Hyundai Getz: from Korea with love. Hyundai Getz: from Korea with love Why Hyundai Getz was discontinued

At the turn of two centuries, when mankind celebrated the new millennium with such fanfare and a year ahead of it (because the 21st century actually began in 2001, not 2000), marketers have noticed a significant increase in demand for subcompact car models ... The ambitious Korean concern Hyundai could not stand aside either. As a result, a concept called Hyundai TB was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall of 2001, and six months later, in March 2002, a serial baby flaunted on the Geneva podium. Hyundai getz.

Hyundai TB Concept "2001

Then many experts and journalists drew attention to the absolutely European appearance and interior design of the novelty. In fact, this was not surprising: the design was developed by the European engineering center of the Korean concern located in Frankfurt. The main highlight was the layout with a fairly vertical seating position, a high roof and an almost vertical rear door, which made it possible to increase the internal volume with very modest external dimensions. The car was positioned as a "global model" and was not sold only in the US, Canada and China markets.

Hyundai Getz "2002-2005

In 2005, the model has undergone a significant update. Firstly, the design of the front part has seriously changed, which has become more "Korean": the hood and fenders have become rounded, and the headlights have extended and become more "slanting". The power of the 1.1-liter engine increased to 67 hp, the 1.6-liter - to 106 hp, and the 1.3-liter "four" was replaced by an engine with two camshafts, a volume of 1.4 liters and a power 97 h.p. The popularity of the model continued to grow, although the collection of awards (in 2003-2005 Getz collected a whole bunch of prestigious titles) has practically ceased to be replenished.

In Russia, Getz did not become the same bestseller as, for example, in Israel. From the very beginning of his market career, he was hampered by the situation when those who had money for new car, preferred to buy more prestigious cars, and those who could not afford a new German or japanese sedan or an SUV, they preferred to buy a second-hand, but more solid car. Add to this the great prestige of sedans ... Well, urban kids in Russia have been and remain niche cars - either for women or for "educational youth". As a result, in 2011 no one expressed surprise that in Russia the Hyundai brand not only gave preference to the localized Solaris model, but also did not launch Getz's direct successor, the Hyundai i20, on the market.

Hyundai Getz "2005–2010

It would seem that the Getz story is finally over. But at one time, these machines were sold so many that their popularity on secondary market is still high, and on the Internet the owners are still willing to talk about their Getz. Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of reviews contain absolutely positive assessment models, although in almost every one it is pretty scolded. But I never found absolutely negative reviews filled with poison and hatred ...

Hate # 5: "Leggy is contraindicated"

What does a person looking at a particular car do? Naturally, he sits down and tries to get comfortable behind the wheel. In the case of Getz, not everyone succeeds. A long-legged citizen sits behind the wheel. To be honest, these babies are bought mainly for the wife, as a second car. Naturally, she has to move the chair back, and she immediately discovers that she has to reach for both the steering wheel and the gearbox lever or the machine selector, because the steering column is adjustable only in tilt angle. And if you move the seat to the front panel, then the legs begin to rest on the steering wheel, and you will not be able to lean forward without hitting your forehead against the visor.

Someone will find the seat harsh, someone will decide that he lacks lateral support, and in turns the centrifugal force strives to transfer him to the passenger seat. It will upset someone that the Koreans have saved money and were greedy to install a ceiling lamp in the front row area, limiting themselves to a lamp in the rear of the cabin. Someone will begin to complain that the interior is too ascetic, the plastic is hard, and the buttons and switches are unpretentious. However, there are not many of them, because the car was initially positioned as a budget one.

But a lot of people complain about too short seat cushions, not the best profile of the backs and an uncomfortable pedal assembly, especially since it turns out later, in the course of current operation. So people write that the clutch pedal is high and tight, which is why the leg in the area of the foot becomes numb in traffic jams. The same applies to the brake pedal: it is too tight, located above the gas pedal, and therefore it is not possible to smoothly move your foot from the gas to the brake. You have to raise your leg higher, and then the leg begins to swell already in the thigh area.

