2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Runs great but cannot always see in the dark!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint was flawed and had to go in for re-painting.
The clutch master cylinder squeaked and dragged. Had to be replaced at 3400 miles.
The speedometer and odometer stopped working for a day, then came back on. No explanation was available from the dealer.
The lights have started burning out. In only one week, the headlights then the side marker lights blew. Not all the lights are covered by the factory warranty.
General comments?
I like my Elantra, but quality issues would keep me away from Hyundai in the future.
