Hyundai Getz where. The real resource of the Hyundai Getz engine

In 2002 the South Korean Hyundai announced the start of production of a compact hatchback Hyundai Getz. The model is called differently on different continents, for example, in India it is Getz Prime, and in Venezuela Dodge Brisa. The Koreans managed to collect amazing car, which has nothing in common with other developments of Hyundai Motor Company engineers. The design of the hatchback is more like the brainchild of the German or Japanese car industry.

It is for the appearance and high performance characteristics the model quickly gained high popularity. Potential buyers also see South Korean-made engines as attractive and reliable, which have managed to prove themselves only from the best side during all this time. Let's talk about the resource of the Hyundai Getz engine, and what problems the owner risks encountering during the operation of the car.

What engines were equipped with Hyundai Getz?

The line of power units Hyundai Getz is not replete with a special variety, but there is still plenty to choose from. Until 2005, three different power plants were available to the buyer: 1.1 SOHC, 1.3 SOHC, 1.6 DOHC. But after the manufacturer decided to abandon the 1.3-liter engine in favor of a 1.4-liter modification. So a new power unit appeared, which later became the base for a subcompact car. All three motors are considered quite economical, due to their small volume and power.

Top equipment Hyundai Getz was equipped with a 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 105 Horse power. This engine was aggregated with a manual or automatic transmission. The average engine and in most cases the most appropriate is still considered a 1.4-liter engine. The power of 97 horsepower is enough for a comfortable daily movement through the streets of the metropolis. In addition to modifications with mechanics, you can also find a version of the car with a 4-speed automatic.

How many "run" these engines?

The model was discontinued in 2011 when the miniature Hyundai Getz was replaced by a new 5-door. But, despite this, many motorists are not opposed to acquiring a development of a South Korean automaker that is successful in every sense. Power 16-valve units are known for their reliability and unpretentiousness. G4EE engines marked by the manufacturer, with proper, high-quality, timely service, “walk” at least 300 thousand kilometers. The motors are equipped timing belt, hydraulic lifters, which in some cases can knock on the "cold".

Appearance extraneous sounds in the operation of a cold engine does not always indicate a malfunction in the car's system, sometimes sounds can be technological feature work of a certain modification power unit. The Hyundai Getz cylinder block is made of ductile iron, but the cylinder head itself was made of aluminum alloy. A distinctive feature of the 1.4-liter engine is the presence of two camshafts, the functioning of which is possible due to the combined timing. A similar design cannot be found, for example, in the device of 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 occurs less frequently - 80-90 thousand km. At this point, the chain stretches and begins to ring. In general, all the power units of a subcompact car are resistant to adverse factors, reliable and picky. The first more or less energy-intensive repair may be needed during the passage of the first 60 thousand km - it will be necessary to replace the crankshaft oil seals. Spark plugs with low quality fuel in rare cases "live" longer than 30 thousand km. Rest possible faults and real numbers Hyundai Getz engine resource will be highlighted by owner reviews.

Engine with a volume of 1.1 l

  1. Yuri, Barnaul. I have a 2008 Hyundai Getz with a 1.1L 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 parking space in the supermarket. During this time, I changed the crankshaft oil seals, I have already changed the timing belt twice. The engine itself is unpretentious, with our fuel it feels quite good. It is also best to change the engine oil before it is supposed to, here already, whoever likes it. I think that it is not necessary to say that it is also necessary 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.
  2. Valentin, Krasnodar. Probably, I was one of the first who got a glorious 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. I always purchased only original consumables, if possible, I replaced them myself. Never had any major engine problems. I changed the timing belt in time, it is best not to wait until its time comes. The compression in the cylinders is still normal, I also changed the wheel bearing, nothing more. I'm sure with quality maintenance Goetz will pass 400,000 and even more kilometers.
  3. Maxim, Moscow. Hyundai Getz took in 2004, 1.1 liter engine, mechanics. A mileage of 200,000 km, a power of 66 forces is enough for Moscow, the only thing is that there are no hydraulic lifters in the 1.1 liter modification, after every hundred thousand runs, you need to adjust the gaps. Recently I was at the service station, they changed the belt, the masters said that the motor was still in good condition, it will take at least 300 thousand, but then the prospects are not the best. The Getz 1.1 liter engine cannot be overhauled, the cylinder block cannot be lined, and piston replacement is also virtually impossible. Therefore, to all owners of this little "miracle", do not count on a resource of more than 300k.

