2005 Hyundai Elantra review from North America
"Many design faults and low quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My wife's elantra needs a new clutch at 19,000 miles. The worker at Rick Case Hyundai laughed and said it would cost $2000.00 to fix and was not on warranty. I bought two cars, xg350, and elantra on my son's recommendation. Since then he has had a blown engine and various electrical problems. I have just finished reading many e-mails with the same problem on early clutch burnouts. Beware.
