2001 Hyundai Elantra GT review from North America
"This car saved my life!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car seriously saved my life, as well as two of my friends. We had a horrible car accident on the highway and this car held it's own. I recommend this car to anyone.
This car went through a lot... the roads were icy and snow covered, a truck was coming off a ramp and I got in the left lane to let him merge in the right and the left lane was a sheet of ice from not being used.
The spun around numerous times, hit an embankment rolled the car 3 times, and walked away without a scratch. The car was barely dented and the only window shattered was the back hatch part. If we were in any other car such as: a civic, accord, matrix, or sun fire; I'm not so sure I would be here right now.
I did have problems with the malfunctioning light coming on. But I soon realized that it came on when the gas cap was not screwed on tight enough. It was just a safety precaution.
General comments?
This was the perfect car for me. I am a freshmen in college and I paid $10,000 for this car, and it was worth every penny. It was so spacious and sturdy.
I owe my life to this car, as well as the man who sold it to me. If you're even considering this car... get it! You will not be disappointed, plus with the turbo you will be recognized from miles away! It's the greatest!
