1995 Hyundai Lantra GLXi review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent but difficult to resell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
History of noisy rear brake shoes, apparently due to brake dust, not a safety issue, just irritating.
Would have got 100% for reliability except for an unresolved problem a few months ago when the battery went flat in prolonged traffic jams, dealer cannot find the fault, cutting out radio and fans etc during prolonged traffic jams provides a temporary solution.
General comments?
Mitsubishi 16v engine in automatic guise is a bit gutless and fuel consumption could be better, average about 27 mpg day to day, 30 mpg on long journeys. The autobox is the smoothest that I have ever experienced, gearchanges are almost undetectable. Ford and GM please take note that it can be done.
