Second-Hand Hyundai Getz
Used Hyundai Getz
Similarly to many of their low-budget automobile rivals, Hyundai has really got their act together in the last few years. The brand’s recent offerings are well finished, efficient and rather smartly designed. 2002’s Hyundai Getz was a popular new arrival on the supermini or subcompact scene and soon became one of Hyundai’s biggest sellers. The styling is slick and the interior is airy and spacious. There is an abundance of variations of this model, most of which can be found in the large range of used Hyundai Getz’ for sale at RAC Cars.
What You Get
For a car of the supermini class, used Hyundai Getz models are impressively flexible. The rear seat can not only fold 60/40 but also offers backwards/forwards controls similar to those usually found in the front. The steering wheel is height adjustable, but the right-hand position of the indicator stalk may take some getting used to. Safety features are impressive throughout, with the front belts being pre-tensioned and height-adjustable. Plus, there are twin front and side airbags, which is unusual for a car of this size. EBD and ABS are standard across the range, as is air conditioning on post-facelift models. That’s a lot more than you’ll find on many rivals that are twice the price of the willing little Getz. Plus, the used Hyundai Getz's compact length and width make it a doddle to park and useful in city traffic, while clever engineering means it is still pretty comfortable seating five adults. With 89% of materials used alleged to be recyclable, the Getz is also environmentally friendly.
How it Drives
All the engines on offer here are nippy even if handling isn’t quite at luxury car levels, but obviously, the 1.6 Sport is the only one that can lay claim to any serious speed. 9.6 seconds will get you from 0-60mph and the top speed is 113mph. The diesel is another lively option. If you opt for one of the used Hyundai Getz’ for sale at RAC Cars, you’re sure to get a rewarding, practical and thoroughly reliable buy.
