Goetz engines turned out to be remarkably unproblematic. Yes, after 60-70 thousand kilometers, immediately after a cold start, hydraulic lifters begin to tap, but after warming up, the knock subsides and does not progress with time. After 50-60 thousand kilometers, crankshaft oil seals can leak, due to the “fires of St. Elmo” on high-voltage wires, there are problems with starting in wet weather, spark plugs often need to be replaced twice as early as 30 thousand kilometers and most often cause the Check indication to turn on Engine. Ignoring it will cost you more - you can "get" a replacement not only oxygen sensor($140), but also a neutralizer ($800). And after three or four years, you often have to change a burnt or punctured (do not neglect the protection of the engine compartment!) “corrugation” exhaust system($ 150), although you can weld a universal "accordion" in its place.

After 80 thousand kilometers, the engine mounts begin to tire ($50-70). The first “bell” is increased vibrations, the second is a knock in the supports. The third, when the body of one of the supports collapses, it is better not to wait - the fallen power unit damage the wheel drive. And do not tighten with the replacement of the timing belt - its breakage after 60 thousand kilometers threatens by no means a friendly meeting of valves with pistons, especially on 12-valve valves with a volume of 1.3 liters. And 1400 cc motors turned out to be the most picky about the quality of fuel: a little something - the engine stalls after a cold start or starts to “play” with speed. It helps to “flash” the control unit - if the car is still under warranty, then it’s free, and after the expiration warranty period You will have to pay about $100 for the operation.

However, if the block is contaminated throttle valve turns will float at any of the motors. The crankcase ventilation system is to blame. Flushing is best entrusted to knowledgeable people. It is better to change the air filter at every maintenance after 15 thousand kilometers. This is easy to do on your own - as opposed to replacing the hidden in the gas tank fuel filter($30), which is required every 60 thousand kilometers.

Cooling radiators ($ 250) due to leaks in the lower tanks were often changed under warranty and often did not live up to 100 thousand kilometers - more reliable ones appeared only after restyling. Not too durable on the Goetz of the first years of production were also reputed to be "machines" produced by Hyundai - sometimes due to premature wear they had to be sorted out before 100 thousand kilometers. And there are problems with the control electronics even now - the speed sensors of the input and output shafts are failing, because of which the "automatic" after 50-60 thousand kilometers can start to work jerky, or even go into emergency mode(remains in third gear). But the repair costs no more than $ 200, and otherwise, taking care of the “machine” comes down to changing the oil every 45 thousand kilometers and the filter after 60 thousand kilometers.

After 50-60 thousand kilometers, a manual transmission may also require intervention - more precisely, torn cables of the gear shift drive ($ 80 each). The driven clutch disc ($90) can last up to 120 thousand kilometers, and before that, it may be necessary to replace the drive seals, the intermediate axle shaft bearing and a pair of release bearings ($40), warning of their imminent "death" by whistling.

And the rear suspension is vociferous and in good condition. tapping top mounts unheated shock absorbers - and it's usually not a matter of rubber bushings. If the "voice acting" of the suspension is annoying, you can replace the "native" harsh Mando shock absorbers with something softer (for example, Japanese Kayaba firms are suitable). The resource of shock absorbers is up to 60-70 thousand kilometers. The bushings and stabilizer struts "live" the same amount. Front shock absorbers ($90 each) require updating after 90-100 thousand kilometers - often along with thrust bearings(they are sold separately from the supports for only $10). Together with them it makes sense to change wheel bearings($50), steering tips ($25), silent blocks ($40 per side) and ball joints($25) front levers - both are changed separately.

Goetz's specific problem - the fragile studs for attaching the wheels to the hubs - has no age. But, as if anticipating future problems, the Koreans made the studs inexpensive ($1.5 each) and easily replaceable.

Most Getz are equipped with power steering, and on pre-styling cars with a 1.6 engine, there is also an MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) electric power steering located on the steering shaft. In the "electric" knocks of the worm shaft on irregularities are possible, in the "hydraulics" the pipe connections and pump seals sweat - neither of which is critical. A small backlash in the engagement of the gear and steering rack after 120 thousand kilometers is treated by adjustment, and crunches when turning the steering wheel disappear after replacing the steering shaft bearing ($ 20).

