I live in Melbourne and have a 2 door 1.6 2004 Getz as a daily run a round and shopper with the occasional long drive. It's our second car and the Getz's reliably is staggering. Five light bults/annual service and a single battery renewal. Perfect city car! I wish Hyundai still built them.
Hello :) it’s amazing how many people from Australia have them. My friend who lives here, had one when in Perth. Both his parents have one each too :) great little cars. I hope I can film more super minis soon :) thank you :)
@@mattsbeamer Thanks for your reply. Apart from the Kia Picanto there are zero new micro City Cars on the Australian market apart from the expensive Fiat 500 & they stopped selling the Mitsubishi Mirage this year. I think one reason is packing all the required technology for a 5 star RATING in a tiny car mean pay astronomic prices.
SO! My opinion on my little Hyundai Getz, I've named her Hen. 1) the demisting of the side windows is incredibly helpful, as I find the car does tend to fog up. 2) there is SO much storage!! Seriously, room for everything I could need and more! 3) driving wise, she doesn't accelerate great up hills and tends to stick at whatever speed we entered the incline at. 4) mine didn't come with air conditioning, or the heated seats feature unfortunately, but the sunroof is very enjoyable and leaves the car bright and airy. 5) I find mine incredibly hard to reverse. I find it stalls ridiculously easily, but that very likely could just be me getting used to the engine as the car I drove before was much more powerful. 6) It is EASY (and I mean E A S Y) to parallel park and squeeze into tight spaces with. 7) she is easy on the petrol, a full tank tends to do me just over a week, and that's 2 hours driving per day as well as to and from work at the weekends. I love it, Hyundai Getz, for the win! ☺️
Had my 2005 Getz 1.3 12v for about 18 months. Bought it with 103.000km, about 113.000km now. Hasn't cost me alot, only had to change dust shields and brakelines before MOT, which isn't bad at all. Never let me down, pretty good, for the 2nd cheapest Hyundai model of the time.
@@mattsbeamer had it for a little over a year, with 219.000km Haven't been a money pit, only just lately gave it a service. At the momemt, it needs a new stabilizer and rear muffler, but that's normal maintenance. But in that year, only 1 visit to the mechanic, to get the A/C refilled.
Mi parents have a 1.6L since 2008, and the car still feels new after more than 130.000 km. Very reliable and comfortable to drive. I learned to drive with it, and its the best thing. With the 1.6 option has very good and responsive power, more than capable.
I have a 2008, I bought it new, I still have it to this day, only to refuel and drive the car is very reliable and has not seen a garage, thank God. I drove it everywhere, the car is a workhorse.
Really good well filmed and detailed vidio ,I enjoyed it ,nice little car, love the shade of red . Made me chuckle when you said about the light fingered people nearby hahaha . I was looking for them as the camera pulled away . I did know what you mean though . Have a great day ,great job 👌
Haha. I wasn’t happy, it was a non Russian who took my tripod. He was scared of me when I challenged him. Lol. I’m glad you like the video. I miss filming different types of cars lol
@@mattsbeamer there is a Lamborghini park in the property behind us , not sure what kind it is ,it looks different to what I expected ,has a dull purple paintwork
Nice video, thanks for that. Having watched a plenty of videos on the Getz and having read mainly positive comments about it, I really consider getting one myself. I just hope to find one in good condition from a trustworthy seller.
I have an australian 1.4L 3 door and i the second ownerand when i bought it, the car had done 144,000km. My only complaint is being 6'2 my knee rubs up against the inside door handle and the headlights are not very bright at all. But rhe fuel economy is very good
Had one with the digital fuel range and live mpg on the odometer screen. Brilliant car and economical for a 1.4 2000’s car (38mph around town, 47mpg on motorways). ULEZ compliant and all the bells and whistles you need. Air con, electric windows and mirrors, good space in both front and rear and practically turns into a minivan when the back seats are in the footwell. Recommend for a first car all day long.
I'll have my driving exam next week and when i get my license i'll be driving my moms 2004 1.6 getz. We took it out in a parking lot yesterday so i could already get a bit used to the car. Of course it's not as comfortable to drive as the modern car i learnt to drive in and the steering feels alot heavier, it is so much fun to drive. Really a bargain.
Thank you, Jay! It’s a car that Russell has a big heart for, as both of his parents had matching cars :) This car is very clean for Moscow and price range :)
@@mattsbeamer Car in Moscow, no matter how nice, it's a bit of a time waster with all the jams. We got rid of our car when we moved to our current place. With the congestion charge and traffic - forget about it. Our underground parking space is housing my folding cycle which I hardly use. For diving we rent a car for the days needed. Usually something big to haul all the equipment and sometimes we tow the rib from its mooring place.
