Hyundai Getz Philippines’ best subcompact car

Cathy and I did a significant amount of research in choosing the Hyundai Getz Philippines over its subcompact competitors the Kia Picanto, Honda Jazz, and Suzuki Alto, as well as the Toyota Vios 1.3. It helps that Philippine motoring experts agree with us. Here’s a reprint of what Top Gear Philippines had to say about the Hyundai Getz Philippines for 2006.

Best Subcompact Car
HYUNDAI GETZ 1.1GL

A typical choice for first-time car buyers, subcompact cars can carry the same level of sophistication and features commonly found in vehicles of higher classes. The Hyundai Getz 1.1GL combines its peppy engine and smooth five-speed manual transmission with surprising refinement and spaciousness. These attributes, along with an amazing fuel economy and an affordable price tag, make for a guilt-free driving companion.

Those were the main reasons we bought Gina: good fuel efficiency, a spacious interior, and a price that whupped all other competitors.
