2008 Hyundai Elantra X20 review from Malaysia
"Average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel consumption is bad. Not what the dealer claimed. Averaging 8KM per liter. Dealer claimed 11KM per liter. Driving less than 3000RPM and less than 100KM/Hr on normal city driving. After performed 1st 1000KM service, they checked the timing for fuel consumption, but still the same.
General comments?
For the price of less than MYR94,000, and within this class, it's a good buy.
This car has good handling, is very comfortable. Comes with leather seats.
However, during morning start-up, the engine is very noisy. After awhile, it quiets down. Very quiet inside the cabin. Response is not that good.
