The Small Car category, although the least glamourous of the categories, is one of the most important classes for consumers, as it represents more than 10% of all new cars sold in Australia. It is also competitive, with one of the largest fields of any class. So although small in size, the competition is a real clash of the sales titans and each has a lot at stake. These vehicles also make up the most accessible class of car, because of their price. They are often the first brand new car many people own, so value for money is very important to these buyers. For a contender to win the category it needs to be both well-priced and economical to run and repair. Hyundai has won this category a couple of times before, and this year the smallest of its range, the Getz, has come up with the right combination of keen pricing and long warranty to win the day. It takes the win over both its larger stablemate Hyundai Accent GL 3-door and the newcomer to the category, Honda Jazz VTi. Accent gets very close because of similar design and manufacturing practices, but the lower price and running costs of the smaller Getz is a factor. Honda Jazz has slightly better design and function, which provides more space and better ergonomics. It also had an edge with its performance on the road, but as one of the dearest in the class these strong points are not enough to beat the value of the Getz¹s overall package. Also as both the Hyundais have five-year warranties, the peace of mind this gives adds significantly to their strength in this class.
