2002 Hyundai Elantra GT review from North America
"Great looking, good power for its class, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver electric door lock stoped working...
Fixed itself on its own somehow.
Timing belt makes some irritating noise when cold... -10 to -20
reving it a bit fixes that.
General comments?
Some helarious Cheap things.
The dash color has a really nice blue
however it seems colorfully cheap to have all other small details yello.
They skip 180 and 200
it has been replaced by 160 190 220
with extra bars.
Somehow I do not have ABS working.
Ac works great.
However when you start your car in winter with defrost option ac always gets on and must always manually turn it off.
It costs less than a civic, sentra, corrola and protege.
More power 2.0 16v
fantastic look 5dr hatchback
better handling
cheap decent mags 195/60/r15
cd player and speakers are very good for stock
Fuel effency is good.
I love the car
it looks great
its reliable
it has some class with the saab 900 style.
I do not plan to bring it to a hyundai dealership.
I have read about 10 negative reviews about their service.
