Exterior Design (4/5)

            Very attractive, especially the front side. But rear side is a little bit of a let down.

            The dashboard and beige interiors are good.  Lot of storage places.  Very spacious and airy cabin.  Big boot.

 

Performance (4/5)

            More tuned for ride comfort than for handling.

            Stops well with help from ABS.

 

Refinement (5/5)

            Very good.  No engine noise or road noise or tyre noise.

Hi All,

Writing this review so that it is helpful to all looking out for a new car. I got GETZ 1.1 GLE this month. So far I had driven 750 kms clocking a mileage of 11.42 kms/l. Conditions of driving - to and fro from office (I travel from east delhi to noida - it takes minimum of 45 mins to travel 15kms - 80%time AC was on).

Initially I was confused about i10 / getz but decided to go for getz for its better looks, space and big car feeling and almost same price.

Pick up car is alright, i will not say very good but is good enough for driving in traffic of delhi but sometime engine gives you a sluggish feeling. Drove it with full load of 5 persons and AC on and felt less of power and pickup.

Good style, spacious, great leg room.engine to power ratio.

I own a Getz 1.1 GVS option model. The car is spacious and all passengers can comfortably sit when compared to a Santro or other hatchback cars. The interiors are beautiful. I love the cup holders in the Getz. Also the steering adjustment feature is great. Pricing is on the higher side comparing the features offered by Hyundai, it seems all the vehicles are overpriced and not excatly a value for money as compared to Maruti. After driving Santro for 3 years expectation from Getz was more in terms of power and pickup. 1.3 is a better option because the 1.1 is suitable for Santro put not powerful enough to handle the weigth of Getz. The breaking needs to be more powerful and the turning radius should have been 4.5, Also I miss the rear wiper present in the Santro zip LS model. The car is good ...but i feel i would have been a happier young man had i bought the 1.3 variant with ABS, which would an additional 70K more.Getz is a spacious car which is very sturdy while driving.1.1 lacks power and pickup on the highway and uphill roads

I bought my GETZ PRIME 1.3 GVS in Dec 2008 with a very good deal from dealer. Before finalizing on it i went through lot of research and never given a single thought for it. I was waiting for A-star, but fully disappointed after actually seeing it (No boot space at all). I saw Swift but again it was priced too much with less space and features as compared to Getz. I was just amazed to see the leg room and boot space in getz. Without wasting time I booked one (Dynasty red) with a very good deal. Dealer gave me Cash discount (4000/-), key less entry (4500/-), Music syatem with four spekares (Blaupunkt), matting, plus Hyundai scheme of Insurance free (16000/-). It worked out to 488000/- approx.

Myself and my wife had test driven Getz 1.1 and Logan Petrol model. As far as driving comfort was concerned both of them looked very good to us.  But considering the finishing touches and extras that Getz has over Logan and considering the high body quality of hyundai cars in general we went for Getz 1.1. GVS.  Had driven it long distance 400 kms from chennai - was very comfortable driving.  Reclicning option in back seats a big plus in Getz.  I did not notice any big problem in pickup on highway.  In fact I did not cross 80 kmph (as it is a new vehicle).  Nevertheless I did not face any significant pick-up problem reaching 80 kms.  Unless one is obsessed with extraordinay pick up, Getz will be very good buy for a VFM customer.  Also, the dealer provided me lot of freebies including Remote locking system, Sunfilm, floor mats, mud flaps, free insurance and teflon coating. He also provided Exchange bonus and corporate bonus, making the final OTR highly attractive.  Serious buyers can go for this at the earliest as Hyundai is likely to hike prices of all its model due to high input costs.smooth drive, lovely feeling, comfortable sitting and feeling of luxury in GVSengine turns off sometimes when accelarating from neutral to 1st gear.

I am a proud owner of Getz GLE 1.1 (real earth) sice 27^th march.

The car fulfills all my requirements.

Some very user friendly features: 60-40 spliting rear seats, boot access from cabin, adjustable steering, lots of cubbyholes to put small things like sunglasses, mobiles, magazines and everything (there is no longer any cluter in the cabin as there is a specific place for all the articles that I carry along.

Great driving position (excellent seating position with great view of the road, large windows ensure good alround view and give an airy feel in the cabin.)

Rear legroom is large, seats are very comfortable, rear sears backrest can be adjusted at 3 angles: great comfort for long drives.

Boot is big with very easy loading because of wide boot release door. Double folding seats leaves you with a boot which I just can’t describe in words.Really some big thought has gone into designing this car.

Beige interiors with high end plastics give a luxury feel once you step into cabin. And that big dash with plateau upper surface-simply great.

Exterior is as exciting-elegant, goodlooking, pleasing to eyes. This car has great charm.

Engine delivers fine with very good AC. Good milage (12 in city with ac)

This is the right choice I made (I am glad I cancelled my earlier booked Swift-which just is hyped a lot)

 

One word for Getz prime: OUTSTANDING.

Good fuel economy, Good style.nil

Buying experience was good..courteous service at the showroom.smooth and noiseless riding..good looks and performance up to the mark never had any break down issue till now...timely servicing and well maintained. PROS:Good performance, attractive look and more space and comfort. CONS:power to weight ratio ..low traction in 2nd gear.

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST YEAR JULY ALREADY CLOCKED 30,000 KMS NO MAJOR BREAKDOWN. HEAD LIGHTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE POWERFUL ( OEM 55W/60) POOR VISIBLITY IN NIGHTS. OVERALL A POWERFUL AND FUN TO DRIVE CAR.TREMENDOUS PICKUP IN 3RD GEAR.SPONGYENORMOUS PICKUP, GOOD INTERIORSNO TUBELESS,REAR DEFOGGER, FOG LAMPS, BAD HEAD LIGHTS

I was really excited to get into the Getz Prime 1.1 having heard great things about the car.

As soon as you get inside, you can make out - its a BIG car. Lots of room, practical things(pockets of storage, tilt steering, excellent seats). The ride is very comfortable, but surely its a big car with a small engine. The ride is very sluggish, i drove the Swift and the Swift Dezire and this car is no match if you are looking at a peppy ride. Its almost at times like an elephant on the roads.

Where the car scores is the ride when it takes 4th gear and the great comfort negotiating the N number of bumps on bangalore roads. However, i think i was more at ease with my santro when negotiating the city traffic.

Buy it if you want great mileage, comfort, and have a family. Also for build and interiors quality.

Do not buy it if you are looking for a peppy ride and love to feel the engine take off when u press the pedal as that is a disappointment.
