Hyundai getz - compact, comfortable, well-controlled car, it can be bought for less than 10 thousand dollars. When these cars first went on sale, they found their owners very quickly, not only because of the low price.
Hyundai Getz has really trouble-free motors, the only thing that can happen after 60 thousand km. mileage Are the current crankshaft oil seals. Spark plugs very often fail 30,000 km and because of them the "Check Engine" light comes on. Therefore, as soon as this light comes on, you should not waste time and immediately start replacing the candles, because if this is not done, it may fail. oxygen sensor and even an expensive ($ 800) converter. It was also noticed that after about 4 years the time comes to change the corrugation of the exhaust system, which can burn out or break through, especially if you do not monitor the cleanliness in engine compartment... You can also put an accordion instead of a corrugation.
After Getz rolls back 80,000 km it is time to change the motor mounts, which cost about $ 60. Usually, it all starts with vibrations, then a knock appears in the supports, if at this stage they are not changed, then the body will collapse on one of the supports, after which the engine may fall and damage the wheel drive.
Also, do not forget that the timing belt must be changed. once every 60,000 km., to avoid serious consequences. There are engines with a volume of 1.3 liters, and there are 1.4-liter engines, and so, the latter are more picky about the quality of fuel. If the quality of the fuel is low, then the engine will stall until the car warms up, or it happens that the speed of the car floats. These situations can be corrected quite simply - reflashing the control unit, such an operation will cost about $ 100 if the machine is not under warranty.
You also need to monitor the cleanliness of the block. throttle, if this block gets dirty, then floating speed will appear on all engines in Getz. The culprit behind the contamination of the throttle body is the crankcase ventilation system, so periodically it is necessary to clean it, moreover, the work is quite delicate, it must be trusted by professionals. It is also desirable once every 15,000 km. to replace the air filter, since it can be done even by yourself. And of course, once every 60,000 km. need to change fuel filter, which is in the gas tank.
After 100000 km mileage cooling radiators often failed, because the lower tanks began to leak. After restyling, they began to install stronger tanks.
Also, automatic transmissions from Hyundai, which were installed on the Getz of the first years of production, do not differ in special durability, there were frequent cases that these boxes were worn out already per 100,000 km. mileage... There are also cases that the input and output shaft speed sensors fail, this causes problems with the electronics on the automatic transmission, after which the car starts to twitch, and in the future the automatic transmission goes into emergency mode- 3rd gear will always be included. Fortunately, the repair of this box is inexpensive - about $ 200. And if you follow the box and once every 45,000 km. change the oil and filter, then there will be no problems at all.
In most cases, a manual transmission is installed in Hyundai Getz, it may also require some repair after 60 thousand km. - the cables of the gearshift drive are torn, as for the clutch disc, it is already out of order after 120,000 km. mileage... A new one costs $ 90. About per 100,000 km. mileage usually it is necessary to change the oil seals of the drives, the intermediate bearing of the axle shaft, release bearings.
Suspension
Even rear suspension serviceable, then it also emits a considerable number of sounds. For example, the upper mounts on the shock absorbers knock if they did not have time to warm up. This, of course, is nothing, but if these noises are annoying, then you can change standard shock absorbers to softer ones.
Rear shocks can last no more than 70,000 km. mileage... The bushings and stabilizer struts have the same resource. As for the front shock absorbers, they can last longer - about 100,000 km, after which they will have to be changed, and they cost $ 90 each.
Usually it is necessary to change immediately and thrust bearings each bearing costs $ 10. You can also replace wheel bearings, steering tips, silent blocks, ball joints front levers.
There is still such a problem with the Getz - these are rather weak studs for attaching the wheels to the hubs. But it's good that these studs are inexpensive - $ 1.50 and can be easily changed.
Almost all Hyundai Getz have a power steering, but on older versions, even pre-styling ones, with a 1.6-liter engine, there are electric boosters.
In the hydraulic booster, the pipe connections can fog up, and on the electric booster there are knocks at the worm shaft when the car is driving on a bad road. But this is all nonsense. If there is a backlash after 120,000 km, then it can be adjusted. There may also be a slight crunch during the steering wheel, which means it's time to change the steering shaft bearing for $ 20.
Brakes
The brakes in Getz serve quite a long time - the front pads serve about 40,000 km, front discs - 100,000 km... On the rear wheels there are drums, the pads on them serve about the same. Cars with a volume of 1.6 liters are disc brakes on the rear wheels.