The brakes also turned out to be long-lived: the front pads often last longer than 40 thousand kilometers, and the discs - up to 100 thousand kilometers. The pads in the rear also serve at least the same amount. drum brakes(for cars with a 1.6-liter engine in our market, they are disc - their pads “walk” one and a half times less).

Goetz body successfully resists corrosion while its coating is intact: under a layer of paint - galvanic zinc-containing primer. But metal is not best quality- do not be lazy to immediately tint chips and scratches, otherwise rust will bloom in a matter of days. The paint, especially for pre-styling cars, is not very durable and after six or seven years it begins to swell on the trunk lid, doors, thresholds ... And plastic bumpers and door handles can start shedding even earlier.

But the salon is doing well. The budget upholstery is not wiped, the seats do not sit out. And the interior creaks even in fresh cars. Not too reliable buttons for heating the seats and power windows, and the “proprietary” problem with fogging of windows in wet weather can annoy - even frequent replacement of the cabin ventilation filter does not help. The air conditioner saves, but after three or four years it will require recharging due to a gradual refrigerant leak.

On average, "getzik" loses 8-9% per year of the original price. A three-four-year-old car in good condition can be bought for only 220-240 thousand rubles - however, it will be a three-door with a 1.1-liter engine and “mechanics”, which is only suitable for a leisurely drive alone. The most powerful and expensive 1600 cc cars (up to a quarter of offers) cost 270-350 thousand rubles with mechanical box gears, with an "automatic" - 20-30 thousand rubles more expensive. And the most popular versions with a 1.4 engine are estimated at 250-340 thousand rubles. And you can sell such cars without any problems - there is a demand.

H yundai Getz was exclusively front-wheel drive, and the drive design turned out to be extremely simple. So the choice is only between automatic transmission and five-speed mechanics. And if the CV joints and drives are quite reliable here (in any case, up to runs of 200-250 thousand), then the gearboxes are all with surprises.

If you hear that Getz manual transmissions were unsuccessful only before restyling, then do not believe these stories. M5AF3 boxes are not particularly good on cars of any model year. There are no problems with the design - after all, this is the legacy of Mitsubishi with minimal changes, but the execution is lame.

Mostly bearings fail. Release bearing often begins to howl at runs a little more than 60 thousand, and untimely replacement is fraught not only with the development of the basket on the petals and damage to the shutdown fork, but also with damage to the box body. Next in line are the primary and secondary bearings. secondary shaft. On the bulk of the machines, only a hundred thousand mileage bearings input shaft are already making noise. The output shaft starts to make noise later, but it starts almost inevitably, so if you repair the manual transmission, then you need to change everything.

Due to oil contamination, both the differential and the gearbox gears suffer. If you delay the repair, then often there is nothing to repair: a jammed differential will break the case and the main pair.

Cause rapid wear lies not only in the low quality of the original parts, but also in the quality of the oil seals: the box is leaking, and the oil level must be monitored both ways. Owners of cars with 1.6 and 1.4 liter engines were especially unlucky: they have their own boxes, different from boxes with Accent and other Hyundai, so spare parts are in short supply.

The only one reliable way repair of the box - a bulkhead with the installation of new bearings. To reduce the cost of repairs, “second-hand” parts are often used, since the original shafts and gears are not that expensive (5-8 thousand rubles per shaft), but the price of a complete manual transmission bulkhead can easily be higher than the price of the car. The standard repair option is to install a new shaft with used gears, for example, from a more or less live Accent box. Then (in the case of 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines) everything is going to old building boxes. Boxes for engines of 1.1 and 1.3 liters can also be left with an "accent" case. Such repairs cost 12-30 thousand rubles, which is quite acceptable for most.

