Hyundai Getz 2010 Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Hyundai Getz 2010 reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
Hyundai Getz 2010: Excessive fuel use
You are right, it is far too high for that car. Going by Hyundai’s official figures you should be getting between 5.5 and 9.5L/100km depending on the mix of driving you’re doing. I would be making sure all is well with the engine and the electronics that control it, and check the exhaust to make sure it’s not blocked.
Hyundai Getz 2010: Coolant replacement recommendations?
We checked with Hyundai and their advice was to follow the service booklet as it is produced with specific recommendations for this market, whereas the owner's manual is a generic publication for many markets around the world. The shorter period is definitely the one to use.
Hyundai Getz 2010: Poor fuel economy
Hyundai claims your car should do 9.4 L/100 km in urban driving conditions. That's what they get under standard test conditions, and while that doesn't necessarily translate to the real world it is a guide as to what you could expect. On that basis your car is using too much fuel, but not enough to cause too much alarm at this stage. It is still quite new and the fuel consumption should come down as the engine beds in with more miles. I would take Hyundai's advice and monitor it through to the 15,000 km service and if it is still too high have the dealer run a diagnostic check on it.