Goetz's body
The body of the Hyundai Getz resists rust well if the paintwork is in order. Galvanic zinc-containing primer is applied under the paint. But the metal itself is not good enough, therefore, as soon as chips or scratches appear, they must be painted over immediately so that the rust does not grow.
On pre-styling cars, the paint is not particularly resistant, and after 7 years of service, it can swell on the doors, trunk and sills.
Salon
The salon retains its appearance, it uses budget materials, but the fabric on the seats does not rub. Sometimes there are creaks in the cabin. The car has an air conditioner, however, it needs to be recharged every 4 years. A considerable amount of luggage can be placed in the trunk, thanks to the correct shape of the luggage compartment.
Price
Hyundai Getz is a budget car, but it is in demand, it loses about 9% of its original cost in a year. Now a decent car with a volume of 1.1 and in a 3-door body can be bought for about 240,000 rubles, but it is a little cramped in it, and you won't get much acceleration. But the most nimble 1.6-liter modifications can be bought for about 300-350 thousand rubles. But they will have a manual transmission, and for those who want an automatic, they will have to add about 30,000 rubles more. But the most popular are modifications with a 1.4-liter engine; they can be taken on the market for about 250-340 thousand rubles. Hyundai Getz is a liquid car, then you can always sell it, because budget cars are always in demand.
The appearance of a small 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. In addition to 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 the model gained full speed, the Koreans decided on restyling. The car received more rounded headlights, an updated radiator grill and taillights... From that moment, the Getz model was sold unchanged until 2009, when it was replaced by the Hyundai i20. However, in many countries, the production of the model was still ongoing, in particular, the Getz was supplied to Russia until 2011.
Engines
Gasoline:
R4 1.1 (63-66 HP)
R4 1.3 (82-85 HP)
R4 1.4 (97 hp)
R4 1.6 (105-106 HP)
Diesel:
R3 1.5 CRDi (82 HP)
R4 1.5 CRDi (88-101 HP)
1.1-liter 12-valve petrol engine.
In a car of this segment, the choice correct engine is determined, first of all, by efficiency. For this reason, the basic gasoline engine... It only seems that a small unit will save on fuel. To accelerate the car even a little, you will have to "turn" the engine, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in fuel consumption. And although the appetite will not be too great, it will be commensurate with the level of consumption of engines with a capacity of 1.3 and 1.4 liters.
The basic 1.1-liter unit has mechanical valve clearance compensation, which requires periodic monitoring (every 30,000 km) and complex adjustments. The 1.3-liter engine is similar in design to the base unit, but equipped with hydraulic valve clearance compensators. Unfortunately, hydraulic lifters wear out rather quickly, which leads to very noisy engine operation immediately after starting. The 1.6-liter engine has a variable valve timing system and two camshafts in the cylinder head. Everything gasoline units equipped with a belt-type timing drive, which must be replaced every 60,000 km.
Should you consider purchasing an "exotic" diesel modification? At today's prices and quality diesel fuel- this is not the most profitable solution. Diesel units of the CRDi family, especially when high mileage are prone to malfunctions, expensive to fix. One of the most common failures is the failure of the boost pressure sensor. But there are also pluses - diesels 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: it growls and vibrates a lot.
With age, in many instances, engine oil leaks through the oil sump and crankshaft oil seals are observed. Nevertheless, there is no need to disassemble engines for major repairs before 200-300 thousand km.
Design features
Hyundai Getz has two body types: 3-door and 5-door. The most popular are, of course, 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 latter two were included in the serial equipment list after the 2005 update.
In cars of this class, there is almost never a place for a complex suspension 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 a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic was offered. According to the results of EuroNCAP crash tests, Hyundai Getz has earned 4 races.
Typical problems and malfunctions
Getz in terms of reliability, perhaps one of the best cars in the history of the brand. But he is far from the notorious Japanese perfection. What can fail? First of all, the suspension, which is Russian roads- The usual thing. In the front, the struts and stabilizer bushings, as well as the silent blocks of the levers, are quickly knocked out. Behind - shock absorbers wear out prematurely, and sometimes anthers begin to knock. Due to the separate arrangement of springs and shock absorbers, replacing the latter is cheaper and easier. Drum brakes can also clatter with age.
Getzov owners complain about unsatisfactory quality paintwork, which is vulnerable to the slightest scratches, and sometimes even flakes off. However, due to the 90% galvanization of the body, there is no outbreak of corrosion epidemic. The situation is different with the stretcher and exhaust system which often rust. In older cars, traces of corrosion can be found in the engine compartment, underbody, chassis and brakes.