I have a cheapest TB version with 1.5 CRDI engine and manual transmission. I have it over 14 years, but it's 18 years old. The only disadvantages are high fuel consumption (on the other hand, I treat my Getz as a racing car, so...), on average about 7.5l/100km, but since I started using fuel conditioners, the fuel consumption has dropped to 6.9l/100km. Thanks to that chemical magic, the performance also improved - according to Hyundai, this version of the Getz has a maximum speed of ~170kmph, my record is 193kmph (that's what the navigation and police speed camera showed, but thanks to the factory data I didn't pay a fine ;P). Acceleration is less than 10 seconds to 100kmph. And here's Getz's second problem, because it desperately lacks sixth gear. I think that if this gear was there, the car would easily reach 200kmph. During these 18 years, I have only replaced (apart from the oil, filters, coolant and windshield wipers blades) brake pads, rear shock absorbers, rubber bumpers in the suspension and the steering gear/rack (from what I have read on Getz Polish users forum, this is the most frequently broken major part in Getz). Oh, I forgot to mention rust - my Getz had a manufacturing defect and from the very beginning its trunk lid was rusting, just under the window seal (the previous owner did not buy a warranty for the body, so Hyundai did not want to remove this defect at its own expense). Moreover, after 15 years I had to remove rust from the sills, wheel arches and lower edges of the doors, but with the amount of salt that Polish road workers pour on the roads every winter, it is absolutely normal that rust appeared.
What is the brake control system? Is there a heat bulb? How many types of machine power engines are there 1.4, 1.5, etc which one is the best? Which one is the best model year How many safe air cushions? How much petrol does it consume every hundred kilometers?
I have two 1.4 petrol is at 247.000km and 1.5 diesel is at 307.000km. Oil was changed every 10.000km in both....thats it and brake pads but not much else.
Hi, tommorow I get my own Getz 1.4 automatic gear 2007 with 55tkm ....my question is : this automatic gear on the Getz need oil change if yes cann you tell me how or when? I want to keep it long time alive. Thank you for the video and experience's with the Getz. ❤
@@bogdanbogdan7896 its a good idea to change it as soon ans you get the car - you dont know exactly when last owner changed it....then i think its 80.000km. cam belt is 90.000km or 10 years if i remember correctly, ask if the owner changed the belt and when as its the most expensive job to do.
@@mattsbeamer very similar seating possession as the Getz ..people rav on about short throw gear s but I like to know I’m in gear just like my Getz. The tern in in.

Hi Matt i have exatley like this 2005 red automatic 1.4 the car was in perfect condition but lately when it pass 60 m/h the car it dosent have too much power it used to go very smooth with the gears and everything sometime works fine sometime it feels to the gas pedal the the cat isnt going very smooth i the gears change very well but drives like is it very blocked please i want your opionion or if someone had the same problem
Hey, this comment was held for review, for some reason. Do you mean the car has started to loose the power it had in the past, when doing over 60mph? (like it's restricted)?
Hello Max. I wouldn’t say it’s powerful, but it is very nippy around town. I was quite impressed. If you want it to be extra nippy it’s best to buy the bigger 1.6 and a manual :) cheers
I think this is a great choice and would be the transmission I would go for. Just make sure that the one you buy, wasn’t used for delivery pizzas etc. That is what they are very popular for here. This car in the video is owned by a lady, who has had the car for many years. I would actually buy it off her, if she came to sell it. Keep me updated :) good luck with your choice :)
Check the coolant level, cooling pipes and radiator system for leaks, blockages etc. also check the water pump. If you see any cream in the system, then there maybe a chance there is a head gasket. Good luck
Funny cars some are like new and some are totally rusted through....1.4 and 1.5crdy are very reliable engines. Also more rare matrix is avaliable...getz were usually owned by older people and id say in good condition today unless rust got them.
I used to see a matrix near where I lived. My friend who bought the mk2 focus estate (on my channel) was looking to buy one. The lady who owns this red Getz, is a bit more mature than me, and she doesn’t mind throwing money at it. It certainly stands out compared to the others here, owned by the much younger people. They have rust holes so big, you don’t need a door. Lol.
I was surprised with how good it is. It is ideal for many reasons. If I ever get to having my dream, buying and selling cars, then I would definitely be buying a few of these :)
