2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor flaws, like paint on the rear bumper easily scratched. In the beginning there was a plastic smell in the car (for a couple of months).
General comments?
Very nice car and really inexpensive. Handles great, very strong engine (140hp), very stable, brakes are twice as efficient as in my previous car. Seats are comfortable, controls easy to use, lights quite efficient. The look of the car is great, roomy inside for its class, so far I had no problems with it, after 1,5 years and 20000km.
