   Hi,

   We seem to have the same color Getz:) Anyway, I am from Cebu and just got my 1.1 manual a couple days back. I was wondering if you hear any noisese in the engine when over-revving? My wife over-revs at the moment coz she is still getting used to it. But it kind of shocked me when I heard the somewhat harsh noise from the engine when she did over-rev. Have you ever experienced this?

   Thanks and nice little site you have here dedicated to the Getz:)

   Mark

   Hello Mark,

   I did mention that in my comment on fuel consumption. The noises were actually valve slap when you over-rev which can happen if you have a heavy right foot because the accelerator pedal is a bit too light. Any engine will scream or sound harsh when you over-rev, and especialy a 1.1 liter 4-cylinder job. Just be gentle and don’t lug the engine in high gear. A small displacement engine is meant to get up to higher revs before approaching the shift point in low gear, but do not overdo it. When in doubt, bring it over to your dealer and let the mechanic hear the noise.

   Hi Mark! I haven’t experienced too much engine noise just yet. In the noise department, comparing my Hyundai Getz to our previous vehicle, a diesel Toyota Revo,isn’t a fair comparison. That Revo was NOISY. But it was also a pretty stable workhorse that served us extremely well.

   Thanks for that technical reply, Vic. Much obliged.

   Hi, actually I’m about to buy Getz and I read in one article that 1.4L A/T (bec. fo DOHC engine) is more gasoline efficient than 1.1L. Is the 1.4L M/T also has a DOHC engine and is it efficient than 1.1L? I think the difference of P40k in price is not bad if it is more efficient and more powerful…

   Thanks for your opinion…

   Thanks!

6. admin February 26th, 2008 7:59 pm

   Hi Joel!

   The 1.4M/T is definitely more powerful and fuel-efficient than the 1.1. I think this is primarily because while the body chassis of both Getzes is the same size, th more powerful 1.4 engine would exert less effort – and gasoline – to carry the heavy chassis of the Getz. It’s a myth that bigger-engine cars automatically are less fuel-efficient than smaller engine cars. *ehem Chevy Spark ehem*

   I would definitely recommend getting the 1.4 M/T over the A/T if only for the two facts that automatic cars are more expensive to maintain – A/T transmission fluid is more expensive, among other things – and you can’t push an A/T if it dies on you for whatever reason and you’re in any mode other than Neutral when it dies.

7. Vic Fornier April 24th, 2008 4:19 pm

   I have a 1.1 GL and have been thinking of going one or two grades up to a 1.4 automatic or a 1.5 diesel. Do you does anyone out there have real world fuel consumption figures for a 1.4 manual and 1.4 automatic?

8. ganns June 13th, 2008 4:52 pm

   I have no idea, Vic. As we know, fuel consumption is dependent on a variety of factors, but I imagine the rule of thumb holds true that manual trannies are more efficient than automatic trannies.

   Lately, Gina’s been more fuel efficient, but I chalk that up to a better traffic situation and a lighter foot more than anything to do with the car itself.

9. lem June 29th, 2008 7:58 pm

   any thoughts or experiences with the 1.5 diesel version? looks very interesting…

10. jhunjun July 3rd, 2008 1:42 am

    i used to drive 1.1 GL getz when i worked with pepsi, as a service unit.. gas consumption is about 8-9 km. per liter. its not fuel effecient. thats just my opinion cuz i have it full tanked everytime i gas up and turn the odometer to zero and calculate km/l ratio..

11. jhunjun July 3rd, 2008 1:44 am

    but im planning to buy 1, maybe the 1.4L engine.

12. arney July 8th, 2008 2:02 am

    im now researching on both gets and vios (compairing the two) if the 1.1L engine of Gets consumes 1 liter for every 8-9 km… i’ll take this a negative image for gets… i now use a 1.8L Revo and have computed my mileage at 7.75km/liter… parang pareho na halos.

13. eric yapjuangco July 12th, 2008 10:45 pm

    Hi, im planning to get a Hyundai Getz CRDi, i was looking in the internet what size of aftermarket wheels will fit the getz. I plan to get 15 x 7 wheels with 195/50/15 tires. will that fit? and what offset for the wheels? I’ve been searching for hours in the net for the answers but can’t seem to find it. And one last thing, is the crdi more fuel efficient than the 1.1 getz? a friend of mine said the 1.1l getz does only 8-10 kms per liter.