The owners of the Hyundai Getz modification also confirm the high resource of the power unit, which reaches the mark of 300 thousand kilometers. Many owners are satisfied with the level and build quality of the motor, its unpretentiousness, stability and speed.

Power unit at 1.3

  1. Nikolay, Rostov. I had as many as two Hyundai Getz between 2002 and 2011. Initially, I started operating this car with a 1.3-liter engine under the hood. Very reliable, high-quality assembled power unit. Despite its poor 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 in 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. Other than that, it's a perfect car.
  2. Alexander, Saratov. In general, having driven a Hyundai Getz for six years, I can say the following: the 1.3 liter engine is of high quality, but not without weaknesses. His common sore is the “zhor” of oil. You have to constantly add oil, also the oil drains through the valve cover gasket. I had to change, and more than once, the problem disappeared for a while, but then returned again. Suffer often for reasons unknown to me high voltage wires. 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 is that I won’t take a “Korean” a second time, it’s better to take a Toyota with mileage.
  3. Vasily, Volgograd. The 1.3 liter engine must first of all be protected from breaking the belt drive, otherwise expensive repairs will be required ahead of time. The belt is best changed after 60 thousand kilometers, then it begins to stretch and tear. Do not exclude the factor that in harsh climatic conditions, rubber cracks faster, which also later develop into a gap. If it breaks, the valves will suffer greatly, in general, a headache through the roof. On my car in 2004, I passed 220 thousand, after which I sold it. The resource of this engine is 250 thousand at best, from my own experience I will say that this is the worst modification of the motor from the entire line.

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.

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 the global production of the model gained full speed, Koreans decided to restyling. The car received more rounded headlights, an updated grille and taillights. 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.

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 are listed serial equipment after renovation in 2005.

In a car of this class, there is almost never room for a complex suspension scheme or a technologically advanced transmission. The thesis is also true for the Hyundai Getz.

According to the results of crash tests EuroNCAP Hyundai Getz earned 4 races.

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 valve clearance compensators. The rest of the engines are also equipped with hydraulic lifters. The 1.6-liter engine has a variable valve timing system and two camshafts in the block head.

Engines usually easily cross the line of 300,000 km. Then oil consumption may increase, to eliminate which you have to update valve stem seals(20 rubles for pieces and 10,000 rubles for work). cases overhaul meet after 400-500 thousand km (about 40,000 rubles).

All petrol units equipped with a timing belt drive, which must be replaced every 60,000 km. Hydraulic compensators wear out after 200-250 thousand km, which leads to very noisy engine operation immediately after starting.

With age, the flexible connection of the exhaust system burns out (corrugation - from 1200 rubles). After 200-250 thousand km, the starter can mope (from 4,000 rubles for an analogue). One of the engine mounts also surrenders, as a tangible vibration will tell you (3-5 thousand rubles).

After a while, the valve cover gasket begins to snot, as well as the crankcase ventilation system and the oil separator (located at the top of the valve cover).

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.

Transmission

A choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic was offered.

Transmission repairs are rare. The clutch usually runs over 150-200 thousand km (5-7 thousand rubles per set). Over time, the gear selection mechanism (the so-called "helicopter") wears out.

Repair of the machine may be required only after 300,000 km. However, after 100-150 thousand km, the gearbox shaft rotation speed sensor is sometimes rented (2-3 thousand rubles). Replacing it is pretty easy. And due to a break in the wiring of the Over Drive button, 4th gear stops turning on.

Chassis

The front suspension is a classic MacPherson strut and the rear is a torsion beam.

In front, the struts and stabilizer bushings are pretty quickly out of the game. After 100-150 thousand km, the silent blocks of the front levers may become unusable (from 200 rubles for an analogue). The greater the mileage, the less chance of a quick and easy replacement. Over the years, the bolts in the inner metal bushings of the silent block turn sour. You have to cut the lever (from 1600 rubles) or the subframe. Ball bearings usually go longer than salent blocks.

