i would agree these auto mags, at least in my opinion are very biased at times. i would say why not wait and test the top speeds and acceleration for ourselves? | |

They say Getz CRDi makes a good alternative TO the Swift, and not a good alternative THAN the Swift. Further saying that if money doesn't matter, take the Getz, otherwise you just cant go wrong with a Swift. Both the magazines are saying the same thing. Car for car- hyundai Getz is better. However, is hugely overpriced! Last edited by CrAzY dRiVeR : 16th November 2007 at 00:54. | |

A huge difference between the performance of both the cars. Getz Engine is directly imported from Korea thats why the performance is awesome and price is a big high (due to some taxes etc.). But my money is there simply on Getz CRDi. But because it is a hyundai. But because of the lovely Engine VGT under its hood. | |

| I think I will never ever buy a Getz CRDI in it's current form. A crazy powered engine under the hood and not even an ABS option! Ridiculous. Why can't it be an option atleast? I have more complains. The interior looks typical Korean with very cheap looking wood trim and good for nothing plastics with unmatching colours. Not my taste for a good car interior. The only reason to go for Getz is the solid construction when compared to Swift. It rattles much lesser. Eventhough, Getz shows it's age very early unless taken good care. It also sports the wrong (and crooked too) H in the automobile industry.  Guys! You have to understand, I'm the biggest Hyundai hater here na! I haven't test driven the car yet. (we have to sign some application form and wait for years it seems here) I can guess the driveability of the Getz won't be much of a fun in the city. And in the highways (where this car is supposed to be pushed above couple a hundred speeds) Getz may act like a boat due to the lousy suspension setup Hyundai makes especially for India. Swift scores well in both the departments. We have taken the Swift vdi to 170+ with 205/50/15" tires and it was begging for more on highway. Hyundai is now becoming prone to quality issues too. Critical parts failing, defective spare parts, not good as earlier service jobs, etc... See, I told you I'm going to complain. LOL! I love my Swift VDI. Now, waiting for the ABS equipped one to arrive home. Yes, a second VDI is coming soon to my parent's place. It has ABS and will get Pete's for sure. Dad didn't even want to consider the Getz CRDI after the marketing executive from Hyundai had an appointment with him. |

 If you havnt driven the car then how can you say Suspension being soft? If verna have soft suspension means getz crdi would also have soft one? I guess not. No Offense: "H" never had same core features like steering, seats, chasis, suspension, Over HYPES etc like "you know what i'm talking about". Dudy we had enough conversation bet. Getz and swift's built. Swift is a bit ahead due to engine as getz petrol is a 12v car i guess. Built quality? Space? Anyways forget it. read the next one common for both the cars no "H" no "Suzuki". Ok Guys!! anyone noticed one thing in Getz CRDi? If we compare disc brakes bet. swift and getz crdi. Getz CRDi have bigger disc brakes than swift. Swift: 194 mm disc Getz CRDi: 241 mm disc They are big disc in Getz CRDi. I would had gone for Getz CRDi and would had spend a lil bit amount for 1 more pair of disc. Ok tell me one thing... How many people have Swift with ABS? Swift can touch high speeds above 160 kmph on highways. How many people will take this VGT beast to 180-190-200 mark. Ok fine just for playing around one can take it to that speed. But Indian Roads are like wow! lol we cant even maintain a 140 kmph speed for long. I'm not saying ABS is not useful. Me myself have ABS in my car and saved me many times. thanks to abs but my ques is... Getz crdi can reach 160 kmph mark much much before than swift. and most of the people running swift without ABS. Either companies should give ABS in all the cars or people are not much aware of the ABS ? and companies are taking full profit of it. How many people knows what is ABS and whats the use of it and how to take full use of ABS. How many people steered their car left or right while applying emergency brakes with ABS installed? or How many people know they can easily steer the car? How many is quick to respond to ABS and having control over the car? Ans. Very few. It is the Indian Janta, who compromise a lot and happy with the low grade interiors and security measures and companies are taking full use of it. Indian Govt. is also responsible for it. They don't allow companies to bring good products at cheap price. In America, Security in a car is the first preference. Why Cars are so cheap in America if compared to India. We can have Sonata there at the price of Verna here. Concept Genesis just 30k usd there and here only sonata. If people buy swift without abs, then why not for getz? Why this thing is hyped? Anyone please ans. my ques. Thanx Last edited by Hyundai.Lover : 16th November 2007 at 08:12. | |

| Price apart Getz is far far better car/product compare to Swift anytime. I think most of the folks are always biased towards Maruti Swift. Apart from brand, I think one major factor that goes with Swift is Price which is SO much important to buyers in India. Even Homa Sorabji of Autocar India(CNBCTV18 Auto Show) gives biased views. Since he's Maruti,he talks about good of Swift while not cribbing about minuses too much. Where as for Getz all the minuses(especially price) are higlighted with lot of noise. So it depends which one you like, then you talk for that... For example, when we talk about Honda City, no one talks about price !! Some of my perspective on Hyundai, Getz may not be for masses, it could for niche segment who loves power. Agreed, it should have had GLS features, agreed it should've had ABS option. I think Hyundai too did bad job with that. It has VGT and they never use that in advertisment. Had maruti had VGT then everyone would have known by now. DDiS launch reached so well to common man where as only geeks like us knows the CRDI-VGT. Does anyone remember Sania with Getz ? and now deilvery of the Getz D only in Jan-08 last week or by 2nd week Feb-08 !!. Now thats very bad from Hyundai ain't it ? I admire DDiS Fiat engine of Swift,its color options,handling,good variants and thats pretty much it. I love Getz's CRDI VGT,space,built/ride quality,better ergonomics such as tilt steering large views/front and rear,rear seat flexibility etc etc. But not happy with how Hyndai is killing this car by bad promos,delivery time,lack of good variants(GLS,ABS etc). If I were Hyundai I would've launched Ex shr. 5.45-GVS, 5.65-GLS, 5.9 GLX but Hyundai doesn't think it cant make profit with above pricing -.I think Hyundai makes better Quality products than Suzuki. We are owners of 800/Swift and Accent CRDI/Getz 1.3GLS. I am making this comment without being biased to anyone. As customer you need good product, it doesn't matter who makes it Japan's H or Korean H. Honda,Toyota have recalled Civic,Accord's and many other models because of Quality problems. So this is very common in Auto Industry and no car makers is spared n recalls. People who talks that cheap Korean, this Indian, I feel are immature statements in this globalised world. Never underestimate anyone and Be appreciative of everyone. Cheers Anju |
