Hyundai Getz

The Getz has been a hit in the UK for Hyundai – it’s one of their biggest sellers. It’s the Korean firm’s first modern small car and blends European looks with practicality and a spacious interior. There’s a choice of three and five-door hatchbacks, with excellent levels of standard equipment and the reassurance of an industry leading five-year warranty. The overall package comes closer to Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo than previous Korean attempts; so supermini buyers should certainly check it out.

GSI, SE, CDX, SPORT, CRTD

Getz is reasonably well equipped for the price; entry-level GSI models come with five-speed manual transmission, 14-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, 60/40 split folding rear seats, ABS, electric front windows, front airbags, radio with CD player, central locking, a height adjustable steering column, power steering and three three-point rear seatbelts as standard. In addition, CDX models upgrade to 14-inch alloy wheels, and add body coloured door mirrors and handles, electrically adjustable door mirrors, remote central locking and alarm, driver’s seat height adjustment, a trip computer, two additional rear speakers, a sunglasses holder, front fog lights, rear electric windows and a front interior light. All CDX models except 1.1 also get side airbags and an electric sunroof. 1.5 CRTD CDX+ models also come with a rear spoiler, mudflaps, a leather steering wheel and gear knob trim plus a centre console with a metallic effect finish. A four-speed automatic gearbox can be specified on 1.4 GSI and CDX. Other options include leather seat facings and door trim, plus metallic or mica paint.
