1999 Hyundai Lantra SE review from Australia and New Zealand
"A basic 'value-for-money' car that will not let you down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious.
Drivers side window has a nasty rattle (which I am yet to sort out), and there seems to be quite a bit of road noise.
General comments?
This car is no speed demon. It is slow to take off, but has more than adequate overtaking power on the highway.
It is light to handle and easy to park.
The seats are comfortable, and the radio/CD player buttons are so small that it's easy to become cross-eyed trying to work them out.
The car has not missed a beat over the last 20,000 kilometres. Very reliable, starts every time, runs well.
Good kill switch ensures that it is not a great target for thieves.