There is no complete unanimity of opinion about the profile of the seats: someone tells how he covered more than 1,000 km in one sitting and did not get tired at all, while after three or four hundred, someone's back turned into plywood and went numb in a completely hellish way. And literally every second review contains bewilderment about the lack of intermittent wipers.

And, of course, at first, the luggage compartment does not cause anything but disappointment: you open the fifth door, you see the rear seat headrests pushed almost to the rear window, and it starts to seem to you that nothing will fit in the trunk except a couple of bags from the supermarket.

Love # 5: "Rubber Gesha"

Yes, disappointment with a small trunk volume is expressed in almost every second review. Maybe the whole point is that the interior volume of the cabin itself produces just the opposite impression. The phrase "this car is much larger inside than outside" has long become, to put it mildly, common to many cars, but it fits Getz with one hundred percent accuracy. Not one or two people, who first appeared in the Getz salon, expressed themselves in the spirit of “wow, how big inside, but outside there is such a microbe ...”.

And during operation, many owners come to the conclusion that the trunk, it turns out, is not so bad. And by folding the back sofa (though you have to come to terms with the fact that the car becomes a two-seater), you can completely take away the devil with horns. The owners have verified that the cabin can carry washing machine(and not compact), assembled kitchen furniture, disassembled desk, adult bicycle (without removing the wheels), double mattress 140 x 205 and everything you need for a vacation in the country, including basins, troughs, buckets, clothes, bedding, food , slow cooker, kettle, pans and pots. Someone went on vacation, managing to shove four people and six bags inside. Someone was transporting half a ton of cement, and the car was driving, relying on springs, and not on rubber dampers. In general - our rubber "Gesha" ...

Hatred # 4: "And Then He Became A Bus"

Alas, with a full load of the speaker, Getz becomes a "bus" one. I ran into this myself when I took Getz on vacation with automatic transmission for rent. On flat roads everything was in order, but as soon as I entered the mountain serpentines, I immediately had a desire to jump out from behind the wheel and push the little car from behind. And there were only two of us in the car and two suitcases ... In general, if you are going to the dacha, and there are four adults in the car with luggage, all Getz's agility disappears somewhere: the 1.4-liter engine is no longer enough, and you can simply forget about overtaking, and if you turn on the air conditioner and put things in the trunk, then the matter becomes quite a pipe. Of course, 110 km / h the car somehow drives, but to accelerate faster, you need to rape the car. Yes, a 1.6-liter engine is much better in this regard, but for economic reasons, the bulk of sales fell on the average 1.3- and 1.4-liter engines.

By the way, all Getz engines can be called "hassle-free" even with very high mileage... The only disappointment can be their overheating. The fact is that the Getz cooling system is made in the following way: right behind the false radiator grille there is a large air conditioner radiator, and it is blown out first of all, and behind it there is a small engine radiator. The distance between the radiators is very small, so this space is constantly clogged with dust and fluff, and it is almost impossible to flush it without removing the engine radiator. And if the temperature overboard exceeds 30 degrees, at a speed of about 100 km / h after a while the indicator of a high coolant temperature lights up. You have to either go slower or turn on the stove.

And another operational problem is associated with small ground clearance ohm. The documents state that it is 135 mm, but independent measurements have shown that in reality the clearance under the crankcase protection is only 100 mm. The Getz body spars are located lower than the sills, and the subframe hangs low enough that jumps on the Geshe curbs are contraindicated. Getz cross-country ability is usually rated as absent or outrageously low. But there is still no complete unity in the assessment of Getz's cross-country ability: sometimes there are descriptions on the network of how the owners climbed in their cars where Makar did not drive calves. But they rather serve as proof of the thesis that an SUV is not so much a class of cars as a description of the character of the driver.

Love # 4: "I'm a jolly city reveler"

But on the other hand, many owners speak of Getz's winter opportunities with great respect. The car weighs a little and rarely gets stuck in the snow. Well, and if you get stuck, it’s not a big deal, it’s very easy to push such a baby out. But, apparently, it doesn't come to “one, two, took” too often. Most often, despite the fact that the instruction does not recommend slipping on trim levels with an automatic transmission, the owners still master the methods of self-swinging and getting out of snow ambushes.

