Getz is sold with us for a year and a half; During this time, the model diverged more than 5200 units. The result of the Corsa for the same period is more modest: 1900 pieces. The reason is banal price. The simplest Getz 1.3 GL with air conditioning, a capacity of the driver, electric windows and immobilizer costs $ 9990. The price for the five -door Corsa Essentia starts at $ 12030, for which you will receive 1.2 liters under the hood, a driver’s pillow and immobilizer. The fundamental moment Hyundai offers its cars only in fixed equipment packages, while Opel works with a list of options: by order of Corsa, ABS, six pillows, climate control, hatch, a rain sensor controlled from the steering wheel, and many others can be equipped . Getz is not able to answer such a call. Yes, and he doesn’t need this, after all, buyers prefer cheap cars in modest trim levels.

And the disadvantages? Alas, they are too. Easytronic a compromise child, which determines the well -known limitations of its capabilities. In fact, the automatic regime is pseudo -automatic: in this case, the electronics union with mechanics turn into the unpredictability and slowdown of switching, accompanied by the same noticeable bite of the body. Kik-Dawn (transition to two or more steps down during acceleration) occupies almost eternity. Of course, all this manifests itself with active driving, because in traffic jams Easytronic does not differ from a normal machine gun. As you guess, the manual regime is also from the pseudo category: there is no complete control over the machine due to the same delays in the gear shift. However, it is funny to travel on the Corsa: working in one leg and a lively motor remove the voltage, and the alternative methods of overtaking promise small sizes. For example, to shed between the stripes. The main thing is to adequately perceive the machine and its Easytronic, do not treat them too seriously, not to demand the coherence and dynamics of a multi-liter engine with a type of type and degree.

The design of cars also vary greatly. Opel Corsa Creation of an old school, a classic five -door hatchback with glasses in the rear racks. Hyundai Getz more advanced. This is a modern city car with a high roof and a short hood, striving for a single -volume layout. Who came out prettier? The issue of exclusively personal preferences. With interiors, there is more certainty. Getz makes an unequivocal impression of a budget car, in which there is only the most necessary, although there are no complaints about the quality of materials and assembly. The Corsa Salon is inherent in the style, there is something that can be called the situation, so you feel in it at homely comfortable. Only the front chairs with an uncomfortable curved profile of the back are upset: the shoulders are deprived of support. However, this applies to many Opelian models. Getz, due to its wealing, requires a more vertical landing, but its seats are very good. Another plus in the piggy bank of the Korean machine an attractive dashboard with metal dials.

If we talk about driving comfort, the advantage will be on the side of the corsa. Her suspension easily extinguishes not only a road trifle, but surprisingly with adequately copes with serious defects, avoiding breakdowns and nervous shakes of the body. The machine is quieter into the salon only a small part of the external noise and the muffled sound of the engine. Getz also ignores small pits and cracks, but large irregularities are easier to remove it from balance. Inside, the motor is clearly heard at high speeds, road noise penetrates through sound insulation, and at times the fraction of pebbles through the wheeled niches reaches hearing.
Manageability of cars are very similar. The reactions are smooth and quite accurate, the gear relations are great, but they do not force it to the steering wheel, in both cases there is reliable feedback. Discrepancies are observed only in the nuances. So, in the nearoral zone, the hetz steering wheel is easier to rotate, but zero is not so pronounced here. With the corsa, the opposite is true: a clear zero position and the need to make great efforts when the steering wheel is deviated from it. This is a consequence of the ideological orientation and origin of machines: Getz is created for life in the city, Corsa should periodically travel to the autobahn and demonstrate stability when moving at speeds close to maximum. A similar picture with brakes: Hyundai's pedal is easier, the Corsa is harder, but more informative.
The time has come to take stock, but making an objective conclusion is not so simple. Corsa with an EasyTronic box is cheaper (from $ 12280 per three -door, from $ 12580 for a five -door version), more pleasant from the inside, more interesting in management and carries a more prestigious brand, respectively, a good resolving price and liquidity in the secondary market. Getz has a hundred percent machine, modern design, better equipped in the database (plus air conditioning and 14-inch wheels). And in Korean machines, warranty conditions are more attractive and recently these cars have appeared in dealers in stock. Wait or not wait for the question!