Sometimes there are malfunctions in the power plant controller or high-voltage wires fail. The rest of the disadvantages are usually insignificant. Problems with central locking, tailgate lock, ABS sensors (contact oxidation) and flimsy door seals are another typical sores this model.
The market is well stocked with spare parts: they are available and very cheap. Therefore, Getz can be recommended for novice drivers. Elimination of faults and consequences possible accidents will be fast and easy.
Conclusion
It is quite possible to find a still young and already inexpensive Hyundai Getz on the market. In addition to its excellent value for money, the Goetz offers quite 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 not very best quality... However, the compact outperforms much more established rivals in terms of reliability. Thus, it is an excellent choice for people with a rational attitude who need a reliable, inexpensive and practical car.
Typical malfunctions:
1. Rough engine operation is usually caused by defective high voltage wires.
2. Loud exhaust sound occurs when the flexible connector of the exhaust pipes is worn.
3. Short-lived rear shock absorbers are easy to change and have a wide range of inexpensive substitutes.

In 2002, the South Korean company Hyundai announced the start of production of the Hyundai Getz compact hatchback. The model is called differently on different continents, for example, in India it is Getz Prime, and in Venezuela it is Dodge Brisa. The Koreans managed to assemble an amazing car that has nothing in common with other developments of the Hyundai Motor Company engineers. The hatchback design resembles more the brainchild of the German or Japanese car industry.
It is for appearance and high performance characteristics model in as soon as possible gained high popularity. Attractive and reliable potential buyers they also see South Korean-made motors, which have managed to establish themselves during all this time only with better side... Let's talk about what the engine life of the Hyundai Getz is, and what problems the owner runs into during the operation of the car.
What motors were equipped with Hyundai Getz?
The Hyundai Getz powertrain line is not replete with a special variety, but there is still plenty to choose from. Until 2005, the buyer had three different power plants: 1.1 SOHC, 1.3 SOHC, 1.6 DOHC. But after the manufacturer decided to abandon the 1.3-liter engine in favor of the 1.4-liter modification. So a new one appeared power unit, which later became the base for the subcompact car. All three motors are considered quite economical due to their small volume and power.
Top Hyundai equipment Getz was equipped with a 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 105 Horse power... This engine was aggregated by mechanical or automatic transmission gear. A mid-range engine and in most cases the most appropriate is still the 1.4-liter engine. Power of 97 horsepower is enough for comfortable daily movement on the streets of the metropolis. In addition to the modification with mechanics, you can also find a version of the car with a 4-speed automatic.
How long do these engines “run”?
The model was discontinued in 2011, when a new 5-door replaced the miniature Hyundai Getz. But, despite this, many motorists do not mind today to acquire a successful in every sense development of the South Korean automaker. 16-valve power units are known for their reliability and unpretentiousness. G4EE engines labeled by the manufacturer, with proper, high-quality, timely service, "go" at least 300 thousand kilometers. The motors are equipped with a timing belt, hydraulic lifters, which can knock on "cold" in some cases.
The emergence extraneous sounds in the operation of a cold engine does not always indicate a malfunction in the car system, sometimes sounds can be technological feature the work of a certain modification of the power unit. The Hyundai Getz cylinder block is made of ductile iron, while the cylinder head itself was made of aluminum alloy. Distinctive feature 1.4-liter engine is the presence of two camshafts, the functioning of which is possible due to the combined timing belt. A similar design cannot be found, for example, in a 1.3-liter engine, where only one belt is installed.
Owner reviews
The timing belt, as a rule, in the Hyundai Getz 1.3 car system serves for 60-70 thousand kilometers. The need to replace the chain arises less often - 80-90 thousand km. At this point, the chain stretches and begins to ring. In general, all power units of a subcompact car are resistant to adverse factors, reliable and picky. The first more or less energy-consuming repair may be needed when passing the first 60 thousand km - you will need to replace the crankshaft oil seals. Spark plugs with low-quality fuel in rare cases "live" more than 30 thousand km. Rest possible malfunctions and the real figures of the resource of the Hyundai Getz engines will highlight the reviews of the owners.