But otherwise Getz can be called the "king of the big city." Here he has enough power (and even a 1.1-liter engine). The automatic machine is more than adequate, the speeds are switched quickly, logically, imperceptibly. From the stand, Getz fires cheerfully - however, only up to a speed of 60 km / h. In the city, you can drive with the overdrive turned off - that is, without turning on the fourth gear. This allows the engine to turn, and he loves this business. If you want even more drive, you can choose mode "2" and get even more vigorous acceleration to 70-80 km / h. In this case, you do not need to switch anything yourself. One has only to remember that even if you win a start from a traffic light, more powerful cars will still overtake you.

Braking dynamics is quite consistent with acceleration, especially in restyled cars, which have disc brakes instead of drum brakes on the rear axle.

But the owners estimate the suspension very differently. Some express their dissatisfaction with the fact that it is very tough, and that every road seam, bump or pothole will respond in the steering wheel and fifth point, while others, on the contrary, like the absence of rolls and sway and the fact that Getz turns like on rails ...

The compact size allows you to park either along or across and to crawl through "any hole". The lack of parking sensors does not create any difficulties - where rear glass ended, there the car ended.

Hate # 3: "Half a Year Bad Weather"

"There is no bad weather"? Not from the point of view of the Hyundai Getz owner! Here, the designers did not organize the work of the interior ventilation system in the most successful way. In many reviews, the owners complain that the windows fog up mercilessly in the rain. It is simply impossible to drive without the switched on air conditioner, but as soon as it is turned on, the lack of power immediately begins to be felt. You cannot open the window in the rain, because otherwise the rear passengers will be provided with a "light breeze with sea spray." Blowing glass helps badly, many advise to supplement rubber mats with additional, moisture-absorbing ones, and generally try to drag less water on shoes into the salon.

Salon Hyundai Getz "2002-2005

Visibility is quite on the level: the glazing area is large, you sit like in an aquarium. That's just water with windshield floods the side windows, which generally get dirty at the first opportunity, and very much. Due to the peculiarities of aerodynamics, the rear window is always dirty, and the "wiper" cannot clean it completely due to the large curvature of the glass in its upper part.

But the problem of fogging is inherent in the car not only in summer. Roughly the same thing happens in winter. You have to turn on the windshield blowing air from the stove and open the window, but at a speed of -25, the windshield begins to freeze. Some people recommend deleting for the winter cabin filter, after which comes happiness, perfect visibility and heat even at minus 40.

There are complaints about the long warm-up times, and since the Getz was produced at a time when steering wheel heating remained the prerogative of premium cars, many owners complain about the fact that they have to drive with gloves in winter.

In summer, on a hot sunny day, driving is also not very pleasant. The glasses in Getz are ordinary, not athermal, so on the one hand it freezes you with the cold from the air conditioner, and on the other hand it roasts you with the sun through the glass.

Salon Hyundai Getz "2005-2010

Love # 3: "I am an invisible bird ..."

The small car with the reputation of being "feminine" has one nice bonus: it doesn't interest the gallant "striped stick sellers" at all. That is, the cameras do not care what you drive, the humblest Getz or the pretentious Jaguar, but the traffic police at stationary and mobile posts do not see him literally point-blank and almost turn away when this urban weasel passes by. The invisible car may interest them only in order to see how a large bicycle in an unassembled form fit in the cabin of such a kid, and even a passenger (also, fortunately, entirely).

Hate # 2: Let's Live Together!

When the law enforcement officers don't notice you is good, but when you are not respected by other participants road traffic- this is already insulting and unpleasant.

Complaints that Getz are not respected on the road, they offend in every possible way, pinch, cut, beep, blink headlights and generally almost throw it to the side of the road, are found in very many reviews. Often, neighbors on the road are offended that they, so steep, were overtaken by some "mad stool" Porsche cayenne... Well, it begins ...

Those who have Getz, the second car in their family, which they drive only occasionally, and who do not encounter anything like this when driving a BMW, Mercedes or Lexus, react especially sharply to such behavior. Therefore, in many reviews there are calls to live together and not show disdain for those who are currently driving cheaper cars. All the more so - small ones. It’s impossible to offend the little ones, everyone seems to know that. But for some reason they still offend. Although many admit that lately this kind of behavior on the road is becoming less and less common.