14. Bryan July 15th, 2008 6:36 am

    I have a question, how did you guys install the rear plate number? wala ba talagang butas para sa screw? thanks!

15. admin July 15th, 2008 6:59 am

    Hi Bryan,

    Wala talagang butas. Weird, no? We had the folks at Hyundai E. Rodriguez drill holes into it.

16. Bryan July 18th, 2008 8:33 am

    hindi ba kakalawang? may nilagay ba sila na rust protection nung binutas nila? or paint? thanks!=)

17. admin July 18th, 2008 6:48 pm

    I checked it this morning. Wala.

18. Bryan July 23rd, 2008 9:24 am

    ok, hehe, parang hindi yata ok yun a hehe. by the way, i am looking for a third brake lamp for hyundai getz, yung original, or class A na OEM. do you know where i can get one? Thanks!

19. ganns July 23rd, 2008 2:45 pm

    I mean, walang kalawang.

    Regarding your brake light, I know there’s a provider on the Getz forum who sells it, but since the Getz forum is down right now, I don’t have that person’s contact info. Will smell around.

20. Bryan July 24th, 2008 6:37 am

    ok, thanks!=) by the way, nakakita ka na ba ng mirror cover na may built in signal lamp for getz? ito yung nakita ko http://www.maxdax.com/index.php?s=auto&p=hyundai_getz try mo puntahan itong link.=)

21. admin July 24th, 2008 7:19 am

    Woo! Ang daming maganda! *starts wishful thinking*

    Thanks for the link, Bryan! Ayos ang mga nanjan! Bibili ka ba?

22. Bryan July 25th, 2008 6:08 am

    hindi ko alam pano bumili dyan, baka mahal kasi import pa hehe, hahanap muna ako sa mga shops sa banawe =)

23. marlon July 26th, 2008 12:39 am

24. admin July 26th, 2008 1:32 am

    Bro, sa lagay na yan, matipid na ang Getz, believe me. Other cars on the market have similar FE capacity. Ok ka na dyan sa Sports Edition, ganda yan. Ipasmoke mo yung headlights para lalong astig!

25. marlon July 28th, 2008 6:47 pm

    paano nga pala gusto ko sanang sali sa getzclub,,,pero paanooooooo,,,tnx again

26. admin July 28th, 2008 9:23 pm

    Hi Marlon,

    Sali lang. Pero offline ang website nila, eh. Click lang doon sa banner ko sa right (yung may maraming Getz). Hopefully, it’ll be back online soon.

27. itweb July 29th, 2008 6:08 am

    Got a 2008 Hyundai Getz 1.4L A/T for 2 months now. FYI, the average fuel consumption is 14 kms to a liter for mixed driving (City and Provincial). it also averaged a high 21 kms/liter on purely provincial driving. I’d like to know the average fuel consumption of other Getz owners. Please share it here.

    thnks

28. Bryan July 31st, 2008 8:44 am

    fuel consumption of my getz 1.4a/t is around 8 to 10 km/l
    hehehe ewan ko kung bakit go it for a month=) ano fuel ang lagay mo? thanks!=)

29. ganns July 31st, 2008 3:02 pm

    Hi Bryan,

    8 to 10? For city driving? That’s just about right for a 1.4AT, IMHO.

    I usually use Petron XCS Unleaded. I experimented with the 95+ octane fuel because a friend said a smoother burn would result in more power and better fuel efficiency, but it didn’t justify the cost.

