i wish to buy a new car n i prefer GETZ becourse the nice out look .... bufore i buy it , do anyone hv oppinion abt tis car???

high FC but rigid body

my younger sis have one getz 1.4 auto. less than 5mths old.

overall ok.

just for info. no bashing intention.
compared with myvi 1.3 premium auto:

getz's pros:
*seating position is high.
*more comfy.
*bundled with good radio (panasonic cd player).
*handles well.
*fuel consumption ok, but don't drive fast, small car here.
*outside sound penetration lesser.

getz's cons:
*rubber strips at door seems to be "bengkok2" after sometimes. dunno why?
*rubber strips at window seem to be "koyak". also dunno why?

fc not that bad lah.just drive proplerly

high FC ? but i hear some say now only nid 16 sen per KM ? it's real ? or tis counted hign FC ?
n tis car hv aldry out for so long time if i buy a new wan now still deserve?

Sat in both the 2-doors and 4-doors before.

My comment is:
- low power (can't complain much though)
- hate the plastic interior trim
- interior design too flimsy
- side mirror too small
- handles well
- seat really too high

Overall: Not bad, but better get a Myvi.

I'm not a Myvi driver by the way.

Oh.. firstly thanks for ur oppinion .....
but the out look of the getz is nicer compare to myvi....
but i will consider ur oppinoin too ... thanks again.....

the hyundai and inokom version both have the same engine right? cos my gf driving a hyundai getz 1.4. i always drive her car, and the pickup and the engine sound are very nice. the burbling exhaust makes u wanna go faster whenever possible. of course going faster means higher fc, and it's very noticeable with this car. i also drive a 1.3 saga blm which is way way much slower than this getz, but the fc better. it's a really good car and i can assure u that u wont be disappointed! oh, by the way, the car vibrates above 130kph, but drive below that and everything will be nice and smooth. great for city driving.

WOW thanks for ur post
den sound nice to buy a new getz 1.4
but how high is the fc ?

nice stereo too, i think her car got pioneer... not sure, but sounds way better than saga's clarion. and the door shuts firmly with a nice thud, even though the car almost 2 years already. my saga loses the nice "thud" when u close the door after a few months only. steering a bit rough and plasticky, and kinda big too, doesnt feel very sporty. anyway, sorry i can only compare the getz with saga cos those are the only two cars i've driven the way i want to. i drove other cars too but cannot give comparison cos my parents wont let me speed in their nissan x-trail and serena..

Added on April 16, 2009, 7:13 pmdidnt measure, but the tank empties faster than the saga whenever i drive from selayang to sunway. can see the meter going down bit by bit. but maybe it's bcos i drive the car real hard, cos i really cant drive this car slowly cos it's real fun to floor the pedal! flooring the pedal of the saga only turns up the engine noise, but there's no power at all. fc doesnt matter much when u've got a car this fun to drive. sure it's no ferrari, but it's a great car for it's price.

WoW sound like good ya...
i think choose tis car is not the wrong choice....
any comment abt tis car more???

the body is quite tough imo..

got one getz 1.3 cbu here, overall i can say its a good car, except hi fc imo

Hi, I'm an Inokom Getz user. I think it is a good car. FC not too high cause my uncle who works in Inokom Kulim says that this car is nominated for fuel savings last year. I think, any car will get high FC if we speed.

1.3 sure higher fc than 1.4.is there any 1.6 came to malaysia?if not mistaken getz 1.6 selected as car of the year sometime back i read in What Car uk magazine

High FC: Yes to 1.3L getz, but definately NO for 1.4L version
rigid body: A BIG yes to all getz (1.3,1.4 & 1.6)

There is lots of general bad perception about Korean cars but I feel the current generation is quite good compared to those in the 90s. Definitely better than local cars.

My only concern is the spare parts and maintenance cost. Owners of hyundai any feedback on parts and servicing ?

wait for the i20 perhaps? its a Getz replacement but dunno when reaching malasyia

http://www.hyundai-i20.co.in/

fyi atoz replacement is i10

Getz 1.4 Manual is very good in highway cruise. Frequently cruising at 90-110km/h is recommended. Any higher than this can lead to increased FC.

Below is the lowest FC I ever got. Now under normal driving and traffic condition I faced daily, the FC was 6.3l/100km.

Older Hyundai Getz do not have Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology, hence it got high FC.

Now with VVT, Getz 1.4 is really a worthy investment.

This car also comfortly climbing hill with full load, as I've tested with five persons and full luggages at rear bonnet during trips from KB to Penang via Grik-Jeli road, due to the high torque churned by the engine. Negotiating corners at 90km/h is also quite a breeze.

