Hyundai Getz Prime [2007-2010] User Reviews

At 6.6 lacs on road in Bangalore this becomes overpriced. Especially when following things are missing at 6.6 lacs:

1. Rear Wash Wiper

2. Alloy Wheels

3. Tubeless Tyres

4. Front Fog Lights

5. Radio/Player

Definitely performance would be good. However a diesel hatch back is preferred along with VFM. I guess a compromise with a smaller CRDI engine for availing these (now missing) facilities would have been preferable.

I bought it on 22 Oct 07, today on 24 Jan 08 I have clocked 11000+ Kms.

While purchasing I considered 1. Boot Space, 2. Elegant Design, Power, Wheelbase

I am getting 16.5-17kmpl, I drive more highway, less city avg speed 80-90 km.

I like its looks, space, comfort power, Gear Shift, silent cabin, you have to tell that its a diesel

Backrest of rear seat has 3 level this gives more boot space

-----------------------------------------------------------

I feel the braking could have been better.

If you hit a pot hole the disc bends a bit, it happened twice to me, I think the the car/engine is heavier for strenght of the disc.

Headlights should be brighter.

Exterior Bit of an Indica look But with an good turning radius looks are also exceptional especially the under engine wiring are very good insulated than that of SWIFT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are very much average as it doesnot have bluetooth support, but yeah wat an class interior front panel it has...the plastic quality is good, A/c average cooling, Comfort guaranteed for an average 6 foot & above person both in driving & rest seating space. 5 person comfortably sits in it. seat quality is excellent not experienced any sort of backaches on travelling long routes. Overall Good Impressive Interior & build quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well wat to say for Hyundais 1500cc diesel CRDI engine I've...very responsive, excellent built up quality, low engine sound, comfortable to drive both on highways & city roads, best pickup-the car picks up the acceleration very quick enough...,Gearbox is sweet & very smooth compared to INDICA VISTA, SWIFT & ETIOS LIVA., Well I've driving my getz for last 3yrs & covered 51000kms & u'll be shocked to know despite of not so good mileage on petrol version. this CRDI diesel version gives me around 20km/litre, rmember despite of 1500cc engine I'm getting this average as can u believe an 1500cc engine on an hatchback & still gives an 19 of average. just love it.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good as suspension are heavy & good built, Gives smooth rides on damp roads, a very impressive ride quality. Handling is very smooth as compared to INDICA's Car responds well to slow down speed from even on 150 to 160...The best known fact is that car doesnt bulges or vibrates & doesnt create engine noise even on speed of 175 to 180. A fantastic to drive on GHAT ROADS as you can experience the pickup of the car on the ghat roads clearly stunning performance.

Final Words Still I couldnot why HYUNDAI discontinued this car despite they should have cut the price instead. But still an best fuel economy car with an excellent pickup in its class, maintanance wise ok not so higher in maintanance, a vey rugged 1500cc engine, very good performance & built up qualty on indian roads, most spacious compact hatchbacks, good ground clearance, interior quality excelent, wirings & engine quality after services very good. Just go for this car.

Areas of improvement I think Hyundai should look out for their service centers to improve their services.

So much is spoken about the GETZ crdi for being overpriced . Though a bit more expensive than its nearest rival, the Swift, you get a more powerful engine, and loads of space and an airy beige cabin.

It falls short in the braking and cornering division. It wasnt meant to be a race car. Drive sensibly and you have the best hatch in town.

Bumper to bumper traffic could become a litte stressed as the power steering is not as responsive as it sould be, and the clutch gets a little hard (as is the case with all diesels).

Take her to the highway and you will see why she has been branded "Crdi". Amazing torque of 24 kg-m will kick you in the back at around 1950 rpm and you will rocket to 100 kmph in no time. No diesel car/SUV this side of the Skoda Octavia can think of even coming close to her. I have done 165 kmph without any problem, but ran into traffic so couldnt go further.

Fuel efficiency is a decent 13 in tight traffic conditions, and 18 on the highway and that's good. 

I've taken people ranging from the age of 17-70, both male and female and they said one thing - Fantastic Car!

I am happy with a car that keeps everyone happy!

Exterior Good looking car with strong body structure, 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior needs some improvement like stearing mounted switches, air bags for safety, boue tooth conectivity, seats can be replaced for more comfort, rear seats can be provided with hand rest in the centre as the car can travel almost 500 km of more without any brake.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Most powerful engine gives tackoff effect in any gear, fuel economy is good upto speed of 100 kmph or less speed. 5 speed gear box is good we can aply one more overdrive gear as the car is over powered.

Ride Quality & Handling We feals the ride as good as horse riding, best stearing control, there is no other car has over taken us but we always overtake the cars of any make and model, best suspension system for smooth run at the speed of 190 kmpl or more on Indian roads.

Final Words Getz CRDI is best car among all models of HYUNDAI.

Areas of improvement Wheel rims needs more streigth.

Exterior

not stylish. From the top view it looks nice. How ever it look ordinary from side.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

my car colour is berry red. The interiors doesnot  look rich. The matching colours as in I20 may be equipped.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

It is overall good

Ride Quality & Handling

It is really good feeling to drive a Getz prime on a High way toward Nellore. We felt that we were not tired after travelling 300 kMs.

Final Words

I am satisfied wit the car's performance. Though it might not look so stylish from out side this is good for a family man like me. Our daughters like this car more than swift. They say it just lok like a mini Innova.

Areas of improvement  

The looks should be improved. Good marketing and after service shall be improved. Every vehicle owner shall be taught about the way to get maximum from the vehicle without experimenting them selves.
