turkeywing, go take a getz for a test drive and re-evaluate it after you've driven it.
it's very obvious you're gonna get a biased opinion asking on any 'one brand' forum :lol:

The new more top of the line Hyundai's are acceptable
Still not on par with the current Japanese lineup but a huge improvement on the cars they made only a few years ago...
Kia and Daewoo are still at an all time low
Hyundai is really the only major Korean manufacturer who has even so much as attempted to make something that might just pass as a car
However I would still take a late model used Honda over a brand new Hyundai
But if you must have a brand new car and you cant live with something thats maybe 2-3 years old then go for it...
Like I said Hyundai are better than they used to be
Hell I even considered at one stage buying one of those Hyundai SUV's
Daewoo is no longer Korean, they went into receivership I believe and GM purchased them. They might be still made in korea, along with a handful of "holden" cars but I dont think they have any input into the production anymoreQuote:

Seriously have you ever driven a Holden Combo or an Astra? Jesus ****ing christ they suck... a 1999 Astra's engine is so crap and noisy it's like driving something made in the the early 80's
Given the Vectras aren't all that bad but the interior is made from the same plastic they use to make Lego
At the end of the day it's the same shit, different hole
Honda FTW!! no doubt abt it.
I havent driven a Getz, but anything thats 13k brand new is crap.
hehehehe...
sorry im a Honda person..
i drove an automatic getz .. i seriously couldnt tell if i was accelerating so i checked if i was in [D] so i put the pedal to the metal and felt alittle movement
imo hyundais are fine if ur not a purist and jus want basic transport and do not intend to keep it any more than 5 years. after that the cheaper build quaility will start to come back to get you.
you think i let ya roll around in a hyundai?
this goes for the echo as well :/ and non vtec civics too ... i had to recheck if my food was on the pedal for the echo :/ and as for the civic its nto as bad, but the interior is WAYYYYYY SHITTER than astras/ any holdemns in general.Quote:

i got a gli 96' with 240 000kms on it. still runs like a dream not one wierd noise from the motor and most other parts are in tact aswell. lets see a hyundai getz do that after the 5 years warranty is up.
BOO to sub 15k new cars.. all end up to be nuggets.
compare that Hyundai Getz to a Toyota Corolla at same value i would take the corolla!
compare the Hyundai Getz, to a BMX.. ill take the BMX!
comparing it to a honda or any other brand i would not spend 13kon a new hyundai..
ek4's are goin or around that much buy them!