Engine Oil selected: Bardhal 5w30 Full Synthetic
Fuel Filter: Genuine Hyundai Oil Filter, sometimes using BOSCH Oil Filter.

If you're getting the Getz, try getting this:


It's the Getz SE which comes with the usual + some goodies at the same price..
Not sure whether they still have it though, saw it once selling @ IOI Mall, Puchong..

act pre face lift 1.3 getz yang consume more fc...,
current one wit 1.4 engine the fc is ok....

instead of buying new inokom getz 1.4..., why not u wait till the replacement model for getz release...

named hyundai i20...
shud b this year the car release.., but dunno when..

if u can find the se edition, get it! cos those rims are hot! and oh, another thing u should know is that the hyundai getz's spare tyre is a very small tyre, sort of like the kinda tyre that they use in the "kereta sorong semen" u know... and u have to pump it to 420kpa, which the pump could not manage cos they can only pump 400kpa maximum. and it's damn scary pumping the thing at such high pressure, afraid the tyre meletup. hehe. and my getz didnt have the fc measurement thing, maybe old model kot. since the new one have vvt and better fc, it'll be better than the already good car it is! so why not? and dont worry about space cos the thing feels like driving a sedan, but parking is still easy. spacious car, and kinda wide. cos i think it's easier to hug my gf in the car when im driving my saga. in the getz i have to reach out further. hehe. and i dont think it's worth waiting for the i20... just look at i10's ridiculous price tag...
a few more things i love and hate about the getz
pros:
-stereo has mp3
-it has rear wiper
-did i already mentioned that it was fun to drive? and the engine sounds like a sporty 2.0 coupe. totally different than my saga's 1.3 campro which sounds like a vacuum cleaner when u floor it.
-when the car is loaded with people, and gets heavier, it kinda feels sportier cos it got a bit lower, and the pickup is still there. different from a saga, just ride with 2 or 3 people and it feels like driving a school bus.
-dual airbags. pretty important if u love ur gf.

cons:
-seatbelt damn tight cos it's the type that gets tighter easily, and hard to get loose..
-wiper doesnt work well, but maybe cos never changed kot...
-and since my gf car is fully imported, the aircon is not very strong, and it still has the heater function, which is of course, useless... unless u go to genting very often.. hehe.
-the dashboard and other trimmings feel like cheap plastic
-i got overtaken by a makcik in a kelisa even though i floored the pedal when the light went green. dunno what kinda turbo that makcik use, or maybe the pickup slow, but i think the pickup is great.
-the boot a bit small, but hey, it's a hatchback. still can fit rm200 worth of groceries from tesco.
-but u can live with all these stuff. it's the kinda thing that makes u miss ur car when u sell it.

Inokom Getz Alpha 1.4L Engine does not come with CVVT. CVVT is only available on the newer 1.6L on the latest accent or 2.0L on the latest sonata/elantra/coupe

Not too sure when will Sime Darby bring in the i20. Even the i30 that was launched much earlier than i10 & i20 is not even available in Malaysia.

On fuel consumption, I get between 9.2L - 10.0L per 100KM as Im a heavy footer and often drive aggressively in both city + highway. RM50 gives me about 280KM, that is about 18sen per KM. For those who drive more sensibly will get better mileage. Fuel consumption aside, the Getz is a solid car and its fun to drive. Acceleration might be slower but with its rigid body, it is pretty stable at high speeds. Plus it comes with 5 year warranty.

Some complaints are the steering plastic texture is a bit dry and rough and those with long legs would need to adjust the seat much futher back to get the right distance. The Panasonic CD player is good as it accepts MP3 CD and Line in input but the speakers I find it so so only. However I do like the small like touches like built in mirrors on both sun shades, illuminated power window switches, teh tarik hook behind the passenger seat, dual 12V power outlets and the abundance of storage comparments.

The one I got is the full spec version with dual airbags, 4 disc brakes and ABS + EBD.

Danny, I believe the one you mention is Hyundai CBU Fully import version. The localised inokom has some extra goodies such as a more detailed meter with fuel consumption, distance to empty. Other extras also include adjustable height for driver seat and driver arm rest. Of course, CBU would be better built. The inokom one now is more localised. Even the glass and rear door struts are local parts and not from Korea.

the teh tarik hook helps a lot when u go to pasar malam. cos u cannot hang ur stuff at the door lock cos the door lock isnt the same as the ones u find in saga or kancil. but can only hang one stuff la...

Inokom Getz 1.4 does come with VVT.

