Today i went to purchase the second hand "2003 Hyundai Getz" .When i test drove the car i feel very nice,everything is nice in the car but one thing which it lacks is acceleration is bit slow,it response below my expectation, not like the manual transmission.

Hey Britty, i had the same feeling too (note that i did not use the word problem) but all this was rectified when i installed a performance air intake to my Getz. At first i was worried about it making my getz consuming more petrol but i was shocked when i clocked better mileage. I was shocked but when i consulted the mechanics they too confirm that a few getz owners got better mileage and performance in pick up when they did install one too. Hope this helps.

Hi getzgetz!

Can you give me some more information or links about this performance air intake that can be installed on Getz?

Thanks!

u tested the 1.3L getz right/
please dun compare your 1.3L 82BPH with the Mazda RX8 1300CC rotary engine.
do u know that the whole body weigh of the getz is about 1 tonne? it is about 1030kg+-

come on... the engine capacity is 1341CC then fetch a small and heavy body, and your weigh too, what do u expect?
aiyoi~...

Hello,
Each car is designed and will performed exactly (most of the time, I believe) to design when leaving the factory.

Then performance will change due to many factors. Go to this place and get some information.