30. Bryan August 4th, 2008 7:15 am

    hello ganns,

    ganun pala yun. akala ko kung bakit malakas. hehe. kasi before my car is sentra 1.8 a/t. almost the same consumption. kaya parang nagsisi ako kung bakit ko pinalitan ng getz ehehe=) havent tried highway yet. kasi wala pa plate number. still waiting, sabi this week daw hehe. =) dealer is hyundai otis. any comments about the dealer guys? share nman=) thanks!=) God bless!=)

31. bong August 12th, 2008 3:55 pm

    hi guys new here in this site. I got my getz 2008 1.4 A/T last May. Maganda ang takbo but i think sa fuel consumption malakas 9-10Km/L. Maybe because of the increase in fuel price…. kaya medyo mabigat sa kin hehe. Parang sisi nga ako sana kia picanto 1.1 A/T nalang kinuha ko… after all im after the fuel consumption …. mas tipid ba kaya picanto than getz? Any comment from you guys?? tnx

32. Ganns August 12th, 2008 6:25 pm

    Hi Bong, thanks for passing by.

    I think many online discussions have eventually determined that the Picanto and the Getz of the same engine type are pretty much equal when it comes to fuel consumption. The Picanto may have the slightest of edges because it has a lighter chassis, but if you factor in traffic conditions and driving style, it will come out equal in favor of either car.

    If you drive in Manila rush hour traffic through clogged city roads, you can really expect lower fuel consumption, regardless of whether or not you’re driving a Getz or a Picanto.

    Factor in the fact that you have bigger storage space in the boot, more power features, and a greater customizable space in which to play, you’re still better off with your Getz.
    Thanks for passing by!

33. mikai September 1st, 2008 8:19 pm

    my dad and i are planning to buy a car and i heard that getz really offers the best option when it comes to fuel consumption savings. however, somebody told me na mas matipid daw ung suzuki alto because of the “3 cylinder thing”. Both my dad and i are clueless about cars so I hope somebody here can give me a fair comparison between getz and alto (considering all aspects like mileage, price, etc.) mas mura ung alto but in the long run, san ba kami mas makakamura pagdating sa fuel consumption. thanks a lot!

34. Erwin September 11th, 2008 11:16 pm

    I just got a new Getz two week ago. A day after delivery tiningnan ko ilalim ng car, to my surprice, rusty na!!! then I reported to the agent, kinuha lang nila sa bahay then sent the car for repair for two days. I demand a change car but di pumayag kasi daw nadeliver na sa amin. Unfair naman yata yon, the car didn’t go thru proper QC, then we, the customer are the one suffer. Can any one advise me what the next step? already reported to the main office in Makati but until now no answer.

35. admin September 16th, 2008 3:15 pm

    That is absolutely terrible, Erwin.

    What I’d recommend is your reporting it to some consumer bureau like that fellow Palanca (Palabrica?) at the Inquirer. Sometimes, when you don’t get a response, the best thing to get people’s butts moving is to go to the media.

36. bogs acuña September 26th, 2008 7:49 pm

    Hi! My dad’s getting me a car for my 18th birthday. I think he’s gonna buy me a car by november and december. And we considered Getz as our 1st option. I just wanted to know if the driver seat can be elevated? Does it have a lever? I’m quite small kasi. And also, what are the prices available for the 1.1 M/T i10? Thanks! I hope to hear from you soon!

    Bogs

37. admin September 27th, 2008 2:02 pm

    Congratulations, Bog! A Getz is really a great choice for a first car. I’d enumerate the reasons, but I don’t have the time…

    The driver seat of the Getz doesn’t elevate. (Neither do any of the seats of its competition.) Its steering wheel, however, can be lowered, so your view of the road will never be blocked by the steering wheel.

    One of my aunties who is particularly short just plops a couple of throw pillows onto the chair of her Avanza. That’s one suggestion.

    I don’t know the prices of the 1.1MT i10. I haven’t heard very favorable reviews of the i10 yet, and its storage space isn’t very large compared to the Getz. It’s much higher, though, which is a completely useless option to someone like you. Go for the Getz anyway!

    Hope I was able to help. Just email or write in if you have any other Getz-related questions. God superbless!

38. migs September 27th, 2008 4:28 pm

    hi im planning to get a getz soon.. where can i still get a 1.4 AT silver, or sky blue? i’ve asked 2 dealers already, and they say ubos na daw, and most probably they won’t be selling anymore coz their focus now is already on the i10 and they are already preparing for the release of the i20 sometime last quarter of the year.

    kindly post ur agents contact numbers… thanks!