Love # 2: "Love and Money"

I have already said that many reviews about Hyundai Getz are real declarations of love for this machine, despite the fact that these same reviews contain a detailed analysis of all the shortcomings and shortcomings? No? Well, then I say. Love - it’s like that, love is not for something, but in spite of everything. But there are absolutely rational prerequisites for loving "Gesha". For example, the low cost of spare parts and maintenance, which is mentioned in at least half of the reviews. But maybe this is all subjective? Judge for yourself.

Here is a specific example: MOT at around 220,000 km (!), Which was carried out this year. Replacement of brake discs, pads, crankshaft pulley, oil filter and oils in the engine and gearbox (MCP) - 11 800 for spare parts and 4 200 rubles for work. Another case: the car sometimes refused to start. The replacement of the temperature sensor helped: 1,300 original sensor, 500 rubles - replacement. Well, a complete bulkhead of the entire suspension using only original spare parts will cost 28,000 rubles.

All in all - a wonderful car. And in terms of cost of ownership, and in terms of unpretentiousness, and in terms of simplicity and maintainability.

Although I note that Goetz has some design solutions that do not fit into this formula. For example, a fine fuel filter located inside the gas tank, or the fact that a failed fuel gauge only changes with the entire dashboard, and it costs 24,000 rubles. But who would agree to this in the presence of a showdown, where the panel costs 3,000?

Hate # 1: "He ate too much ..."

Alas, the cost of owning a car is determined not only by the price of insurance, the amount of tax, and the price of spare parts and services. Fuel consumption is an equally significant component of this indicator, and here there is no unanimity among Getz owners. Some consider consumption to be one of the advantages of the model, but most attribute it to disadvantages.

Even drivers of cars with a younger 1.1-liter engine, who agree that the consumption in the city is about 7 l / 100 km, believe that it could be smaller. But the fiercest disputes erupt between the owners of the most common version with a 97-horsepower 1.4-liter engine. Some write that it sometimes seems to them that the pointer arrow has broken, because you drive and drive, and the fuel level does not decrease, one tank lasts 10 days, and the consumption in the city is 7-8 liters, and on the highway 5-6. Others are outraged - they say that the fuel consumption is the same as that of an average sedan, but with worse dynamics, and can reach 15 liters per hundred in city traffic jams, and 5.5-6 l / 100 km can be obtained only on an empty car with clogged windows and off the air conditioner at a speed of 75-80 km / h.

If we put all the evidence in one table, it turns out that the consumption on the highway in the summer is really about 6-7 l / 100 km, if you drive calmly, without sudden accelerations, at a speed of about 90 km / h. At a speed of 120, the flow rate rises to 8-9 liters, and in the city it dances around the figure of 10 l / 100 km. In winter, with constant warming up, the consumption really grows: for the highway per liter, for the city - by two.

And the consumption really depends on the individual driving style and on the peculiarities of operation - for example, on the load.

In any case, Getz causes cognitive dissonance in those who believe that small car should not drink gasoline, but sniff.

Love # 1: "Don't choose beautiful, choose reliable"

And yet, the overwhelming majority of owners consider the main advantage of Hyundai Getz to be its endurance and reliability. And there is a reason for this ... Indeed, look how many Getz ride on our streets, and many more pre-styling ones, and the model was no longer produced in 2011. So the owners write in their reviews: “ Great car... For 10 years I have never failed, even with a dying generator I drove more than 100 km to the city ”,“ Owned for seven years and it’s a pity to sell ”.

One of the reviews was written in the current year, 2018, and it refers to a 2003 car, purchased a couple of years ago, with a range of more than 220 thousand kilometers! But many are sure that buying compact cars at a respectable age on the secondary market means throwing money down the drain, since they will constantly break down.

The great number of such statements, which can be quoted endlessly, confirms the reliability of Getz even more than the dry numbers of statistics. But it is worth considering that many cars did not have the easiest life. Its owners were young people who pressed the trigger heartily and “burned the rubber”. The car often accompanied the formation of many young families and was sold only because life demanded to buy something bigger. Unfortunately, this “something bigger” was rarely more reliable than the old Goetz ...

