1999 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"Hyundai gives you a lot of bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Check Engine light came on a few times and the engine stalled, however this was the result of a wiring harness that had too much tension on it. It was easily remedied by just rerouting it.
The fabric for the seats are weak and separates at the stitching. When I take it to O'Hare Hyundai of Chicago Illinois they take care of these few problems I have had right away with no problems, and I get a free car wash every time.
General comments?
The Sonata lacks the power I like, but does the job pretty well. I have really enjoyed this car, and I am looking forward to seeing what Hyundai will do next. I hear that the Tiburon is due to be revamped and will offer a V6.