In addition to problems with the manual transmission, there are troubles with its drive. It initially does not please with particular clarity, but with age, the quality of switching deteriorates due to stretching of the cables, breakage of the clamps ball joint backstage and just wear the ball joint. The wear of the axis of the triangular lever of longitudinal movements and the wear of its hinges also greatly affects the clarity of switching. In advanced cases, you have to change the lever itself, since it is still supplied in spare parts and costs less than a thousand rubles.

Cables also cause a lot of trouble. Their price is quite high, about 5,000 rubles, but you can get by with little bloodshed: basically, shock-absorbing thrust bushings wear out in engine compartment. These parts will cost less than 500 rubles, but to replace them you will have to remove the cables, and look for the bushings themselves in the catalogs on Mitsubishi Lancer IX (part numbers 2460A108 and 2460A109). By the way, bearings and synchronizers are also suitable from the Mitsubishi manual transmission, but which ones, experts keep at heart.

If you have a glimmer of hope that the automatic transmission is here more reliable than mechanics then I will disappoint you. In principle, boxes of the KM family of the A4AF3 / A4BF2 series on 1.3 and 1.4 liter engines and boxes of the A4CF1 / A4CF2 series with 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines are considered quite reliable. But in practice, closer to a hundred thousand mileage, boxes of release until 2008, and especially boxes of pre-styling cars until 2006, begin to act up. More recent automatic transmissions go much longer before the first problems appear, at least 180-200 thousand kilometers, and individual copies of the boxes can feel quite normal with runs over 300.

From a constructive point of view, there are a minimum of shortcomings, and there are no obvious weaknesses, or they appear when long runs. But the A4AF3 box was recycled in the process of transferring production to Hyundai facilities, and the debugging of production affected the quality. A small resource of solenoids and sensors, overheating due to a weak cooling system and associated oil leaks adversely affect the operation of the automatic transmission. It can be assumed that most of the first releases of machines of all series have already passed average repair at least with the repair of the valve body, and for those who like to drive “to the last”, the box has also undergone a complete overhaul.

In addition to the problems associated with a drop in oil level, oil starvation and malfunctions of the valve body, there are a number of unpleasant features. For example, a weak differential and gas turbine engine blocking pads, which, with aggressive driving, can be erased to an adhesive layer after hundreds of thousands of mileage. Yes, and external oil lines have unsuccessful corroding clamps, which sometimes leads to oil leaks.

The older A4AF3 / A4BF2 boxes, which are mainly found on cars before 2007, are a legacy of Mitsubishi, produced by Hyundai.

The weak point in the mechanical part is the Shell/Kickdown drum. Under heavy loads, it breaks its splines, and the drum friction pack usually burns out first.

There are also many problems with the Direct Clutch drum. He breaks the 046 bushing, especially on pre-styling machines with an A4AF3 box, which leads to a serious oil leak, and usually the oil pump is also damaged.

With excessively active movement, the Overdrive hub bearing breaks early enough.

Typical malfunctions of the valve body - failure of valves 364420, damage to wiring and speed sensors.

Drum breakdowns, unfortunately, happen often, and with runs of about 200 thousand, they will almost certainly manifest themselves even among more or less careful drivers. The 046 bushing fails less frequently than the Shell drum, but the consequences are noticeably more expensive.

More new automatic transmission A4CF1 / A4CF2, which appeared after 2005, began to be widely used on Getz only after 2008. Its early releases, which can be found with a 1.6-liter engine on dorestyling, cause a lot of trouble. But the versions after 2008 have practically no mechanical problems. Breakdowns of the valve body of this box and its electronics are relatively budgetary, although the box still does not differ in particular durability and trouble-free. Before a major repair with the replacement of the gas turbine engine blocking pad, most of the solenoids and the revision of the friction clutches and the pump bushing, on average, you can count on 200-250 thousand kilometers. The main mechanical problem is the early failure of the oil pump due to poor oil filtration and rare oil changes. Also regularly during operation at a standard oil change interval, the linear pressure solenoid fails. The harbinger of his replacement is the blows when turning on the D and R modes.