Behind - shock absorbers wear out prematurely (from 800 rubles for an analogue), and sometimes anthers begin to knock. Due to the separate arrangement of springs and shock absorbers, replacing the latter is cheaper and easier.

Front wheel bearings (from 500 rubles for an analogue) can hum after 100-150 thousand km. External CV joints (from 1000 rubles for an analogue) usually go over 150-200 thousand km, and they usually give up because of torn anthers.

After 200-250 thousand km, the steering rack may knock or leak (from 8,000 rubles for an analogue).

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.

Getz owners complain about the unsatisfactory quality of the paintwork, which is vulnerable to the slightest scratches, and sometimes even peels 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 high-voltage wires fail. Problems with the central lock, tailgate lock and ABS sensors (contact oxidation) are another typical sores of this model.

With age, door stops wear out (repair kit 1000 rubles), and the washer motor fails (from 400 rubles). In addition, the insulation of the wiring located in the protective corrugation connecting the body and the tailgate is destroyed. Sometimes the tidy starts to "fail" - soldering is required. The new shield is too expensive - 31,000 rubles.

Conclusion

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 the consequences of possible accidents will be quick and easy.

Among the ads, it is quite possible to find a still young and already inexpensive Hyundai Getz. In addition to an excellent price-to-age ratio, 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 not of the best quality. 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. Engine roughness is usually caused by faulty high voltage wires.
  • 2. A 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 replacements.

We list the weak points of the once very popular small Hyundai hatchback in Russia, and also advise how to choose such a used car and not regret it.

The small Korean Hyundai Getz hatchback, which appeared on the world market at the beginning of the 2000s, conquered Europe and Russia, breaking into the shortlists of the B-class segment bestsellers. He was willingly bought both as the first car and as a second car in the family. In the three years since its inception, Getz has sold more than half a million units around the world.

In our country, 50,000 such hatchbacks were sold in the first five years. On this occasion, the Russian club of owners of the model even organized a 9-kilometer run with a column of 137 Getzes.

The popular budget model was replaced by a more fashionable, stylish and modern Hyundai i20. And soon after his exit, both cars gave way to Russian market now living in the second generation of Solaris. However, on sale you can still find a fairly large number of three-door and five-door Hyundai Getz. Demand for them secondary market due to the amazing survivability of the car and even more attractive prices than before, comparable in cost to a used first-generation Kalina. At the same time, the “Korean”, even in age, surpasses it in quality and reliability.

2001 prototype Hyundai TB Concept.

"Euro-Korean"

Getz was one of the first Hyundai models developed in Europe and for Europe. The compact hatch was created by engineers and designers at the company's European headquarters in Frankfurt. The prototype of the model under the name TB Concept was first shown at the Tokyo motor show in 2001, and the Koreans showed the serial 3- and 5-door hatches to the world a year later in Geneva. In the same year, the production of the model started on Hyundai factory in Ulsan in South Korea where the cars were delivered from, including to Russia.

Initially, Getz was offered with us only with two atmospheric gasoline “fours” 1.3 and 1.6 with a choice of mechanics or automatic. However, after the hatches were updated in 2005, the model received a junior 1.1 engine that was previously inaccessible to Russians. And the former unit 1.3 was replaced by a more powerful 1.4. The Goetz's most capable engine got one more horsepower. After restyling, Korean hatches received new bumpers, less angular head optics, revised taillights, and a different grille.

The interior has become more colorful. The steering wheel with a slightly modified shape, as well as the upholstery, the Koreans began to partially paint in blue and red for an extra charge. And the instrument cluster has also changed, and a backlight appeared in the glove compartment. In addition, Getz has become safer. The front head restraints are active and the front doors have been reinforced internally with beams for better side impact protection. In this form, hatchbacks were delivered to us until the end of 2010 and were produced until 2011.

On sale

Hyundai Getz was often bought as a family car for the city. And in a metropolis, the number of doors and their size for the convenience of opening in a parking lot near work or at a hypermarket is of considerable importance. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the secondary market the model is mainly offered with a 5-door body (93%), although 3-doors (7%) are also found. Used cars equipped with a 5-speed manual (64%) are sold twice as often as those with a 4-speed automatic (36%).

