Hey,
I stumbled across this page whilst googling car seat covers for my getz.
Im in Sydney Australia, 17 and just got my first car, a getz. I havent named him yet though.
This Page is heaps cool. I love it.
One thing I wondered though with my getz.. Its a late 2006 model TB MY06, but I dont have the conrols on my steering wheel like many others Ive seen.
Other then that. I love my car Great Page.
Hello, Franchezka! There is a wealth of online resources that compares all the cars you’ve mentioned. I’m not exactly sure what descriptions you’re looking for. Please email me and I’ll try to send you the relevant information you need.
Hullo, Damien! Thank you for your kind words on my website, mate! Congratulations on your spankin’ new car; she’ll serve you well! (Is it a hit with the ladies? My woman chose this car, so I know I’m in good hands, hahaha.)
Gina doesn’t have controls on her steering wheel either. Maybe it’s an Aussie thing.
Keep in touch!

Hi Ganns,
Im planning to buy a getz 1.4 AT and a bit concerned about the true fuel consumption of this car.
I have read different results from different owners,,can you give some light on this?
Is the 1.5 diesel version much better when it comes to fuel economy?
First off, I answered a different fellow’s question and sent it to you by mistake. Hahaha. Sorry about that.
Here’s the truth as far as I know it. Don’t expect the Getz to be as fuel efficient as Hyundai trumpets it to be. I believe the reason for it to be the heavier body of the Getz tends to make the 1.1 engine work a little harder than, say, the Kia Picanto, which has a lighter body (and a whole lot less too, hahaha), or the Suzuki Alto. Factor in the weight of the driver (I’m stockier than most Pinoys), the number of other passengers in the car, miscellaneous car weight, and other factors like tire pressure, wind drag (weather), and road quality. On average, Getz Club members say they get anywhere between 10 to 15 kms/liter. I personally register around 12-13km for city driving and around 17-18 for out-of-town sorties.
The 1.4AT will definitely be more fuel efficient than my 1.1, thanks to its DOHC engine. Computer-driven fuel injection is a beautiful thing. Even better than that is the 1.5 diesel variant, whose CRDI engine will save you fuel AND money because diesel is cheaper than gasoline. I’d recommend the 1.5 diesel above the other two, honestly.
oh my gosh! this is a pretty site. i have never yet met anyone who is actually in love with her pretty car like you…hehehe anyway, i was looking for a hyundai site to link to my blog, and so i linked yours.
by the way, i have a question. we got our yellow hyundai getz car named bumblebee as a second. it only had 16,000 kms on it when we bought it at p280k. it was still in pretty good condition last december 2007 and still is. she was 2.5 years old when we got her.
anyway, i just want to know if the consumption of 8 kms per liter in the city and 12 kms:1 ltr in highway driving its real consumption? so many people are telling us that it is a guzzler. i am sad, i don’t want anything bad spoken against my bumblebee. anyway, what do you think? what’s gina’s consumption?
i have a 1.4at getz and consuming about 10 to 12 but I always drive it hard wherever it goes .It gets very efficient above 80km and that will be the point that you tap the gas light and will still give a surge of power. My nephew has 1.6 lynx but was surprise when my getz swallowed three huge suitcases easily. It also become my utility car when my house was under construction so it was loaded with four bags of cement three huge cans of paint . two 16 foot pvc pice and one plastic roofing. These by far outweights the mileage

Hi, this website’s cool and i’ve learned a lot about the Hyundai Getz. Actually, this site convinced me to purchase one. My wife and I bought our getz second hand from her officemate whose going out of the country. It’s about a year old and looks and feels like brand new. And re it’s fuel consumption, our Php 1000.00 worth of premium gas is good for 5 days. That’s from Las Piñas to Makati and back, with heavy traffic of makati and EDSA. Our full tank usually lasts us about 12 days. I’m pretty glad we have a GETZ!
