2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"I liked it well enough to buy 2005 just like it yesterday"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The AC seemed very weak, but after taking it to the dealer it worked much better. It is still not the greatest AC. I just bought a new 2005 Hyundai and they assured me the AC has been improved.
General comments?
I've owned Honda and Toyota and my Hyundai has been equally reliable and a fun vehicle to own.
I took this car on a trip from home in Southwest Florida to Oregon and it didn't miss a heartbeat. It didn't use a drop of oil in the nearly 9k drive. Mountains didn't slow it down, nor did deserts, heat or snow... and I had them all.
