2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Not rust proofed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front rotors rusted; needed replacing at 22500 miles.
Front rotors rusted a second time at 39500 miles; this time not replaced, but resurfaced.
Right lower control arm rusted through at 43600 miles, causing a wheel to fall off the car 14 days after the warranty expired. "Good Will" reimbursement was denied.
