1999 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"A very good value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
"Check Engine" light comes on if the gas cap is not screwed on tight enough.
My speedometer has been replaced because of the twitching.
Outside of the car gets dirty really fast. I take it to the car wash and as soon as I get home its dirty again. So I have to wash it by hand.
My spark plugs have gone bad, but the warranty covered them free of charge.
General comments?
The car is great. despite the problems above. I love this car and I can't decide if I should buy another Elantra or a Santa Fe.
The car has really good power and moves quite well. I've driven it in the snow and all I have to say is wow. The car plows through the snow with now problem at all. We live up on a hill and the snow was at least 5 inches deep and the car crawled up with no problem.
The inside is very well laid out and roomy.
The warranty is great.
All in all I love this car!!!
