1999 Hyundai Lantra GLS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great, stylish, fantastic car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The light had been disconnected- no fault, just disconnected for show.
The Phillips CD player occasionally showed "CD ERROR", replaced under warranty. Got a brand new one, radio sometimes cuts out.
The break disk were making a high screeching sound. Dealer replaced under warranty.
Needed a break alignment. Dealer repaired it.
General comments?
The Lantra, slower than the smaller Accents, Excels to start of (which is good in a way). Once higher speeds are reached, it is a very good drive. Very smooth.
Air con and extras work like a dream!
