Hyundai Getz (2002 - 2008 )  

Bright, roomy cabin. Rear seat folds to create a flat load floor. Peppy performance. Good provision of convenience and safety kit. Decent ride.

Wallowy handling on non-Sport models. Wipers don't clear screen properly. Brakes can be noisy.

Introduction

Latest Update 27-3-2012: Apparently, mass airflow meter of diese has a lining that produces static when air flows, but the lning material eventually wears away and a new MAF meter is required at £320. (From Ask.)

Introduction:

It's pretty enough. Quite well designed. Very well received. But I'd better put my cards on the table straight away, this is not my type of car.

Now I'm going to heap praise on it from the point of view of the sort of people I think it will appeal to.

Even though it lacks fashionable style, it is a good looking little car. It's well packaged too, with excellent space utilisation that crams a quart into a pint pot.