Pictured: Hyundai Getz 5-door "2005–2010

It is also worth checking the wiring of the solenoids, which is quite fragile here and is very afraid of vibrations (change the engine mounts and gearboxes in time). A block of shifter solenoids rarely fails completely, but the chances are still far from zero. The price, in general, is ridiculous - about 10 thousand rubles for the entire “bed”, but few people change them, and if you have already changed the linear solenoid, the wiring is intact, but there are still shocks, then check it at the stand.

To improve the operation of this box, it is worth installing an external oil filter. With him, she becomes noticeably more reliable.

The general rule is not to buy cars with automatic transmission before restyling, especially cars with a 1.6 liter engine. If you need an automatic, then look at cars with A4CF1 / A4CF2 boxes after 2008 with a 1.4 liter engine. It will be a relatively reliable and budget option.

Buying even a late version of the A4AF3 / A4BF2 automatic transmission is not a good idea. With standard runs for these cars, the box has almost certainly already been left and repaired. It is cheap to repair, but the resource is up to next repair will be small even with careful maintenance.

Motors

Budget car on quality Getz engines almost had no effect. The G4E series motors were developed by Mitsubishi, and they have practically no generic problems. SOHC engines with 12-valve cylinder heads were installed mainly before restyling, 1.1-liter G4HG engines and 1.3-liter G4EH engines are rare and mostly on very old cars. After restyling, a 1.4 DOHC engine was added to the line of engines, which was a pair of a 1.6 liter engine (series 1.6 G4ED and 1.4 G4EE, respectively). These motors are very reliable.

cast iron block, timing belt drive, hydraulic lifters and a fairly massive piston group give a good margin of safety for any style of operation. But the resource is not at all unlimited, and due to the design piston group a small oil appetite is already present closer to a hundred thousand mileage. It greatly increases with overheating due to the death valve stem seals and leaks in the motor seals. In addition, the crankcase ventilation system is unpretentious, which is why the engine constantly “sweats”. Usually, after 200 thousand mileage, the engine comes to a state when it is better to sort it out due to oil consumption. And if you roll another 60-70 thousand, you will have to make a full-fledged "capital" with the installation of a repair piston and a complete restoration of the cylinder head.

Pictured: Hyundai Getz 5-door "2002–2005

The belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles or even earlier. In cold regions, on 16-valve engines closer to 150-180 thousand mileage, it is imperative to replace the chain connecting the camshafts and its dampers.

And yet, during operation, many minor troubles can arise, and the older the motor, the more trouble. Floating rpm due to dirty throttle and governor idle move on old motors - a common thing, they need to be washed. Dirty intake is also not uncommon. With runs of more than a hundred thousand, you may encounter a knock in the timing due to failures of hydraulic lifters, which are not entirely successful here (for lovers of budget repairs, Ina compensators from VAZ get up here). To the credit of the motors, the problem is mainly associated with a rare oil change or its poor quality.

With runs of more than a hundred to one and a half thousand kilometers, coil failures are regularly encountered, high voltage wires, sensors and wiring. Good feedback about reliability usually relate to cars with runs up to 100, a maximum of 150 thousand kilometers. Further, the motor is still going, but it begins to demand more and more insistent attention. Apparently, on greater resource Korean manufacturer didn't really count.

Pictured: Hyundai Getz 5-door "2002–2005

After about 150 thousand mileage, it is worth seriously diagnosing the catalyst. The chances that it will begin to "dust" are quite high, and the motor will not live long after that: already quite soft piston rings won't bear it. By the way, to the quality of the installation air filter the motor is also very sensitive, and its design allows the installer to make mistakes.

Pictured: Hyundai Getz 3-door "2005–2010

Do not chase SOHC motors: they are not in operation cheaper than motors 1.4 and 1.6 liters, and the resource of larger engines is generally slightly higher. The difference in the repair price is insignificant, as well as the difference in the price of the contract unit.

Summary

Tempted by the low price of parts, many conclude that the Hyundai Getz will be just as cheap to run overall. But no - if in maintenance it is cheaper than other foreign cars, then not much. The problem is that the reliability of the car was characteristic mainly for low mileage. Up to 150 thousand kilometers, the car almost does not ask for investments, but then small and not very problems begin. And if cars were lucky with engines, then with manual transmission and automatic transmission produced before 2008 - not so much. Yes, and the body in our climate rots noticeably, and if you do not take decisive measures, it does it quickly enough. As a result, everything comes out not so cheap, especially if you do not do minor work with your own hands, but rely only on services and bring any malfunction to a breakdown.

