Hyundai Getz Prime 1.1 GLE my familys first car. Trust Me, I have done a lot of research before buying this car. And finally I got the car delivered on Oct 14th 2009. Till now, I have done 1400 Kms, 700 kms on highway and 700 on city. Here goes my opinion.


1) The car is Big at space as everybody else in majority reviews have said. A family of 5 tall peoplecan sit comfortably. Not only this, the 3 cup holders are good to have. The boot can carry luggage of 5 people for a months vacation.


2) The interiors are good. But biege interior is difficult in maintainence. They get dirty very soon. I would say any light colour interior is a pain to maintain in any car. But I feel the dashboard colour( dark grey) is good and very easy to maintain.


3) The ride quality. A journey of 150 Kms with 50Kms on pathetic village roads at a stretch you wont feel tiresome, not even a bit. The suspension is excellent. And the car just matches a sedan, as far as space & suspension is considered. I travelled with my family for about 400 kms in 2 days in villages with bad roads and everybody were just as good as they got in the car at the beginning of the day.


4) Power & stability . This is the debatable part. The gear ratios are a bit out of proportion for city driving. In a city like bangalore the gear most used would be the 2nd gear, which is not engineered properly for the city. But driving on a highway has no problem at all. I didnt feel it to be underpowered. with AC there is no difference in city but on highways car loses significant power on steep roads and overtaking is a bit pain.


The best thing is the stability. I was driving in the night with my family on a statehighway(with missing sign Boards on steep curves) and misjudged a steep curve at 80kph. at that moment all I could do was to turn the car as much as possible with less braking. The car responded amazingly well and was really stable.


5) AC - Initially wasnt cooling fast at all. But after 1000 Kms of using AC, cooling has become faster.


6) Mileage - The average was around 14km/lt for the first 1000 kms. I think 12.5 to 13 in city with full AC and probably 15 to 15.5 with 20% AC on the highways( Tank Full to Tank Full). I hope it would improve after first service.


7) Ground Clearence - Not much to worry about . But when the car is fully occupied and along with more luggage in your boot . You have to watchout for speed breakers in bangalore. I say bangalore has the worst engineered speed breakers, thanks to BBMP. I personally felt it when I was returning from my native place.


The Car hasnt stalled anywhere till now. But there was a minor problem with my friend who found the car turn off in a slow moving traffic and car refusing to start for 2 mins . Although, I have not faced this problem till now.


And coming to the addtions. I have a pioneer headset 2150 UB with USB support(5200). Rear speakers are Polk Audio DB 690(3800) and front door speakers are JBL S265(2500) which costed around 13 k . They sound really great. Velvet type seat covers for 3500. thats it.


I will post an update after doing 5000kms .


I could not wait till 5000Kms to report the problem in my new Car. Guess what, the battery is gone not even 1600 Kms. Although Advaith Hyundai service reached in 45 mins after my car stalled near my home in Banagalore. They said they are going to replace the battery as it is under warranty. tats something to cheer about after being disappointed with hyundai with such problems in New Car.
