2000 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America

"A horrible waste of money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

For starters, I have had to get the car re-painted twice, which was covered by the warranty. They said a bad primer was used.

Both of my back windows have broken to where they will not roll up or down but just keep falling down.

The car accelerates very slowly unless you put the pedal down hard, which causes this car to have very poor gas mileage for something in its class. My truck got better gas mileage.

It has had multiple problems that only happen once but never again. Some of these problems have been a failure to start, hesitating, and stalling.

Everything in the car rattles. If you add that to the raspy engine, this car is very annoying to drive.

The cup holders stab my knee.

For the first couple months I owned it, a loud squeal would come from the front right part of the car while driving.

For about two days, my brakes squealed horribly.

Of course, the dealer can never find anything wrong. They always take forever to fix things also. Not including the time they had my car for two days yet, they didn't do anything to it. So, I missed work for no reason...

General comments?

You get what you pay for. Don't buy something cheap and expect it to not be cheap.

You are better off buying a used Honda or Toyota.