39. admin October 5th, 2008 2:33 am

    Hi Migs,

    I emailed you na.

40. Jv October 17th, 2008 1:26 pm

    got my getz crdi last july.

    it runs 13-14kms/liter city driving and i already managed to bring it to baguio (from metro manila) running 24kms/liter (600kms total, more than half remaining at the gauge for the visually impared)

    sulit talaga

    though i ran through rough roads with pointy rocks to avoid accident, broke my oil pan so may continuous drip ako ng oil so i keep on topping it up every morning. still waiting for parts from the plant.

    tires that came with the car is like made of paper, buy new tires agad.

41. lynn October 24th, 2008 7:18 am

    hi! nice to found this site..i have a 2006 1.4L AT Getz, and its my first time na mgkaroon ng car,,hindi ko alam kung panu alagaan yung car lalo na Automatic sya,, gift kc sakin ng mom ko, gsto ko sana manual pero AT ang bngay, no choice kundi gamitin… Panu ba mgmaintain ng automatic Getz? tnx…

42. lynn October 24th, 2008 7:20 am

    actually second hand na yung 1.4L AT ko, nkaka 12T km na.. wala ako idea about sa maintenance nya… help nmn hehehe tnx

43. admin October 25th, 2008 3:56 pm

    Hi JV! Thanks for swinging by Life With Gina! You’ve got great mileage going for your Getz, congratulations!

    I’m very happy with the tires I’ve gotten so far, though. Try calling Hyundai Global, maybe they can get you that oil pan faster.

44. admin October 25th, 2008 4:14 pm

    Hi Lynn! Thanks for swinging by Life With Gina!

    Sa totoo lang, dalhin mo lang sa casa every 5K, sila na ang bahala sa iyo. Driving an A/T has its benefits: it’s easier to drive in traffic, and in Manila, you get that a lot. No problem sa hanging; easier to drive through highways… it’s a great deal. 1.4 pa! Sulit yan.

    The way I see it, the only real difference between the A/T and the M/T is the additional cost of A/T fluid and the maintenance of A/T transmission. So it’s a little more expensive. It’s a small price to pay for the convenience.

    Just bring it to Hyundai every 5K for a regular checkup, you’ll be fine, I promise.

45. danny November 5th, 2008 7:17 am

    any idea on the prie of i20?

46. Ms. Cecil Aguilar November 13th, 2008 2:32 am

    Hi!

    Kindly send me the latest price list of Hyundai getz and terms of payment.
    Hoping for your immediate response.
    Thanks!

47. Ms. Cecil November 13th, 2008 2:33 am

    in addition the hyundai accent too.
    thanks!

48. admin November 17th, 2008 7:15 am

    Hi Ms Cecil,

    I don’t sell Hyundai cars. Please contact any of the folks mentioned in my post.

49. Jumel December 3rd, 2008 10:35 pm

    Hello, i wonder if you can help me find a dealer of Hyundai getz. I’m from baguio city, i want is the hyundai registered branch near by my location or here at baguio. Hope you can mail me asap, i’m eager to have one 1.4 manual unit by this december… thamks

50. Chris December 16th, 2008 8:53 pm

    Hi Ganns,

    I’m an owner of a white 2006 Getz GL – named it Morgan. It’s now about 40K in km-run:) My PMS is also with Hyundai BGC (thru Jay Dorias-great guy). I use Morgan almost everyday from San Pedro, Laguna to Makati(passing through SLEX and the Skyway).

    I’d like to check if you have experienced squeaky sounds underneath (probably suspension) in Gina? I’m a bit concerned Morgan needs suspension adjustments – or worse, overhaul!

    Also, I’m confused about Morgan’s specs – in the LTO registration papers it’s 1.3 GL (also confirmed by Jay based on the liters of oil changed during PMS). I couldn’t find any 1.3 GL getz though in a Hyundai Getz website (there’s no 1.3 GL also in your list in this website).

    Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

    -Chris

51. admin December 17th, 2008 6:20 am

    Hi Chris,

    So far, I haven’t experienced any squeaks underneath, but then again, I have problems of my own, since it’s been two months since my accident, and Gina’s bumper is still dented. *grumble grumble* Perhaps you can ask Jay to have the guys at HGC to take a look the next time you see him. I hope nothing’s wrong; poor Morgan!