The Goetz has plenty of pros, but think hard before buying this car. And do not forget about a thorough diagnosis of the body.

Expert opinion

Hyundai Getz has a number of advantages that distinguish it from other subcompact cars: budget price, relatively cheap service and no serious illnesses. it great option for any driver who does not pursue large dimensions and at the same time does not impose increased requirements on the driving qualities of a car.

For some reason, Hyundai Getz has long been entrenched in the reputation of pure female car. Actually, it's just a stereotype. According to our practice, almost half of the owners who buy and sell these cars are men.

Finding a "Korean" in perfect condition is very difficult, since the car has not been produced since 2011 and has already managed to live a busy life. First of all, there may be problems with the body. The minimum that awaits you is chips, scratches and lapped. In this case, you are even lucky. Another common problem is the suspension, in particular the stabilizer struts. And this is not the fault of the car design itself, but of the owners, who in most cases delay the trip to the service station until the last. At the same time, all problems are easily and budgetary eliminated.

Despite the fact that Hyundai Getz is an "old man" in the market, the demand for it is consistently high. And both on the automatic and on the mechanics. Just yesterday, two buyers came to our branch in Rostov-on-Don at once, and both wanted to buy a 2010 Hyundai Getz on the mechanics.

Hatchback prices are highly dependent on the region of sale. If we consider restyled cars last year release with the most popular 1.4 engine (97 hp), then average price in Moscow and the region for cars with automatic transmission is 320 thousand rubles, with manual transmission - 300 thousand rubles. But the offers on the market of the Krasnodar Territory are much more expensive: with automatic transmission - 350 thousand rubles, with manual transmission - 320 thousand rubles.

Would you buy a Hyundai Getz?

The appearance of the little Hyundai Getz does not make the heart beat faster, and many, passing by, do not even notice this car. However, this has its advantages for those who are not used to standing out.

Model history

The first serial Hyundai Getz was released in 2002. Apart from South Korea the car was assembled in India, Malaysia and even Venezuela. The subcompact was offered in many markets and therefore had several names. For example, in Korea and Syria - Click, in India - Getz Prime, and in Japan - TV. In Venezuela, the baby was generally available under a false name - Dodge Brisa II.

Three years after world production models scored full speed, Koreans decided to restyling. The car received more rounded headlights, an updated grille and rear lights. From that point on, the Getz model was sold unchanged until 2009, when the Hyundai i20 took its place. However, in many countries, the production of the model was still ongoing, in particular, Getz was supplied to Russia until 2011.

Diesel:

R3 1.5 CRDi (82 hp)

R4 1.5 CRDi (88-101 hp)

1.1 liter 12 valve petrol engine.

In a vehicle of this segment, the choice right engine determined primarily by economics. For this reason, the base gasoline engine immediately disappears. It only seems that a small unit will save on fuel. In order to accelerate the car at least a little, you will have to “turn” the engine strongly, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in fuel consumption. And although the appetite will not be too big, it will be commensurate with the level of consumption of engines with a capacity of 1.3 and 1.4 liters.

The base 1.1-liter unit has mechanical valve clearance compensation, which requires periodic monitoring (once every 30,000 km) and complex adjustment. The 1.3-liter engine is similar in design to the base unit, but is equipped with hydraulic compensators valve clearance. Unfortunately, hydraulic lifters wear out quite quickly, which leads to very noisy work engine immediately after starting. The 1.6-liter engine has a variable valve timing system and two camshafts in the block head. Everybody petrol units equipped with a timing belt drive, which must be replaced every 60,000 km.

Is it worth considering the purchase of an "exotic" diesel modification? At today's prices and quality diesel fuel is not the best solution. Diesel units CRDi families, especially at high mileage, are prone to malfunctions that are expensive to fix. One of the most common failures is the failure of the boost pressure sensor. But there are pluses - diesel engines are more flexible and consume less fuel- 5-7 l / 100 km. It is worth noting that the 3-cylinder unit does not differ in softness of work: it growls and vibrates strongly.