More than half of the used Getz are offered with a 1.4 engine (61%), which appeared in the model after restyling. The second most common aggregate in ads is its predecessor 1.3 (20%). Cars in the simplest configuration with a low-power base engine 1.1, which was available in tandem only with a manual gearbox, are rare in the secondary market (11%). However, used hatchbacks with a top-end 1.6 engine are even more difficult to find on sale (8%).

Body

A primer with a zinc content under a layer of paint protects the Getz body metal from corrosion quite well, and cars that are well-groomed and additionally treated with anticorrosive immediately after purchase may not look presentable at all. Nevertheless, Korean hatchbacks have enough weak points that have been affected by the “red plague” over the years. This is the front edge of the hood, and the trunk lid, and thresholds, and wheel arches, and the bottom, as well as the ends of the doors. But there are also purely cosmetic flaws that appear over the years “not affecting the speed”, spoiling the impression of the car. For example, rusting wiper leashes.

And peeling paint on plastic door handles, cloudy worn out block headlights of head optics worth 5900 rubles for each. Plus, on a rather thin, according to the reviews of the owners, metal, not only chips, but also small dents remain from the ingress of stones. They should be painted to prevent corrosion. During the inspection, it is necessary to weed out cars that have been in an accident and poorly repaired. In addition to color differences and uneven gaps between the panels, they may have unequal glass markings, factory stickers in the doorways are painted over, and traces of removal and installation are visible on the heads of the fender and hood fasteners.

Engines

In general, all in-line atmospheric "fours" (12-valve 1.1-1.3 and 16-valve 1.4-1.6) under the hood of Hyundai Getz proved to be surprisingly unpretentious and quite reliable. Even despite the rust that appears over time on various elements of the power unit due to its insufficient protection from dirt and moisture from the road. Timing drive for all motors is belt. It is less noisy than a chain, but it also requires replacing the belt from 750 rubles more often. Instead of the prescribed 60,000 km, it is better to change it after 50,000 km to avoid costly repairs after the pistons and valves meet. Sometimes the belt breaks prematurely.

When inspecting the machine, make sure that there are no oil leaks on the engine. By the time the timing belt is replaced, crankshaft oil seals from 300 rubles can begin to miss it. The 1.3 engine often suffers from oil leakage from under the valve cover. The problem is treated by replacing its gasket for 500 rubles. A used Getz may also need high-voltage wires for 1200 rubles. Due to current breakdowns in them, the car may have traction failures during acceleration and jerking at low speeds. Problems with starting the engine and a burning lamp check engine often solved by a simple replacement of candles for 140 rubles. But in vibrations and knocks under the hood on a run of 160,000 km, exhausted power unit supports of 4900 rubles each can be guilty.

checkpoint

Five-speed mechanics are not in vain found on the Goetz more often than automatic transmissions. It is more reliable and unpretentious, although it is also not without weaknesses. Periodic replacement in it may require gearshift cables for 3,000 rubles. They serve about 60,000 km. For about 80,000 - 100,000 km of run, you will most likely have to change the "sweating" drive seals for 600 rubles and intermediate, as well as release bearings. But the clutch on the Goetz serves about 120,000 km and costs 5,000 rubles as an assembly. If vibrations are felt during a trip to the manual gearbox, most likely it is time to replace its pillows for 4,000 rubles. And the culprits for poor gear shifting are, most often, worn out synchronizers.

With a 4-band automatic, it's more difficult. Due to the lack of a cooling radiator, the gearbox may overheat. Especially if the owner likes fast starts. Shocks when you turn on the "Drive" mode - a common thing and are seen even on the new "Goetz". But when changing steps, the machine should not “kick”. The cause of vibrations, like the MCP, can be “tired” box supports of 7,500 rubles each. If during a trip to the automatic transmission you hear extraneous noises, whistles, hums, start-up delays are noticeable, and the oil smells like burning, say goodbye to the owner of the car and leave. This machine needs repair, and it will not be cheap. Buying a car with automatic transmission makes sense if you know for sure that you drove it calmly and changed the oil on time. Moreover, it is better every 30,000 km, and not after 45,000 km, as prescribed.