Engine with a volume of 1.1 l
- Yuri, Barnaul. I have a 2008 Hyundai Getz with a 1.1 liter engine. I am satisfied with the car, the mileage has exceeded 180 thousand kilometers. It is convenient to travel every day for business and work, it is easy to find a free space in the supermarket parking lot. During this time, I changed the crankshaft oil seals, changed the timing belt twice. The engine itself is unpretentious, with our fuel it feels pretty good. It is also best to change early motor oil, here already, who likes what. I don't think it's worth talking about the fact that you also need to undergo scheduled maintenance on time. Every 15 thousand I change air filters, and after 50 thousand km fuel. Candles, as expected, after 20-30 thousand, then there will be no problems with the motor.
- Valentine, Krasnodar. I was probably one of the first to have a nice South Korean car Hyundai Getz with a 1.1 liter engine and mechanical box... I have had a car since 2003, during which time I have already covered 280,000 kilometers. What can I say, even now the car feels cheerful and confident. Always bought only original Consumables, if possible, he himself replaced them. There have never been any serious problems with the car engine. Changed the timing belt on time, it is best not to wait for his time to come. Compression in cylinders is normal until now, also changed wheel bearing, nothing more. I am confident with quality maintenance Getz will travel 400,000 kilometers or more.
- Maxim, Moscow. Hyundai Getz took in 2004, 1.1 liter engine, mechanics. A mileage of 200,000 km, a power of 66 forces is quite enough for Moscow, the only thing is that there are no hydraulic lifters in the 1.1 l modification, after every one hundred thousand mileage, you need to adjust the clearances. Recently I was at the service station, the belt was changed, the masters said that the motor was still in good condition, at least 300 thousand will pass, but further the prospects are not the best. Getz engine 1.1 l does not lend itself overhaul, the cylinder block is impossible to liner, replacing the pistons is virtually impossible. Therefore, to all owners of this little "miracle", do not count on a resource over 300k.
The owners of the Hyundai Getz modification also confirm the high resource of the power unit, which reaches 300 thousand kilometers. Many owners are satisfied with the level and quality of the motor assembly, its unpretentiousness, stability and responsiveness.
Power unit 1.3
- Nikolay, Rostov. I had two Hyundai Getz between 2002 and 2011. Initially, I started operating this car with a 1.3-liter engine under the hood. A very reliable, well-assembled power unit. Despite its weak protection against the penetration of dust and dirt, as well as the formation of rust on some internal components of the engine, the "heart" of the car works smoothly. I walked about 250 thousand kilometers, and just recently I sold an old car. It is necessary to change the engine oil on time, the 1.3 liter engine is unpretentious to the quality of gasoline. It works much quieter with a belt, but it has to be replaced after 60-65 thousand kilometers. The weak point is the crankshaft oil seals, which begin to leak oil ahead of schedule. The rest is an ideal car.
- Alexander, Saratov. In general, after driving a Hyundai Getz for six years, I can say the following: the 1.3 liter engine is of high quality, but not without weak points... A common sore of it is the "zhor" of oil. You have to constantly add, also oil through the gasket valve cover leaves. I had to change, and more than once, the problem disappeared for a while, but after that it returned again. High-voltage wires often suffer for an incomprehensible reason. Replacement costs a couple of thousand rubles, if you do not change, the speed starts to float, the engine is unstable at low speeds. What I want to say, the second time I will not take the "Korean", it is better to take a Toyota with a run.
- Vasily, Volgograd. The 1.3 liter engine first of all needs to be secured against rupture of the belt drive, otherwise expensive repairs will be required ahead of time. It is best to change the belt after 60 thousand kilometers, then it begins to stretch and break. One should not exclude the factor that in the harsh climatic conditions rubber cracks faster, which also develop into a rupture afterwards. If it breaks, the valve will be severely damaged, in general, a headache above the roof. In 2004, I passed 220 thousand on my car, and then I sold it. The resource of this engine is 250 thousand best case, from my own experience I will say that this is the worst modification of the motor from the entire line.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Hyundai Getz are revealed based on feedback from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Hyundai Getz 1.1, 1.4 and 1.6 with mechanics and automatic machine can be learned from the stories below:
Owner reviews
Getz is the first car in our family. Bought mainly for his wife. Up to 60,000 km were served by the officials, then he began to do it himself. Last time, the cost of consumables (oil, filters, candles) amounted to about 4,000 rubles, of which most is oil - I fill in MOTUL and the cabin filter.
Despite running 102,000 km, the car does not let my wife or me down. Getz is what you expect and subsequently receive in return for the money spent!
All units and assemblies are reliable and time-tested. No variators, robots and other crap that complicates operation. The salon is spacious enough, in front with my height (186 cm) you can fit without any problems, although then only one will sit comfortably in the back. The quality of the paintwork is acceptable, the head light is excellent. Main criterion estimates - contented wife driving Getz.