    Regarding Morgan’s specs, I sniffed around and apparently, Hyundai distributed 1.3 GL Getzes in 2005, but discontinued it in ’06. That would explain why there’s little information on it as they gave way to 1.4 Getzes. There are several ’05 1.3 Getzes in the metro, though.

    Thanks for swinging by Life With Gina!

52. manny guevara April 7th, 2009 2:31 am

    hi guys: ),

    i just got me an ’06 getz and boy!!! am i totaly pleased not with the FC though, i travel daily @ 60/40 conditions (60hway/40city) and so far in the 3 weeks i’ve been handling her i can only make 11.4kms. to a liter tell me po guys is this ok with you

53. Pract May 22nd, 2009 12:08 pm

    Hi,

    Nakuuu worst ang fuel consumption nang hyundai getz 1.1, daming negative feedbacks dyan kasi korean ehh bad tlga pag korean cars maganda pa japanese brands kasi subok na ang engine nang mga yan

    Hi Pract, thank you for your comment, as ill-informed, closed-minded, and short-term as it is.

54. xquisite July 13th, 2009 4:21 pm

    Hello everyone!

    Please help me to choose i10 or Getz in terms of FE and payment terms. thanks.

    Xquisite: there’s no question. Getz a Getz. It’s roomier, more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and a heckuva lot nicer on the eyes.

55. David R. Whittall July 25th, 2009 1:06 am

    5 years ago I bought the Hyundai Matrix 1.5CRDi VGT.

    The VGT but stands for Variable Geometry Turbo. This translates to minimal Turbo Lag and lots of Boost.

    The Power figures testify to that, 110ps and good bit of Torque.

    With 4 passengers and the aircon on, a climb over the mountain in Negros, and 120kmph where the road allowed, we still managed 900 Km on 50 liter of fuel!

    Now this same delightful 1.5 CRDi VGT engine, is available in the GETZ. With it’s lower overall weight, this should prove to be more of a speed demon and givinging even better fuel consumption.

    Anyone’s experiences, bear this out?

    Must take a test drive in one?

    I’ve always admired the power of a Matrix! I’m not a fan of how it looks – the windshield’s rather odd curves don’t appeal to me – but car magazines and Matrix owners attest to the quality of this car!

    I too am curious to how the Matrix engine will perform in the Getz. Will we see better performance and better reviews? Only time will tell!

    Thanks for commenting, David! Much appreciated.

56. Chris August 3rd, 2009 11:09 pm

    my brother just got his getz 1.1. cool color hip-hop red. rode on it and yup…it was very roomy despite its seemingly compact structure. true to it-never judge a car by its size! by far, getz got my attention and is way better than its competitors.

57. Cris August 5th, 2009 4:08 pm

    my brother got a new getz 1.1. Its color (hip-hop) red is really cool to the eyes and has a youthful air so to speak. I rode tested it and wooah-it has power given its 1.1 engine. Tried the back seat and my 5’10″ frame didn’t feel uncomfy.

    this getz sure gave its competitors a damn good scare, for sure! congrats to my brother and his fellow getz owners!

58. mimi August 7th, 2009 12:23 am

    You’ve mentioned you recieved some not so favorable review regarding i10, can you please share it with us? I’m choosing between getz 1.0 MT and i10 1.2 MT.

59. Shaira August 8th, 2009 10:14 pm

    hi…I just want to inquire…how can i avail thru financing your hyundai getz…I want to have one…is possible? how?

    Please approach any Hyundai dealer, Shaira; I’m not a retailer.

60. Beh August 10th, 2009 2:59 am

    Bakit ganun it says here on this forum that the feul consumption is only 11km/litter but when i went to one of the dealers in Macapagal Ave. They said that the feul consumption is 18km/lt. Those who own a getz could you tell me which is which? thanx

    Believe me, Beh, it’s closer to 11. The 18 km/L figure is not a city driving result; it’s a best case scenario.