Rest

Brake pads on Goetz serve about 40,000 km. The front ones cost 2160 rubles, and the rear ones - from 1750 rubles. Rear shock absorbers for 1900 rubles "go" for about 60,000 km. Brake discs for 3200 rubles can last up to 100,000 km. The front shock absorbers for 1900 rubles and their support bearings for 600 rubles are able to pass the same amount. On this run, you may have to change the wheel bearings for 1200 rubles, the ball bearings of the front levers for 590 rubles and silent blocks for 350 rubles.

A knock in the steering mechanism when driving through bumps, which appears by 100,000 km, is treated by replacing worn rack bushings from 200 rubles. All sorts of minor breakdowns Getz rarely annoys. And most of them, in general, do not interfere with the car to drive. For example, many owners of this Korean hatchback are aware of the problem of a broken audio antenna on the roof. A new one costs 950 rubles. And sometimes the backlight of the buttons on dashboard, seat heating buttons and heater control dials.

Yes, and the backlight of the instrument panel also sometimes requires new bulbs. When inspecting the car, pay attention to whether the wheels are screwed with all the nuts on the car. There should be four of them. The wheel studs are weak and can sometimes break. New ones are inexpensive - 80 rubles each. Also check the operation of the rear wiper. Due to the gradual appearance of rust on its backstage, a mechanism worth 5,000 rubles starts to work slowly, and then fails.

How much?

Used Hyundai Getz is not an expensive car. Early pre-styling copies with a 1.3 engine and mechanics can be found on sale from 140,000 rubles. Prices for updated hatches in the basic version with a 1.1 engine and a manual gearbox start at 160,000 rubles. Most often these are cars with mileage from 150,000 km to 200,000 km, and sometimes more. Getz with a gun is unlikely to be found cheaper than 200,000 rubles. And for the freshest copies of 2010 and well-groomed cars of 2008-2009 with a range of up to 50,000 km, their owners ask about 350,000 - 400,000 rubles.

Our choice

The little "Korean" proved to be worthy, despite the already decent age. Given its unpretentiousness, reliability, as well as its low price and relatively inexpensive spare parts, Hyundai Getz is able to serve its owner faithfully for a long time as a compact family car for the city or a “workhorse” for every day. We at Am.ru believe that when choosing such a hatchback, it is better to give preference to more recent restyled cars with an optimal and therefore popular 1.4 engine paired with mechanics. It is quite possible to find such hatches with one owner in the TCP and a mileage of up to 100,000 km for 250,000 rubles.

The compact city hatchback Hyundai 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 is the most common 1.4-liter engine with 97 horsepower. 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 we talk about the classic problems of the 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. To others weak points Running mechanics include a weak steering rack, namely the leakage of the stuffing box, which subsequently turns into a repair of the entire rack.

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 a weak wiring of the rear 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 it into perfect condition, not a lot of investments will be required - approximately 20 thousand rubles. This amount includes a large maintenance and repair, plus a local tint of a couple of body parts. Total - 245 thousand rubles. I must say that the car is quite liquid in the secondary market. An eight-year-old hatchback will lose no more than 9-10 percent of its value per year.

Hyundai Getz discontinued in 2011, replaced by Hyundai model i20. In a similar configuration 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 when buying a used 8-year-old Hyundai Getz, taking into account the money invested in repairs, will be 300 thousand rubles.

As part of the international autumn Frankfurt Salon 2005, the Korean manufacturer presented updated version its compact bestseller, the Hyundai Getz. The novelty is the first, but rather deep, restyling of the first generation. The model received a new technical filling, a redesigned interior and more modern design.

It features a trapezoidal cutout, covered with a black mesh with tiny cells and a horizontally oriented overlay flaunting the manufacturer's logo. Under it, on the front bumper, there is an elongated air intake slot, on the sides of which there are round blocks fog lights. Special overlays on the body panels catch the eye. They play not only a decorative role, but also protect paintwork from minor damage.
