To look at, the pint size Hyundai Getz is sophisticated and touches of class are evident with the neat little bonnet lines that sweep into the wrap-around front headlamps. The mesh grille houses the proud silver Hyundai badge, and the low raking windscreen elegantly blends in with the nice high roofline that hints toward plenty of cabin space inside. The black bumpers and door protectors look very neat as they glide around the Hyundai Getz bodywork.
Step into the wide open doors of the Getz and enjoy sitting into the well sculptured and designed seats. Hyundai gets top marks here for the driver's seat, which offers plenty of support. A comfortable body position should be achievable for most body shapes and sizes. Interior ambience is pleasant and the look of the well appointed dash is tasteful to the eye. Perhaps the nicest matching exterior and interior colours would be found in the Hyundai Getz SXi, where the midnight grey exterior blends superbly with the grey and red cloth trim of the interior. But this is only my taste being presented - there is a wide range of body colours and interior blends that will match your tastes too.
The Hyundai Getz comes in three guises. Each model is a hatchback and comes in S, SX and SXi varieties. The S and SX come as either a three door or five door hatch. The SXi is a sporty little 3dr number that just looks superb sitting on sexy 15 inch alloys. Drive this one around town, and heads will turn in your direction - guaranteed.
Under the bonnet of the Hyundai Getz S, a nippy little 1.4 litre motor fires into life. The S model has the option of a five speed manual or a four speed automatic transmission. But go figure this one: in the base model Hyundai Getz, for a paltry Aus $13 990.00, airbags in the front are standard. So, too, is power steering, front seat belt pretensioners, keyless entry, central locking, a six speaker stereo with audio controls on the steering wheel, and cupholders front and rear. Wow! Not a bad list of items in the base model - eh? Add to this ABS and a leather steering wheel, and the Getz SX is looking very good. Now add 15 inch alloys and a racy body kit, and you can show off for the low price of Aus $ 16 490.00 for the manual. The SX and SXi models have the more powerful 1.6 litre engine that delivers 78 kW of power at 5800 rpm. Also on tap is a useful 144Nm of torque at 3200 rpm. This translates into some zip that can pull the little Hyundai Getz along at a fair crack. The chassis and suspension setup is well balanced and comfortable. Running costs are class leading, so, the Hyundai Getz really does transform the meaning of the word frugal.
Hop inside and enjoy is the simplest end to this car review. Do drive the startling new Hyundai Getz and be impressed.