61. manny guevara August 13th, 2009 8:35 pm

    Hi Sir Gans,
    Jst aminor clarifctn, is the lubricant/oil capacity really 2.15L? Thanks. Manny

    I have no idea, bro! I’ll ask the folks at Hyundai Global City and get back to you.

62. chev August 19th, 2009 9:13 am

    ei first timer here,bibili kc company namin ng getz for the sale sales personel,and nabasa ko sa adventures ni wally na during the brake in period ,11.3 to 13 km/l ata un FC nya….but nung last post nya going to tagaytay ang back nag 25 km/l sya but naka baba ang windows.no aircon tas i think 75 – 80 km/h lang takbo nya sa slex.anyone po here na pd mag share ng FC nila regular usage ng 1.1 at sana po pati ung mga speed maniac dyan share nyo po FC nyo tnx…ano po max speed ng 1.1 getz?kaya po ba nito 140km/hr? gaya nung nasa youtube?tna po ulit

    Hi Chev!

    Based on what I’ve read and my own personal experience, you’re going to get an average city driving FC of anywhere between 10-15 km/L, depending on your own driving style. Highway driving is really going to give you a higher km/L ratio because there’s less start-stop and you’re driving at a more or less consistent speed, which makes for a more efficient FC ratio. Mas realistic talaga ang 10-15 km/L. (In fairness, yung Innova ng boss ko gets 8 km/L; yung Strada ng officemate ko, a horrifying 6 km/L. So we’ll take our victories where we can get them, diba?)

    To answer your second question, I once drove to Zambales with my family in a convoy of pastors. LOL Yan ang mga speed demon, ‘tol! I had to drive at 150 km/L to keep up. That was my fastest on my Getz. (To think na apat kami sa kotse, punung-puno pa ng mga bagahe.) You can go faster, syempre, pero parang feeling ko, sasabog na yung carburetor through the hood. LOL

    Hi -

    I am getting my Getz 1.1 M/T (hiphop red) next week. This is going to be the first car that I am buying from my hard pocket..Hehe Can anyone give me advise on what to check during the delivery? I’m now living alone, and is totally clueless about cars in general.

    Thanks in advance.

    Don’t worry, there’s a checklist that’s provided when you claim your car. Please be sure to double-check that your odometer and speedometer are connected to their power sources (I had an issue with that when I claimed my car, you can read about it in my archives).

    I’d also recommend that you buy a real spare tire. Many Getz owners have complained about the “donut” that is given to them as a spare tire. Rather than complain, just buy a regular-sized spare tire and dump the donut to spare yourself the trouble.

    Feel free to email me or check out the blog if you’ve any other questions.

64. sharon August 24th, 2009 11:26 pm

    Hi,

    Nice blog for people looking for Getz reviews! We’re thinking of getting a getz 1.1 M/T. What’s the coverage of the 5 year warranty? Is it parts and service? The agent said even the parts are included but I may have heard wrong…

    How many people are usually riding your car to get the 10-15km/l fuel consumption?

    Hi Sharon,

    Best thing to do regarding the five-year coverage would be to confirm it with your agent. When I bought my Hyundai Getz, that promo wasn’t ongoing, boooo. >:(

    On average, my wife, my son, my daughter, and two yayas ride with us on the weekends; on weekdays, it’s usually just my wife and me. I’m heavier than average, but the rest of the family’s average.

    Hi! My sis owns a getz 2005 model. Her computer box got wet during the last typhoon (i know! too bad for her). As if that’s not yet the bad news, the Hyundai service center informed her that a replacement unit will cost her a whooping 36k bucks. Do you know where we can find a more affordable unit? A pre-owned one perhaps?

    PS: There’s already a long thread in your forum and I can’t check one by one if this has been asked already. Thanks much in advance for answering.

    Thanks mucho!

    Hi Shey!

    I feel terribly for your sister. I’m afraid though that I would recommend she cough up the money to replace the computer box for the following reasons:

    1) The PHP36,000 tag is actually cheap. I called Hyundai Global City and their computer box estimate was Php56,000.00.
    2) No Getz would function efficiently with a computer box, so the only way you can get a pre-owned computer box would be if it were fake, damaged, or if the Getz from which it came was “chop-chop.” Either way, it would be dangerous and whatever money you may have saved from the purchase may be spent if anything happened because you bought an inferior product. I really wouldn’t go about buying a second-hand box.