What did you told is true for these new version of Accent/Sonata/Elantra/Coupe. CVVT stands for Continuous Variable Valve Timing.

Getz uses Variable Valve Timing.

source: http://kereta.info/hyundai-getz-specificat...eplaced-by-i20/

excerpt here:

There is a new 1.4 litre petrol engine with variable valve timing for enhanced performance and fuel efficiency, and a revised 1.1 litre four-cylinder petrol unit. The entry level engine produces 67 PS (66bhp) and remains exceptionally frugal, returning 51.4mpg in official Combined Cycle driving, while having been revised to meet Euro IV emissions standards. The intelligent four-speed automatic transmission has been developed specifically for the Getz.

There is always a misconception when it comes to variable valve timing for Hyundai engines. Their VVT engines are labeled as CVVT. The alpha engine used in the Malaysian Getz does not come with VVT at all. This is evident with Kah Bintang's 2008 Accent which the 1.4 is the same engine as the getz's 1.4. The 1.4 version does not come with CVVT however the 1.6 does.

Kah Bintang 1.4/1.6 CVVT specs & review: http://www.kahbintang.com/2008Accent/2008accentpower.html & http://paultan.org/archives/2008/01/23/200...al-and-16-auto/

I believe that website has quoted from a UK site which most likely facelifted with an actual revised 1.4L engine with CVVT which is also used in the new i20 & i30. But in Malaysia, we are still using the standard 1.4L alpha engine. If the Getz here has CVVT, I'm sure Sime Darby would be highlighting this on its brochures. Hope this clarifies.

i20 only 3 doors ?
The web site only show with 3 doors.

ya i wan to ask tis too.. izzit 3 door for i20 ???

Hi Jimmy,

Mine is not Special Edition which is offered right now as my rim is still standard. There are quite a number of offering from simedarby lately. Like I noticed that the white one has different interior trim colour on the handle and centre console.

I got mine in August 2008 and it was a 2007 stock. got it for RM55K OTR.

When I got mine, I was a bit unlucky but finally most of the issues are solved. The problems I faced were
a) Front windscreen was defective and there was a distorted wave that gives you a headache when driving. It was a local glass and I got them to replace to imported hyundai glass
b) No ABS light due to wrong meter installed on the car. (High spec should have the meter with ABS bulb installed)

If the car you are buying supposed to come with ABS, you have to make sure you have the right meter installed. I guess the factory guys in Kulim had been fitting the wrong meters.

Maintenance wise is quite ok. If you go for original, expect more expensive. 1 service for me is about RM160 if not mistaken. Parts shouldn't be an issue as it has been quite established in Malaysia. If you want cheaper, there's Hyundai MOBIS parts, which is actually from the same factory as Hyundai ori parts.

Resell value Hyundai/Kia are obviously lower. But I don't see this as a big factor as I never intend this as an investment. Cars are going to depreciate anyway and I don't intend to sell this within a short period of time.

i20 comes in 3 door and 5 door version. Same as getz. They even have a 1.2L Engine too

i heard the dealer say if i dun buy in tis sunday thn the interest will going up in tis monday..... so nevours now...... should i buy the car??? the dealer offer me RM 53000 without body kit , frog lamp n with inokom logo... expensive? any oppinion???

What year and which model are you getting? Interest rate not sure about that now but you could check with another dealer on the pricing and interest rate to compare the best deal.

Getz got a nice review from TOp Gear nway.

the year 2008 1.4L auto without bodykit,fod lamp , cost RM 53000
the interest is 2.4 until tis sunday.... can buy it? bebefit?

2.4 is very low! Very good deal indeed. Price is quite all right for 08 model. I assume this is standard model with 1 airbag without abs. If it is, try asking if they have higher spec with 2 airbag and abs.

I ask yesterday too .. The price can be 50k and 2.3% !
Is there anything else I need to reconsider because sounds unbelievable !
I check with my friend working in Bank as well, they said is true that the interest will increase !

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...9520&sec=nation

Looks like they are raising the interest rate for non-national cars from today onwards.

I have just make the booking ......... =)
cannot regret anymore ......

mine... (My wife's actually, I manage all the maintenance)
Getz 1.4 (A) 2008.

Still kicking..
reliable... and strong.
feel stable, quiet and comfy, not like empty myvi.
feel a bid slow and feel the body is heavy, rather than myvi.
stable in high speed.

but have to let go due to wife wanna buy a new ride.
Very2 dispointed to let go this baby..
so tough and reliable.
even mo pick up than swift, more specious that swift.

When did you let go?
For how much?
