Hyundai Getz 1.3 CDX
The Getz 1.3 CDX's level of refinement is high and includes: power-assisted steering, air-conditioning, electric front and rear windows, drinks holders , heated rear window with timer, interior light, intermittent wipe with variable delay (front), luggage compartment light, map reading light, rear wash/wipe, sunglasses holder, electric tilt/slide sunroof, digital clock, central locking, keyless entry and alarm, remote fuel filler release and electric heated door mirrors.
How It Looks - Exterior
The Getz was designed in-house in Korea and specifically aimed at the European market. The result is a contemporary styled attractive car with simple straight lines. The nose features wrap-around headlights and indicators. The large bumpers are inset with black rubbing strips to withstand minor dents. The CDX model also features alloy wheels and body-coloured door handles and mirrors.
How It Looks - Interior
The Getz design features the classic 'wheel at each corner' layout which maximises interior space. The interior is functional and modern in design with good quality plastics and neutral two tone grey fabric upholstery.
In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation
Sony single slot CD player and AM/FM stereo radio with 6 speakers. The sound quality was good but would prefer to see and integral system for security and also it is fiddly to remove the panel when you leave the car.
