1998 Hyundai Lantra SE Sports review from Australia and New Zealand
"Outstanding performance in all areas great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no mechanical problems at all with this vehicle.
General comments?
These cars if looked after will reward you with many years of trouble free motoring.
Its performance is outstanding for a 1.8.
The seats could be more padded and the cabin is very Grey.
Passenger and driver window tend not to seal properly at times due to the window rails "sagging"
With a good set of wheels and tires the Lantra will drive like a car worth twice as much.
Excellent car looks great drives great value for money would recommend to anyone.