What are your emotions when you see the Hyundai Getz?

The world-famous South Korean car brand began production of the Hyundai Getz model in 2002. The B-class subcompact is great for city trips. In 2018-2019, the design was completely changed and the shortcomings of the first versions were corrected. Changes to the main queue affected:

power - a new engine of 97 liters was installed. with.;
exterior and interior decoration;
exhaust system.

South Korean cars have always been famous for their low cost and ambiguous purpose. The situation is exactly the same with the new Hyundai Getz, which, it would seem, has undergone a minimum of updates, but itself has changed quite a lot.

A new version Hyundai Getz 2019-2020 model year has undergone strong stylistic changes in comparison with previous cars of this lineup... It is surprising that appearance cars is in no way associated with trim levels, except for those cases when a more advanced lighting system is installed.

The front part of the practically new car has changed especially strongly:

the hood has acquired smooth shapes and streamlined lines;
the headlights have increased in size and changed the material to plastic;
the radiator grill received a plastic insert located horizontally;
the front bumper has decreased in size and received narrow air duct slots, next to which the fog lights are located.

The rest of the external changes are better visible in the photo. It is useless to talk about the design in words, but it is worth considering the reviews on the Internet.

The new Hyundai Getz 2019-2020 has an extremely small cabin space, although the car was originally announced compact. Due to the small amount of space in the cabin, passengers in the back row may feel some discomfort, despite the fact that there is more than enough space above their heads.

The main advantages of the salon include the following factors:

convenient adjuster of the backs of the rear row seats;
the presence of three head restraints in the back seat;
the dashboard is made in a simple style and is devoid of any frills;
there are many pockets and shelves for various purposes;
the gear lever from the automatic gearbox and the mechanics is made of pleasant materials.

It is also worth noting the local electronics, which are directly related to the technical characteristics of the machine, especially if an automatic transmission is used. The standard version of Hyundai Getz 2019-2020 has:

air conditioner;
heated front seats;
ABS system, exchange rate stability;
track control system;
multiphase airbags;
belts with pretensioners;
fog lights.

The rest of the Hyundai Getz does not really stand out among other cars on the modern market. However, it is important to note that the main advantage of this car is still its specifications rather than appearance or additional features. This is also indicated by numerous reviews on the Internet from car owners.

More advanced Hyundai Getz without changing dimensions can be equipped with:

leather and aluminum decorative elements;
cruise control system;
climate control;
immobilizer;
additional airbags for the driver;
power steering rod.

The price of a model with such a complete set is Russian market may be in the region from 650 thousand to 800 thousand rubles.

Specifications

At the sight of the new Hyundai Getz 2019-2020, the visual design immediately catches the eye new car from the world famous South Korean company. Major visual cues include:

reduced body, making the car visually smaller;
increased ground clearance, guaranteeing better ground clearance;
the clear superiority of steel in machine designs, that is, at least plastic parts on the body.

It is worth noting that outwardly the car seems extremely small and unreliable, however, according to the assurances of developers, critics and, of course, car owners, this car guarantees the highest level of safety during the trip and has excellent technical characteristics. This, in turn, directly proves that the appearance in this car plays a minimal role, as does the price.

Body features

One of the main design advantages of this minivan is its luggage compartment. As a standard, the trunk of the Hyundai Getz 2019-2020 has extremely small dimensions, however, thanks to the folding rear seats overall dimensions luggage compartment increase to 1130 liters.

There are two types of cars in total:

3-door;
5-door.

Moreover, in any case, it has five passenger seats.

The big disadvantage of the body of a new car is not only its size (extremely relative), but also its high susceptibility to corrosion.

Engine and gearbox

Despite the fact that the price of a new Hyundai car Getz 2018-2019 is only 300-350 thousand rubles in any Russian car dealership, its technical characteristics will force any car lover to reconsider their attitude towards compact cars. In total, there are two types of engines with different technical characteristics:

4-liter engine with a capacity of 97 Horse power;
6-liter engine with 105 horsepower.

It is important to note that diesel engines the new South Korean car is not equipped - only gasoline engines are available in all sorts of trim levels.