Leaks in many pieces with age engine oil through the oil sump and crankshaft seals. Nevertheless, there is no need to dismantle engines for serious repairs before 200-300 thousand km.

Design features

Hyundai Getz has two body types: 3-door and 5-door. The most popular, of course, are the 5-door versions. Unfortunately, many cars of the first years of production are very poorly equipped and do not even have air conditioning, ABS and power steering. The last two entered the list of serial equipment after the update in 2005.

In cars of this class, there is almost never a place for suspension. complex scheme or a technologically advanced transmission. The thesis is also true for the Hyundai Getz. The front suspension is a classic MacPherson strut and the rear is a torsion beam. A choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic was offered. According to the results of crash tests EuroNCAP Hyundai Getz earned 4 races.

Typical problems and malfunctions

Goetz in terms of reliability is perhaps one of best cars in brand history. But he is far from the notorious Japanese impeccability. What can fail? First of all, the suspension, which is on Russian roads- The usual thing. In front, the stabilizer struts and bushings, as well as silent blocks of levers, are knocked out quite quickly. Behind - shock absorbers wear out prematurely, and anthers sometimes begin to knock. Due to the separate arrangement of springs and shock absorbers, replacing the latter is cheaper and easier. With age, drum brakes can also rattle.

Getz owners complain about unsatisfactory quality paintwork, which is vulnerable to the slightest scratches, and sometimes even flakes off. However, thanks to the 90% galvanization of the body, there is no outbreak of an epidemic of corrosion. The situation is different with the subframe and exhaust system which often rust. In older cars, traces of corrosion can be found in engine compartment, on the bottom, elements of the running gear and the brake system.

Sometimes there are problems with the controller power plant or refuse high voltage wires. The rest of the shortcomings are usually minor. Problems with the central lock, tailgate lock, ABS sensors (contact oxidation) and flimsy door seals are another typical sores this model.

The market is quite well stocked with spare parts: they are available and very cheap. Therefore, Goetz can be recommended to novice drivers. Troubleshooting and Consequences possible accidents will be fast and easy.

Conclusion

It is quite possible to find on the market still young and already inexpensive Hyundai getz. Apart from excellent ratio cost-for-age, the Getz provides a decent level of comfort and a fair amount of space for its class. But, unfortunately, the car also has disadvantages, including rather poor equipment and finishing materials of not the best quality. However, the compact in terms of reliability surpasses much more reputable rivals. Thus, it is an excellent choice for people with a rational approach who need a reliable, inexpensive and practical car.

Typical faults:

1. uneven work engine is usually caused by faulty high voltage wires.

2. Loud noise exhaust appears when the flexible connector of the pipes of the exhaust system is worn.

3. Short-lived rear shock absorbers easy to change and have a wide range of inexpensive substitutes.

Compact urban Hyundai hatchback Getz at one time became a real bomb. The Koreans managed to build a car that, in many respects, was not inferior to the Europeans, but was much cheaper. But the years always take their toll. And today we will discuss the weaknesses of this model. We will talk about the most popular average option. This is a 2008 car with 80,000 miles on it. Just such unkilled cars diverge on the Internet like hot cakes.

Under the hood of our Getz, the most common 1.4-liter engine with 97 Horse power. The box is mechanical. The issue price is 225 thousand rubles. Even after 8 years, the car looks fresh, especially from the outside. Of course, inside modern Koreans will be more presentable. Although, on the other hand, a simple interior is unpretentious in maintenance.

True, over time it all begins to creak. But they say that the new Gets is absolutely the same story. And for some reason, the car constantly fogs up windshield. Only the air conditioner saves, which, due to regular use, wears out quickly, and sometimes, in general. But more on that later.

To get an authoritative opinion about the car, we turned to the masters in the car service. And here's what they had to say about the 2008 Hyundai Getz. First of all, let's find out what sores you need to pay attention to when buying a used hatchback.

