1992 Hyundai Lantra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight globes (3), master cylinder at 25,000k, electric aerial, windscreen wiper delay (all under 3y warranty) and finally "extreme" upper engine wear (cams and rollers) at just 65,000k ("cause a mystery" Hyundai dealer).
General comments?
Heavy despite power steering. The 1.6 engine was gutless, especially when the air-con was on. When the upper engine started to get dodgy I traded it within a week on a new Mk3 VW Golf.