Separately, it is worth evaluating the power capabilities of each engine:

a car with a 1.4-liter engine accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds, consuming 5.0-7.4 liters of fuel and reaching a maximum speed of 174 km / h;
a car with a 1.6-liter engine reaches 100 km / h in 9.8 seconds, burning 5.5-9.8 liters of fuel and gaining maximum speed equal to 175 km / h.

Each Hyundai Getz 2019-2020 model year is equipped with a modern 5-speed mechanical box gearshift or 4-speed automatic transmission.

Important! Buyers of the new Hyundai Getz will have the opportunity to purchase a car equipped not only with high-performance engines, but also with a 1.1-liter engine with 66 horsepower. This car option is the most affordable.

Electronics

A big advantage or disadvantage, depending on the opinion of a particular motorist, is electronics, which makes up most of the filling of the new Hyundai Getz. This is due to the fact that there is a very ambiguous opinion about electronics, which is fully indicated by the reviews of real people on the Internet.

According to experts who analyze the car, the electronics are perfect. During the operation of the car, as a rule, no serious failures and similar problems were found. Even the 6-speed automatic transmission in this minivan performed particularly well.

The new generation 2018-2019 Hyundai Getz made a pretty strong impression on me. As soon as I saw updated version urban runabout, I realized that it was not just a banal restyling, but a real reincarnation.

Subcompact appearance transformations

The front of the car has been transformed almost beyond recognition. The appearance has become more stylish, solid and presentable. The hood of the car has received soft, streamlined shapes and lines. The headlights have grown significantly in size and have become plastic. They resemble large petals in their shape.

The radiator grill of the new Hyundai Getz 2019 2020 is miniature with a wide plastic insert located horizontally. Front bumper perfectly complements the overall design with its miniature design.

It is decorated with a wide plastic plate on which the license plate is attached. The central part of the bumper is occupied by a narrow slot of the air duct, on the sides of which there are round fog lights.

In the photo of the 2019 Hyundai Getz, you can clearly see what the car has become from the side. The body roof is horizontal. Large side mirrors were equipped with turn signal repeaters. Wide black plastic pillars cut through the side windows. The horizontal sill line is duplicated by a clear stamping edge. Below you can see the wide black overlay.

The same overlay is available at the back. It runs along the top of the massive rear bumper... I liked the large window back door... In its upper part there is a wide visor. A brake light is located just below.

Little space in the cabin

The compactness of the machine makes itself felt. There is not as much space in the cabin as we would like. According to the owners of the 2019 Hyundai Getz, the back row passengers will not feel very comfortable. But there is more than enough free space above your head. All this thanks to the flat roof of the body.

The seats are comfortable enough with a lot of adjustments. In addition, the backrests of the rear row seats can be adjusted, which was impossible in the previous version. Also at the back are not two, but three headrests. But adjust steering column will not work in any way. It simply does not have such a function.

Pleased with the presence of pockets, shelves, stands for various little things. Dashboard executed simply, no frills. It has a rectangular design with round sensor and deflector windows. I really liked the pleasant amber green lighting, which relaxes and soothes.

The quality of finishing materials is not at the highest level. In my opinion, it lacks practicality and reliability. Plastic is harsh and has a habit of creaking in the cold. The review is not very good. It is hampered by the wide struts and the low seating position of the driver's seat. And this despite the panoramic design of the windshield, the area of which has been increased. Of the modern options, the equipment includes:

immobilizer;
cruise control system;
fog lights;
airbag for the driver;
heated front seats;
pretensioners for seat belts.

Two engines for Russia

The new Hyundai will arrive in Russia with two variants of power equipment. It will be two gasoline engine with a high level of efficiency. The creators managed to improve the technical Hyundai specifications Getz 2019 2020. I have given some indicators in the table below.

As modern transmissions, a 5-speed "mechanics" or a four-speed "automatic" is offered. The front suspension is independent, the rear is semi-dependent. Buyers will also have the option to purchase a car with a 1.1-liter engine that has 66 hp. It is also installed on.

Three configurations of the 2019 Hyundai Getz will be offered on the Russian market. The basic version is available:

ABS system, exchange rate stability.
Air conditioning.
Multiphase airbags.
Belts with pretensioners.
Track control system.
Heated front seats.
Fog lights.