If speak about classic problems chassis, then experts indicate a design flaw in the wheel mount. Simply put, the wheel is mounted on weak studs that wear out quickly. Also, the front shock absorbers often fail. Other weaknesses of the running mechanics include weak steering rack, namely the leakage of the stuffing box, which subsequently turns into a repair of the entire rail.

Now the engine and transmission. In pre-styling cars (until 2005), every second automatic machine failed by 100 thousand (their repair costs approximately 40-50 thousand rubles). The problem of engines of those years -. But this is true only for cars with a mileage of more than 100 thousand kilometers. By the way, in the club Hyundai owners Getz often complain about the leakage of the coolant reservoir.

Over the years, the car did not have time to lose compression, but, compared to the new Getz, the power fell by 4-5%. That is, in fact, under the hood is not 97, but 93 horses, and acceleration to hundreds takes 0.2 seconds more than stated. Fuel consumption also increased by about half a liter.

The last in line is the electrics and other elements. Among the most common sores of Hyundai Getz electricians, mechanics note weak rear wiring. fog lamp. Due to poor insulation and location (right under the bumper), moisture constantly gets on the wires and the contacts are oxidized. The second drawback is poor quality constructive. In this connection, there is a constant fogging of the glasses.

According to statistics, almost all experienced Hyundai Getz suffer from another problem - the insecurity of the body from corrosion. After 5 years of operation, rust can be found under the hood, on the thresholds and the bottom of the doors. After 8 years, the geography of parts affected by corrosion will be even larger.

Now let's calculate how much you need to invest in a used car in order to make candy out of it. Let me remind you that our 2008 Hyundai Getz costs 225 thousand rubles. To bring him in ideal condition not much investment is required - approximately 20 thousand rubles. This amount includes a large maintenance and repair, plus a local tint of a pair body parts. Total - 245 thousand rubles. I must say that the car is quite liquid on secondary market. An eight-year-old hatchback will lose no more than 9-10 percent of its value per year.

The Hyundai Getz was discontinued in 2011, replaced by the Hyundai i20. AT similar equipment with a 1.4-liter engine, it will be slightly more powerful, but slower than its predecessor, while being more modern inside and more economical (in the city, by about 1 liter). Price new car in average configuration is 545 thousand rubles. As a result, the benefit of buying a used 8 summer Hyundai Getz, taking into account the money invested in repairs, will amount to 300 thousand rubles.

Owner reviews

Getz — the first car in our family. Bought mostly for my wife. Up to 60,000 km were serviced by the officials, then he began to do it himself. The last time, the cost of consumables (oil, filters, candles) amounted to about 4,000 rubles, of which most of the oil is - I fill MOTUL and the cabin filter.

Despite running 102,000 km, the machine fails neither my wife nor me. Getz is what you expect and subsequently get in return for the money spent!

All components and assemblies are reliable and time-tested. No variators, robots and other crap that complicates operation. The salon is quite spacious, in front with my height (186 cm) you can accommodate without problems, although only one can sit comfortably in the back. The quality of the paintwork is acceptable, the head light is excellent. The main evaluation criterion is a satisfied wife behind the wheel of Getz.

P.S. This car, I think, has a good idea - the idea of ​​​​a reliable and simple car.

Review of the Hyundai Getz 1.6 on the mechanics of 2003

Video review

The car is great, I'm not overjoyed. I use it for about a year, without problems both in summer and in winter. Quite comfortable and spacious for its size, it is comfortable to sit in the car. I have full set. Salon is quite roomy.

Average consumption. In terms of driving performance: the suspension is harsh, but it is excellent on the road, good cross in winter, almost nothing catches.

Cons: short gearbox, rear passengers shake like a goat due to the low weight of the rear.

Dmitry, review of Hyundai Getz 1.4 manual transmission 2007 onwards

I write about reliability and prices primarily because the machine deserves it. On this moment mileage 89,500 km, and I remember only a couple of visits to the store for spare parts. Serious breakdown there was only one at 85 thousand: a hose burst in winter high pressure on the power steering, the price of the issue with the replacement work, the manufacture of a new hose according to the model and the new slurry in the power steering - 1,950 rubles. Nothing has been repaired or changed in the car anymore!