    The way I feel about purchasing car parts is this: I invest in the best (i.e., original and brand-new) because my family’s safety and comfort are worth it. I hope this somehow comforts your sister.

    God superbless and thanks for writing in.

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering what would be the largest set of tires that could be fitted on hyundai getz 1.1 without compromising engine power and efficiency?

    Hi Ganns,

    Will be buying myself a car for xmas, I have driven the tiny celerio but dissatisfied of is power and “Small” side mirrors. Based on your review, im really getting the getz. Can you recommend any dealer whom I could get the best deal and do a test drive? I live in Taguig.

    Many Thanks,

    Gab

    Yes, I’ve heard the Celerio isn’t very good. Try the dealer at E. Rodriguez, Manila Bay, or Fort.

    hi!

    No rust on mine. I think she’s rust-proofed when you buy her. Is your Getz rusting??

    Hi Ganns,

    Nice site, nice advice.

    Your site was a major factor in my getting a Getz (1.1 Epsilon) . Am pretty happy with it so far in my 1 month of ownership.

    One of the things that made me hesitate before was that for such a small car, fuel consumption was quite high as reported by some owners. Well, I’m happy to say that in my first month of ownership I average around 12-14 km/liter mixed city-country driving (Ortigas-Montalban)

    It feels ridiculous sometimes when i need power and stamp on the gas pedal and it ‘hesitates’ for quite while. But since I’m 5’10″ and 230 lbs, I really don’t think its the car’s fault.

    One thing I love about it: chuck it around a corner at speed…hehe..fun!

    -James

    Hi James! Thank you for your kind words! Made my day.

    To get 14 km/L is a pretty great thing! Lately, I’ve been averaging a little over 10 km/L. I’m not too happy with that, but Christmas is around the corner and we know what kind of traffic that generates. Ugh. Like I’ve said before, weight matters, so for you to get close to 14 km/L on the frame you’re carrying (I’m 5″7 and about 214 lbs), that’s terrific!

    And yeah, she’s zippy around corners, isn’t she? LOL I love how we can sneak in and out of traffic!

    Thanks to this site, I can share my insights. I just bought my Getz Nov 2009. My son called it “Witty car”. I didn’t know how to drive and I felt sorry for my Getz during my driving sessions..Being a first time driver, I don’t know how to take care my car (engine check,oil,water,etc)pls help me out.

    I really love driving this car,easy to manuever,magaan kaso lng malambot ang clutch pero malalim.minsan mamatay ang engine sa daan. i have to feel na umarangkada na xa.mybe, i’m not that good driver (it explains why). but after all, superb ganda ang Getz.I don’t have any regrets of owning one.

    Congrats, Dev! It’s an awesome car, and I hope you have many great years with it.

    When I transferred from my Revo to my Getz, nanibago din ako sa clutch at sa gearstick. Masasanay ka rin. Daan ka lang dito pag may tanong ka.

    Hi you mentioned that you are using 1.1 Hyundai getz with rear washer and wiper and tailgate lifter. Im looking at 1.1 pictures now from another site, it shows nothing on the rear side. Im buying a second hand getz (2007) and it doesn’t have any of those you mentioned…or am i just blind..hehehe.

    You’re right, Rollie. I’m wrong. I must’ve copied the information incorrectly. Sorry!

    Hi. I just sold my kia pride cd5 for over a long months, it just gave me a headache. I was long planning to buy a hyundai getz. And after reading all the comments and suggestions here in the forum, it helps and compels me more to love and buy a hyundai getz. However, with my job as only a police officer one, my biggest problem is, the lowest monthly amortization rate of five years does not suffice my monthly salary to have one.. poor me.. anyone has any suggestion how can I have one? I really want to have my own getz.. can I loan it from a bank? thanks

    Hi Rictor! I would recommend you take a look at repossessed cars from the banks. You’ll find one there that the bank will allow you to take out a loan for.