This version will cost from 500,000 rubles. More expensive trim levels are available:

leather and aluminum decorative elements;
cruise control system;
climate control;
power steering;
immobilizer;
airbag for the driver.

The price of this version of the new Hyundai Getz 2019 in the showroom will be 650,500 rubles. The maximum execution will cost 780,000 rubles.

Analysis of competitors from the market

Among the small cars, you can find worthy competitors of the 2019 Hyundai Getz. For example, Peugeot 206 and VAZ Kalina... I liked the appearance of the Peugeot more than that of the Hyundai. The car is reliable, high-spirited and agile. Even when laden, Peugeot accelerates quickly. Responds to driver commands instantly.

In winter, the interior warms up quickly. Electronics works like a clock. The big advantage is the high corrosion resistance of the body. Wheel turns gently, making it a pleasure to drive. A serious blunder for Peugeot is the interior noise insulation, which is practically absent. In sunny weather, it is very difficult to see the readings of the instruments. In severe frost, starting the engine the first time will not work. I also note the uncomfortable seats, stiffer suspension and small trunk.

A real breakthrough for domestic Kalina became a clear work of electronics. The stove works so that you can drive with the windows open in winter. The car is high-spirited, dynamic and behaves well in tight city traffic. Unlike Hyundai seating in Kalina comfortable, have excellent lateral support. Last but not least is the quality of finishing materials. But the corrosion resistance of the VAZ is very low. Literally after a year of operation, a major overhaul is required.

Not in favor of Kalina high consumption fuel, stiff suspension, poor build quality, and erratic paintwork... The disadvantages I also include poor sound insulation, a small trunk, a small interior.

To the attention of the buyer

The advantages of the Hyundai Getz include:

good body design;
clear instrument panel;
the low price of the 2019 Hyundai Getz;
good acceleration dynamics;
low fuel consumption;
effective brakes.

The negative points are the following disadvantages.

Inconvenient chairs.
Low seating position of the driver.
Small salon and luggage compartment.
The tendency to deviate from a given trajectory.
Rigid suspension.
Poor insulation.

H yundai Getz was exclusively front-wheel drive, and the design of the drive 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 performance is lame.

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

Both the differential and gearbox gears suffer from oil contamination. If you tighten it up with repair, then often there is nothing to repair: a jammed differential will break the body and the main pair.

The reason for the rapid wear lies not only in poor quality original parts, but also as oil seals: the box leaks, and the oil level must be monitored in both. The 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 reliable way to repair the box is to overhaul with the installation of new bearings. To reduce the cost of repair, "used" 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 turn out to be higher than the price of a 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 assembled into the old box body. Boxes for engines 1.1 and 1.3 liters can be left with the "accent" case. Such repairs cost 12-30 thousand rubles, which is quite acceptable for the majority.

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

The cables also cause a lot of trouble. Their price is quite high, about 5,000 rubles, but you can get by with little blood: mainly the shock-absorbing thrust bushings in the engine compartment wear out. 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 Mitsubishi manual transmissions, but which ones, experts keep at the heart.

If you have a glimmer of hope that the automatic transmission is more reliable than mechanics, then I will disappoint you. In principle, the boxes of the KM family of the A4AF3 / A4BF2 series on engines with a volume of 1.3 and 1.4 liters and boxes of the A4CF1 / A4CF2 series with engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters are considered quite reliable. But in practice, closer to a hundred thousand mileage of the release box until 2008, and especially the boxes of pre-styling cars until 2006, start to be capricious. More recent automatic transmissions run 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 obvious weak points or not, or they appear at high mileage. But the A4AF3 box was reworked during the transfer of production to Hyundai facilities, and the adjustment of production affected the quality. A small resource of solenoids and sensors, overheating due to a weak cooling system and associated oil leaks have a bad effect on the operation of the automatic transmission. It can be assumed that most of the first releases of automatic machines of all series have already undergone medium repairs, at least with valve body repair, and for those who like to drive "to the last", the box has undergone a complete overhaul.

