2000 Hyundai Elantra VE review from North America
"A great driving, smart looking, but expensive to keep on the road car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My oxygen sensor failed two months after I got the car.
The engine light is constantly on.
The oil pan bolt stripped after the first oil change.
The clutch went out at about 20,000 kilometers.
The air bag light came on at 65,000 kilometers.
There was a recall on the brake lines at 100,000 kilometers.
The heater and air conditioner stopped working after the first 5 weeks, but worked fine until the kilometers reached 105,000.
The CD player has stopped working completely.
General comments?
This car is quick to go and handling is great.
However the CD player doesn't work.
Hyundai customer service is excellent.
However their prices are insane.
I love hovering over this car to work on it.
However, I really hate it when Hyundai gives you the wrong part and you find out later that the part you need is more than you can afford.