When buying a 1.6 engine paired with a manual transmission, I was bribed. Shifting gears is a pleasure, very clear. gear ratios selected without failures, however, for city driving, but on the highway in 5th gear at 110 km / h already 3,000 rpm. The fourth gear is very short, it would be more authentic, and the fifth could be taken out further, then it would be more economical on the highway. But in general I'm satisfied.

And how, living in Siberia, not to write about cold starts. I have a new battery, but with a small starting current, at -25 it freezes, so it starts at autostart at -10 C. Twice I was engaged in sadism and started the car without warming up at -32 after a day of inactivity, on a warm battery from an apartment with 7 "zipper" it started up both the first and the second time.

Salon. There is no point in talking about the dimensions, the class of the car itself implies that there is nowhere to walk the elephant. The only pleasant surprise rear seats: if in Priore I sit down behind myself with difficulty, and even rest my head against the ceiling, then in Goetz I have no problems at all and any discomfort.

backs rear seats have an angle adjustment. Finishing materials without question. Seats are easy to clean, plastic is not scratched. There are no crickets. Only in the cold the 5th door creaks a little. But the oven is weak. Not to say that I have ever been cold, but the 82-degree thermostat makes itself felt on short outings around the city.

Review about Hyundai Getz 1.6 (106 hp) with 2007 mechanics

Appearance. Initially, Goetz never liked the look, considered him too ordinary. After a year, I guess I just got used to him, and he even seems cute. Of the minuses - front bumper has a large overhang, you can strike curbs and row snow with it. Clearance of 130 mm is very small, with fully loaded it is very difficult to drive to the dacha, in winter you also cling to the pits with protection, then with your lip.

Inner world. No noise — a fact. You can hear everything, especially noisy from behind, the noise comes from the arches. The interior decoration is ascetic, the plastic is hard, the buttons and switches are simple. Seats are comfortable, lateral support is good, pillow driver's seat a bit short, after 3 hours driving really want to stop and get out.

Driving qualities. You should probably start with the fact that Goetz is a car for two maximum, and this is manifested not only in the ergonomics of the cabin, but also in driving performance. The machine as a whole is frisky, and there are no problems with a lead on the track, but this is all true for a car in which there are only two people. As soon as you need to drive to the dacha, and there are four adults in the car, the agility melts, and the 1.4 engine is no longer enough, and if you still turn on the condo and throw things in the trunk, then it’s completely a pipe.

The suspension is very stiff, on a flat road this is, of course, a plus - there is no buildup, but on potholes and potholes it responds in the steering wheel and fifth point. Rolls well. The power steering allows you to turn the steering wheel with one finger in the parking lot, but at speed it becomes heavier. Zero on the steering wheel is quite clear, the steering wheel strives to return to it quite quickly, on the track the car does not tire with “taxiing”.

Review of Hyundai Getz 1.4 (97 hp) with automatic 2008

Inside "Gesh" is empty as a drum. The plastic is oak, but it never bothered me. Salon without Asianism, simple, spacious, square and practical. With good visibility. Due to the configuration, the right window lifter and the right mirror adjuster are very lacking. And also an air conditioner. Not cabin filter, maybe you can add, but did not ask this question.

In the rain, the windows sweat, you have to unscrew the heater for heat. In winter, it warms up for a long time, but this does not bother me much.

Outside. Looks good from certain angles. From others it looks out of proportion (because of the huge front doors). The rest is square and not pretentious.

Exploitation. The machine is used for different needs. I chase her in the tail in the mane, but always with proper care and timely replacement consumables. We traveled far to the Crimea. And so Tver, Tula, Belgorod, St. Petersburg - these are the usual distances several times a year. Many trips around Moscow and the region.

Due to its size (less than 4 meters in length), parking in Moscow is convenient. Goetz also carries various different differences, which, with the seats folded down, fit quite well. In general, the device is not whimsical. Sturdy body and durable not killed suspension.