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

The older A4AF3 / A4BF2 boxes, which are mainly found on cars before 2007, are Mitsubishi's heritage, 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 clutch pack usually burns out first.

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

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

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

Breakdowns of drums, unfortunately, happen often, and with runs of about 200 thousand they will almost certainly manifest themselves even among more or less accurate drivers. The 046 bushing fails less often than the Shell drum, but the consequences are much 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, are a lot of hassle. But the versions after 2008 have practically no problems in the mechanical part. Damage to the valve body of this box and its electronics are relatively budgetary, although the box is still not particularly durable and trouble-free. Before major repairs with replacement of the blocking lining of the gas turbine engine, most of the solenoids and revision of the clutches and pump sleeve, 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 its rare replacement. Also, the line pressure solenoid fails regularly during operation at a standard oil change interval. The harbinger of his replacement is the blows when the D and R modes are turned on.

It is also worth checking the wiring of the solenoids, which is quite fragile here and is very afraid of vibrations (change the engine and gearbox mountings in time). A block of shifting 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 change them, and if you have already changed the linear solenoid, the wiring is intact, but there are still blows, 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 before restyling with automatic transmission, especially cars with a 1.6 liter engine. If you need an automatic machine, then see cars with A4CF1 / A4CF2 boxes after 2008 with a 1.4 liter engine. This will be a relatively reliable and budget option.

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

Motors

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

A cast iron block, a timing belt drive, hydraulic lifters and a fairly massive piston group give a good margin of safety for any operating style. But the resource is not at all limitless, and due to the design piston group a small oil appetite is already present closer to a hundred thousand run. It increases greatly during overheating due to death valve stem seals and leaks in the oil seals of the motor. 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 where it is better to sort it out due to oil consumption. And if you roll another 60-70 thousand, then you will have to make a full-fledged "capital" with the installation of a repair piston and full restoration of the cylinder head.

The belt should be renewed every 60 thousand kilometers 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, in the process of operation, many small troubles can arise, and the older the motor, the more trouble. Floating RPM due to dirty throttle and governor idle move on old motors - it's a common thing, they need to be washed. A dirty intake is also not uncommon. With runs of more than a hundred thousand, you can encounter a knock at the timing due to failures of hydraulic lifters, which are not entirely successful here (for amateurs budget repairs- Ina compensators from VAZ stand here). To the credit of the motors, the problem is mainly connected 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 concerns cars with mileage up to 100, maximum 150 thousand kilometers. Further, the motor is still running, but it begins to demand more and more insistent attention. Apparently, the Korean manufacturer did not particularly count on a greater resource.

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

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

Summary

Lured by the low cost of parts, many conclude that the Hyundai Getz will be just as cheap to operate in general. But no - if in service it is cheaper than other foreign cars, then not much. The problem is that the reliability of the car was inherent mainly at low mileage. Up to 150 thousand kilometers, the car hardly asks for investments, but then small and not very problems begin. And if the cars were lucky with the engines, then with the manual transmission and with the automatic transmission of release until 2008, it is not very good. 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 small work with your own hands, but rely only on services and bring any malfunction to breakdown.

Goetz has enough pros, but think hard before buying this car. And don't forget about thorough body diagnostics.

Expert opinion

Hyundai Getz has a number of advantages that distinguish it from other subcompact cars: budget price, relatively cheap service and the absence of serious sores. This is a great option for any driver who does not pursue large dimensions and, at the same time, does not impose increased demands on the driving qualities of a car.

For some reason, Hyundai Getz has long established a reputation as a purely female car. In fact, this is just a stereotype. According to our practice, almost half of the owners who buy and sell these cars are men.

Find "Korean" in perfect condition 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 bodywork. The minimum that awaits you is chips, scratches and abrasions. 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 design of the car itself, but of the owners, who in most cases delay the trip to the service station to 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. Moreover, both on the machine 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 using mechanics.

Hatchback prices are highly dependent on the region of sale. If we consider the restyled cars of the last year of production with the most popular engine 1.4 (97 hp), then the 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 Krasnodar Territory market are an order of magnitude more expensive: with automatic transmission - 350 thousand rubles, with manual transmission - 320 thousand rubles.
