top-spec
CDX sitting in group 6, about average for this sector; there are no high-performance Getz
models for insurance companies (or drivers) to get excited about. Servicing costs on the Getz
are towards the higher end of the supermini class, the diesels costing a little more to maintain
than the petrol versions. Fuel consumption
Hyundai claims the 1.1 Getz should average 51.4mpg, though we managed much less —
43.5mpg — in our tests. Again, the manufacturer’s published figure of 62.8mpg for the 89bhp
1.5 diesel seems optimistic; in our test, we achieved only 51.4mpg.

Fuel consumption
We test fuel economy under strict lab
conditions – using realistic test cycles – to
reveal the facts behind the figures. Our
figures rarely match manufacturer claims
as, unlike the official mpg test, we measure economy with both a hot and cold
engine, and on the motorway.

Security
The Getz doesn’t offer particularly good resistance to theft, but at least it’s not an obvious
target for thieves. It puts up a poor defence against smash-and-grab opportunist thefts and
break-ins.

Which? Car Survey results
About our survey
The Which? Car Survey is the UK’s biggest and best reliability and owner satisfaction survey.
In 2013, drivers told us about 57,182 cars, covering more than 450 million miles in the previous
12 months (that’s equivalent to driving 18,398 times around the world). This unique feedback
allows us to rate satisfaction and reliability for hundreds of new and used cars.
Note Star ratings below are from 1-5 (1 is very poor and 5 is very good). Percentages shown
under ‘Most common faults’ indicate the proportion of owners reporting each problem in the
past 12 months.

more headaches than mechanical parts in
most modern cars.