P.S. In this car, as I believe, is laid good idea- the idea of a reliable and simple car.
Review of the Hyundai Getz 1.6 on the mechanics of 2003 onwards
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. Comfortable and spacious enough for its size, it is comfortable to sit in the car. I have full set... The salon is quite roomy.
Average consumption. In terms of driving performance: the suspension is stiff, but it is excellent on the road, good cross-country ability in winter, almost nothing clings.
Cons: short gearbox, the rear passengers are shaking like a goat due to the light 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. At the moment, the mileage is 89,500 km, and as a memory I remember only a couple of visits to the store for spare parts. Serious breakdown there was only one in 85 thousand: in winter the hose burst high pressure at the power steering, the price of the issue with the work of replacing, making a new hose according to the sample and a new slurry in the power steering - 1 950 r. Nothing else was repaired or changed in the car!
When buying a 1.6 engine paired with a manual transmission, they bribed me. Switching gears on 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 3000 rpm. The fourth gear is very short, it would be more authentic, and the fifth could be taken out further, then it would have been more economical on the highway. But on the whole it suits me.
And how, living in Siberia, not write about cold starts. I have a new battery, but with a small starting current, it freezes at -25, so it is on auto start at -10 C. Twice I was sadistic and started the car without warming up at -32 after a day of inactivity, on a warm battery from an apartment with 7 "zips" both the first and the second time it started up.
Salon. It makes no sense to talk about the size, the class of the car itself implies that there is nowhere to walk the elephant. The only thing pleasantly surprised rear seats: if in Priora I sit down with difficulty, and even rest my head against the ceiling, then in Goetz I have no problems and no discomfort at all.
Backrests rear seats have tilt angle adjustment. Finishing materials without question. The seats are easy to clean, the plastic is not scratched. There are no crickets. Only in frost the 5th door creaks a little. But the stove is rather weak. Not to say that I once froze, but the 82-degree thermostat makes itself felt during short forays around the city.
Review of Hyundai Getz 1.6 (106 HP) with mechanics 2007
Appearance. Initially, Goetz never liked externally, he considered him too ordinary. After a year, I probably just got used to him, and he already seems cute. Of the minuses - the front bumper has a large overhang, you can strike curbs and paddle snow with it. The ground clearance of 130 mm is very small, when fully loaded it is very difficult to drive to the dacha, in winter you also cling to the pits with your protection or your lip.
Inner world. There is 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 unpretentious. The seats are comfortable, the lateral support is good, the driver's seat cushion is a bit short, after 3 hours of driving, I really want to stop and get out.
Driving performance. Probably need to start with the fact that the Getz is a car for two at most, and this is manifested not only in the ergonomics of the cabin, but also in driving performance... The car as a whole is playful, and there are no problems ahead of the track, but this is all true for a car with only two people. As soon as you need to take a ride to the dacha, and four adults are in the car, the agility melts, and the 1.4 engine is no longer enough, and if you also turn on the condo and throw things into the trunk, then it’s a pipe.
The suspension is very rigid, on flat road this, of course, is a plus - there is no buildup, but on bumps and potholes to respond in the steering wheel and fifth point. It drives well. The power steering allows you to turn the steering wheel with one finger in the parking lot, but at speed it becomes heavier. The zero on the steering wheel is quite clear, the steering wheel strives to return to it quite quickly, the car does not tire with "steering" on the track.
Review of Hyundai Getz 1.4 (97 hp) with automatic transmission in 2008
Inside "Gesha" is empty as a drum. The plastic is oak, but it never bothers me. Salon without Asian, simple, spacious, square and practical. With good visibility. Due to the equipment, the right window regulator and the right mirror regulator are sorely lacking. As well as an air conditioner. Not cabin filter, can be added, but did not ask this question.
The windows sweat in the rain, you have to twist the heater for heat. It takes a long time to warm up in winter, but it doesn't bother me much.
Outside. From certain angles, it looks like norms. From others, it looks out of proportion (due to the huge front doors). The rest is square and not pretentious.
Exploitation. The machine is used for different needs. I also chase her into the tail in the mane, but always with proper care and timely replacement of consumables. We traveled to the Crimea for a long distance. And so Tver, Tula, Belgorod, Peter - 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. Also, Getz carries various different differences, which, with the seats folded down, quite fit themselves. In general, the device is not whimsical. Strong body and durable, non-kill suspension.
Review of Hyundai Getz 1.1 (67 HP) MT 2010
